Focus on Growth
Growth is where good habits start paying "compound interest". This pillar focuses on building steady momentum beyond the basics—increasing your savings rate, making your first investments, and creating systems that work harder while you work smarter.
Think gradual optimization: capturing employer benefits, automating more of the heavy lifting, and establishing a rhythm of regular progress reviews. The outcome is measurable forward motion every month, building wealth through consistency rather than complexity, so small improvements stack up into meaningful long‑term gains.
Author’s Note
Growth was my favourite stage to write because this is where things start feeling genuinely exciting. You've got the foundation sorted, the chaos is gone, and now you get to watch your money actually work.
I focused on the moves that matter most and kept the complexity low—no need to overcomplicate when steady, simple growth beats perfect plans you never follow through on. Stick with this pillar and you'll see why small, consistent changes create surprisingly big results.
