Don’t Horde Your Money Until Retirement

This common mistakes prevent people from getting more out of life

Saving for retirement is a good thing. Investing your money and watching the returns compound over time is also a good thing.

Investing and minimal expenses are two incredible vehicles that will speed up your path to retirement. Then, once you retire, you can live off the money and spend it from time to time.

The last part is where problems emerge. Now, there is a fine difference between buying your way to experiences versus the latest Gucci fashion items.

But you shouldn’t delay the most exciting parts of your life.

One of my life goals is to run in all of the Marathon Majors (New York, Boston, Chicago, Berlin, London, and Tokyo).

Each marathon has registration fees, and the travel expenses aren’t going to be cheap either. I am a New Yorker which makes the first two on the list easier on the budget. Chicago is the first one on the list that will require a bit more traveling expenses, and the final three…those will definitely get pricey.

I’m able to think about running all 6 of those marathon majors because I’m fast enough to run a qualifying time and I’ve been prudent with my money. Any money I make goes straight…
