The Only 100 Words You Need to Read Today

by Caleb Wojcik · 7 comments

Getting out of debt and becoming financially independent depends on taking action.

Paying off your credit cards.
Sending in that extra loan payment.
Automating a savings plan.
Setting up your retirement account.

When too much time is spent doing research and not enough is spent on doing actual work, nothing will change.

Create a life that revolves around taking action and it will be a life filled with financial success.

Immediately go figure out how you are going to become financially independent.

All I ask is that you please leave a comment below saying what you’ll do.

I’ll start below.

(The idea for this post came from Pat Flynn at Smart Passive Income.)

Great Joseph! Transferring the money automatically before you see it in your checking account is a great solution.

Perfect! Instead of spending your tax return on a want, save it for a future need.

Today I’ll start an ING Direct savings account and call it my “Freedom Fund”!

Great post, Caleb. Just getting started really is the hardest part.

That’s great Devon! On the “get started” front, I told my boss my plans for the sabbatical. The balls a’rollin.
