“The first $100k is a bitch.” -Charlie Munger In the early stages of the accumulation phase (<$100k invested), your savings rate is MUCH more important than investment returns. This is because your investments are not big enough to make a meaningful increase to your account 👇🏼

Become a silent witness to your thoughts. Close your eyes Take a few deep breaths Where do your thoughts go? Become an observer of them.

It's incredible how many people are stuck in the matrix and just think they have to work until 65 because that's what they were taught. Think outside the box. Find something you love. Find a way to monetize it. Invest it all and watch it grow.
