Ever look at your annual salary, your business’s revenue, or your rental property income and think, “I’m making good money!”...only to wonder where it all went by year’s end? Or worse… realize you spent more than you made?

Here’s the truth: the big income number you’re proud to share—the one on loan applications and business cards- might be sabotaging your financial future. Because it’s not what you make that matters… it’s what you keep.
