Shownotes

Receive a bonus every year? Be intentional with it! It could have a profound effect on your finances in either direction!

  • Bonuses can be a great additional way to build wealth. (01:09)
  • If you were to receive a $5,000 bonus every year for 35 years working, that is $175,000. If that were to be invested every year and receive 10% over those same 35 years, it would be worth a whopping 1.3 million. (01:21)
  • As it is not money you depend on for bills, you can pretend it doesn't really exist and give your wealth a boost. Even if you just saved half, it would likely make a very clear and profound difference for you. (02:32)

Quote for the episode: "...saving your annual bonus is an excellent way to go about it. It could mean an extra 1 million or more like in our example, allowing you to be more comfortable on a monthly basis with your cash flow and reaching your goals much more quickly." (02:14)

millionaires should be very aware of to avoid. If you were
