法则一：务必量入为出
There will always be temptation to forsake the future for immediate gratification. We all want to buy that
new piece of technology, treat ourselves to an expensive night on the town, or take out a loan for the flashy
car we can’t afford. It might feel great at the time but rash spending hurts a lot later on.Enjoy life’s
simple pleasures and save as much as you can. Expensive things don’t create lasting happiness and
security. Careful spending will bring you greater leisure and enjoyment in the long run.
2. Put Your Moneyto Work
法则二：善于投资理财
Saving is great, but to make the most of your money you need to put it to work. Good investments can
be the difference between retiring in your 40’s or in your 60’s.A post today at The Simple Dollar really
got me thinking. According to Trent’s projections, if a person in their early 20’s invests 20% of their
income in an S&P index fund, the interest they earn will equal their current salary when they reach their
early 40’s. They could retire without a drop in income!Wise investing is the surest path to financial
independence and it’s something everyone can work on. It’s definitely an area I’ll be devoting more
attention to in my personal life and on this blog.
3. Educate Yourself
法则三：不断自我教育
To be happy we need continuous growth. The best way to grow is life long education. This doesn’t
mean you need to pursue a doctorate or spend 2 hours reading every day. Self education can be anything
that takes you out of your comfort zone. The important part is keeping an open mind and searching for f
resh ideas and perspectives.Education builds over time. It might feel like the bits of wisdom you acquire
don’t mean much, but over the years they add up to form a wiser, kinder, more interesting person.
