In this episode, Anthony breaks down his five-phase escape plan to get out of the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle, eliminate consumer debt, build your Freedom Exit Number, invest consistently, and ultimately create a legacy. Using the example of a woman earning $60,000 a year with $43,000 in consumer debt, he shows how changing the order of your money can turn $1,700 a month in payments into money working toward your future. If you’re earning money but still don’t feel financially free, Anthony explains the order he believes can help you get your paycheck back, create margin and finally start building wealth that serves you and your family.
