You have to know what you want to do when you get there. "The Number" by Lee Eisenberg is a great book because it focuses almost entirely on that concept. Exactly!

The goal is to be financially FREE, which is to say that you're not thinking about, are not forced to think about, money all the time. Similarly, net worth is not what you should thus focus on, but cashflow.... enough to meet your needs and basic wants for the life you want to live.

It's easiest to learn from our mistakes, and being broke is something you never forget. I plan on making sure it doesn't happy again.

That's something I'm struggling with now. I've been trying to keep my expenses the same as my income goes up. The best way I've found to do that is to keep my visible take home income the same, regardless of what my actual income is. As an example, if I get I raise, I put that extra money directly into my 401K, so that I never see it. It's a good way to break the trend of spending more as you make more. Excellent point Caleb.

One should ask him/herself if they are broke because of ability or because of choices. I found that to be the biggest lesson I learned from being broke. From age 16 to 24, I had tripled my income, yet, at the end of the month I was still broke. This has helped me realize that it is the philosophy behind my finances that has dictated my financial freedom.
