Become Middle-Class Plus: Insert Growth Multipliers Into Your Life: Financial Freedom, #157

About this ebook
Most people dislike rich people, which guarantees they will never become wealthy. However, being middle-class isn't so bad.
No matter where you fit in, you'll need more money than you think. Having only one income (from a job, no less) is a recipe for disaster.
The best way to beat the middle-class blues is to leverage growth multipliers outside your 9-5 job.
Growth multipliers, like a dividend portfolio, ensure you beat inflation and stay ahead of the capitalist nature of America.
Don't worry; establishing a growth multiplier isn't difficult. It only requires action and a new mindset. Come inside if you seek to be extremely comfortable in the middle class.

01 Become Middle-Class Plus
Most people fear becoming rich. Somewhere along the lines, they adopted a belief that rich people are bad; therefore, they avoid the path to wealth.
However, it’s still not wrong to make a little more money. The problem is that most people cannot fathom earning income outside of a 9-5 job.
Most times, people’s jobs are their only source of income, leading to fear and anxiety.
Saving for a House Down Payment #5: Family, Small City
I propose keeping your day job and making yourself extremely comfortable in the middle class. Additionally, if you so choose, you’ll set yourself up to massive wealth opportunities in the future.
What is the middle class? Let’s first define being middle-class so we are all on the same page.
1) Own a home
2) Low debt
3) Can pay all bills from cash flow
4) A small amount of savings
5) A small amount of discretionary income
Do you have to own a home? Unfortunately, you must own a home to be middle-class because you cannot control your own destiny as a renter.
We bought a home in Florida in 2017. My military housing allowance then was $1,600, and our mortgage was $1,000. This is a recipe for building wealth.
Saving & Investing with $200/Month
Today, in 2023, that same house can rent for $2,000 (I rent it for $1,800), and the military housing allowance is $2,000. This is a recipe for being broke.
It’s hard to be middle class when someone else dictates your
