The 6 Stages of Financial Freedom

When searching for ways to become free of worrying about money, it is important to know where you stand today. Sometimes the hardest part about taking control of your finances is starting in the first place. I understand personally that it can be downright discouraging when you actually add up all of the debt that you have. This debt could be credit card debt, student loans, medical expenses, and everything in between. However, I can assure you that getting the process started of becoming financially free will be the best decision that you will ever make.

I was 19 years old and in college when I decided that I didn’t want to work for the next 40 years of my life.

The bears? or the Bulls?

So, here I am thinking to myself. What better thing to do during all of this uncertainty than start a brand new WeBull stock portfolio! I know it may sound crazy, but one of my favorite investors lives by the motto of “being greedy when others are fearful, and being fearful when others are greedy,” and right now there is an abundance of fear around every corner.

Recently, I have been aggressively pursuing the idea of building long term wealth to achieve financial freedom.

So what I have done here is put together a list of the similarities and differences between a Roth IRA vs Traditional IRA, the advantages and disadvantages of both of them, and which one I would recommend you get started with as a long term investor.
