Decide when you want to become debt-free and create a realistic timeline.

📊 3. Create a Budget
Know where your money is going and direct every available dollar with purpose.

⬇️ 4. Choose a Payoff Strategy

Great insight by: Mark Cuban

Mark Cuban: AI is not going to take away 50% of the jobs.

“There’s just so much sh*t it can’t do that regular people need it to do. Right?

Now, does that create opportunity? Enormous opportunity.

There’s no better time to be an entrepreneur because that’s where AI is the most impactful, no matter where you are in the world. They have big utilization in Brazil, India, France, US, wherever.

But again, all this talk about taking white collar jobs is ridiculous when it can’t even do the basic sh*t.

And you have to have, like you said, a programming mindset in order to be able to iterate and figure it out.”
