How I Went From a Fixed Disability Income to Millionaire
The car gradually got hotter and I didn’t notice until my vehicle pulled to one side. It became increasingly difficult to steer. I was on the 59 Freeway in Houston TX traveling at a high rate of speed. The driver side rear tire was flat and at first I didn’t know it. It became obvious when the car became impossible to steer straight and started making a belching noise.
I have been the owner of several profitable enterprises over the past decade and so when I got a “financial flat tire” it caught me off guard. I went from owning a house in the Houston suburb of Sugar Land TX to renting a room at my parents house in San Diego CA.
When you experience a flat tire on your car, you don’t abandon it on the side of the road. You change the tire. You may even call AAA if you need help or can’t change it yourself.
I got help in the form of information. I changed my mindset instead of my tire. I read books on budgeting, investing and saving money.
I purchased books, watched YouTube videos and listened to podcasts on changing my financial situation.
The first step was to identify my assets. I had a few accounts that I had forgotten about. I closed the accounts and transferred the funds to an investment account.
The second step was to choose an investment account and fund it.
I’m still working on the millionaire part, but I’m confident that I’m on the right road.
I’m going to charge my tire and not abandon my car.
