INVEST MONEY
Making and saving money are excellent starting points on your financial independence journey. However, saving does not grow your money. Further, cash loses value over time due to inflation. To achieve your long-term financial goals, you need to invest money so that your hard-earned money can work hard for you.

Secure financial stability and an enjoyable lifestyle in retirement as social security alone cannot fully meet all your future expenses
