Charlie Munger once said that "The First 100k is the Hardest". Andrea shares about her experience saving $100,000 and how hard that was and then she reverse engineers how saving $100 was just as hard. She speaks about levels and how when you are going to the next level financially each new level is the hardest. The first $100 is the hardest one hundred dollars that you save. The first 1k is the hardest one thousand that you will save. The first 10k is the hardest ten thousand you will ever save. And "The First 100k is the Hardest" that you will save just like Charlie Munger once said about building wealth.
