Money in Motion

If your money isn’t working for you, you’ll always be working for money.

Financial freedom isn’t just about earning a paycheck—it’s about multiplying. It’s about building a system where your money continues to grow, even when you’re not actively working.

This may have been obvious to many, but for me, this concept completely changed the way I view money. I had always just viewed retirement as more of a savings account. If I saved enough to meet my needs for a certain number of years, then I could retire, which really seemed overwhelming to think about. For some reason, I hadn’t considered that my money and assets could continue to gain value and even cash during retirement.

The book Rich Dad Poor Dad taught me that wealth isn’t built by trading time for money; it’s built by acquiring assets that work for you. This made me realize how much more there was to learning about money, and that a paycheck is just the beginning—not the goal.

This isn’t just about chasing wealth. It’s about creating margin.

Margin to rest. Margin to give.

Margin to say “no” when needed and “yes” to what matters to you most.

When your money starts making money (through investments, interest, dividends, or business ownership), you begin to reclaim your most precious resource: time. That’s when you can stop living paycheck to paycheck and start living life on your terms, with purpose, generosity, and peace.

So ask yourself:

  • Is my money multiplying?

  • Am I building a legacy, or just surviving the moment?

  • What seeds can I plant today that will bear fruit tomorrow?

True freedom begins when your assets generate income, because when your money starts making money, you start reclaiming your time, your choices, and your legacy.

Let your money move with intention. Let it reflect your values, and let it serve the future you’re called to build.

I feel we are all students of one another, learning from each other’s strengths and weaknesses. I am not a financial advisor, but I am continuously learning on my journey to become financially independent, and I’m passionate about teaching others how to do the same. Come learn with me so we can live our best lives and then spread our wings to help others do the same
