Hello and welcome to Enchumbao! If you struggle with money, but want to be better at it than the average American, you’re in the right place. We’re here to help you figure out this money thing, so that you can build wealth along the way.
Personal finance might not be something that you learned in school. Maybe your parents weren’t equipped to teach you about it. If they were new to this country like ours, they probably had to work hard just to put food on the table and stay on top of the bills, and that was their level of financial stability. Personal finance to them was probably making sure that the bills were getting paid and that they’d save some money to build or buy their casita.
Maybe you’re not in the best of financial situations. Is debt keeping you from getting ahead? It’s not too late to get your financial life in order!
You’ll start building wealth as soon as you get your net worth from negative to positive. There’s no need to stop there though. We want you to become financially independent, so that you can enjoy life beyond your wildest dreams. And we can help you lead a great life by showing you how simple it is for you to become wealthy if you follow the recipe.
If you’re willing to defy what you know about money and put in the discipline that it takes to become wealthy, you can make it happen. It all starts with a change of mindset and doing things differently on a daily basis. It won’t happen overnight but, like a snowball effect, your financial picture will get better than you ever imagined.
Just to tell you a bit about our journey, my wife and I are a working couple in our early 30’s and 40’s planning to retire by 2020. Earlier in the decade, I decided to change my life around and we realized that if we were to invest as much as we could instead of following the American lifestyle, we could retire early.
We’re able to retire early because we reached financial independence. We have enough investments to support our lifestyle in early retirement. As of now, we have about 30 times our projected early retirement annual spending accumulated, including funds to buy a house.
Our aim with this blog is to help you build wealth by adopting simple daily habits that lead to financial independence. Accumulating some wealth is really not that hard to do. We’ll teach you the process and provide examples of people like you who are accumulating, and others who have beat the odds and became wealthier and happier as a result.
The process of building wealth is simpler than pronouncing Enchumbao. Way more simple! 🙂
At Enchumbao, we also try to share with you everything that we’ve learned that has helped us become financially independent and set us on the path to early retirement.
