You’ve worked hard and have finally been promoted to that executive position, with a salary to match. You’ve made it, and you’re sure your financial future is bright.
But is all that income tied up in car and mortgage payments, expensive vacations and dinners out, and the like? If so, your financial security is mighty rocky. If your company fails and you’re unexpectedly laid off… if your high-flying career derails… if illness prevents you from working for an extended period of time… you’ve got nothing to fall back on.
Marketing expert and self-made millionaire Bob Bly recommends you take a smarter approach and start saving: “Money can protect you against many disasters, and make many others easier to bear. You should set a goal of accumulating $2 million in liquid assets.”
Why $2 million? Because, Bly points out, the investment income from $2 million can provide you with enough money to live on… no matter what.
