Lesson 12 Sacrifice now for later

This week was a great learning experience this week and reminder about what I am doing with my life and how I am truly on the right track when it comes to goals my husband and I have for our future. Erick Slabaugh talked about sacrificing now in order have the life you want later. This does not always look glamorous or fun at the beginning but in the long run can and will truly pay off.

Currently my husband and I are living off of less then one of our salaries and dumping all of the rest of our incomes into building our real estate portfolio. In the 1.5 years we have been doing this it has already allowed us to have our net worth surpass both of our incomes combined which to us is a win and great start. We always laugh because we could have a much larger house (we live in a modest 2500 sq. ft house and we rent out our basement) and drive much nicer cars and many other things but instead we are planning for our future so we can live the life that most people can only dream of.

I want to remember this down the road that the sacrifices we are making now are going to be worth it down the road because we will be able to live the life we want with our future children and not the life we have to lead because we do not have the ability to.

$100 Challenge: This week I found that marketing is not my strong suit as it was harder for me to get the word out there outside of my family and friends. On a positive note though everyone that has tried my pies loves and raves about them.
