Here we are again, the start of a new year. A clean slate, a blank canvas. It’s beautiful. Perhaps you’ve made resolutions for how things will be different in 2024, with a level of determination like you’ve never felt before. I only know that because I know myself. For years, I resolved at the start of every year to get out of debt, get our finances figured out and get on with becoming super wealthy. And that’s about as far as it went—big dreams.

I hate to be the one to throw a cold blanket on your dreams, but if you’re holding out for the life you love to materialize as soon as a boatload drops in your lap, don’t count on that.
