EXPLORING THE POWER OF OUR DREAMS

By Muhammad ZeeshanPublished about a year ago 2 min read

Hey there!

Have you ever thought about how some people seem to have their life together before they even hit 30? Like, how do they manage to travel, own their dream car, or even start their own businesses? Well, it’s not magic—it’s just a bunch of smart habits and decisions. Let me walk you through 10 super-simple tips to help you achieve financial freedom too!

1. Know What You Want

First things first—what does financial freedom mean to you? Do you want to travel, buy a cozy home, or just have enough savings to feel stress-free? Jot it all down! When you know what you’re working toward, it becomes easier to stay motivated.

2. Keep Track of Your Money

You know how your phone shows battery percentage? Imagine if your wallet had one too. That’s what budgeting does! Use the 50/30/20 rule: 50% for your needs (like rent and food), 30% for fun stuff (yes, Netflix counts!), and 20% for saving or paying off debts. It’s like giving your money a job.

3. Start Saving and Investing Early

Think of saving money like planting a tree. The earlier you plant it, the bigger it grows. Start small, maybe with a savings account or an app that invests spare change. Over time, those little amounts will grow into something amazing.

4. Don’t Rely on Just One Job

Here’s a secret: most wealthy people don’t just have one job. You can start a side hustle, like freelancing, selling homemade goodies, or even teaching something you’re good at. Extra money = extra freedom!

5. Learn About Money

Okay, I know “financial literacy” sounds boring, but trust me—it’s a game changer! Read simple books like Rich Dad Poor Dad or watch YouTube videos about saving and investing. It’s like unlocking cheat codes for life.

6. Avoid Spending All Your Raises

When you get a raise or bonus, it’s tempting to splurge. But here’s the trick: pretend you didn’t get it. Save or invest that extra money instead of upgrading to a fancier phone or more subscriptions you don’t use.

7. Pay Off Debt Like a Pro

Debt is like that friend who overstays their welcome—it eats into your happiness. Start with the high-interest stuff (like credit cards) and get rid of it ASAP. The less you owe, the more you’ll grow.

8. Use Tech to Your Advantage

Budgeting apps like Mint or YNAB can track your expenses and savings automatically. It’s like having a personal money assistant in your pocket—minus the salary.

9. Surround Yourself with Smart People

You know the saying: "You’re the average of the five people you hang out with." Find friends who are good with money, and you’ll naturally pick up good habits too. Maybe start a money challenge with your squad!

10. Be Patient and Celebrate Small Wins

Rome wasn’t built in a day, and neither is your bank balance. Celebrate every small victory—whether it’s saving your first $100 or paying off a small debt. The little wins will keep you going.

Wrapping It Up

There you have it—10 easy, no-fuss tips to help you get closer to financial freedom. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about making small, smart choices every day. So, why not start today? Your future self will thank you.10 Friendly Tips to Achieve Financial Freedom Before 30"
