Although I am often asked to speak to recent grads, I have never been asked to speak at any graduations. But if I were, I imagine I would deliver something along the lines of this speech.
Today is the last part. To see the entire speech released so far, click here and read from the bottom up.
Rule 10. Take this knowledge and use it.
You now own an education enabling you to choose to live Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck and to achieve your lifelong financial goals. As with most things in life, implementation will be your key to success.
You will make some mistakes. Everyone does. The key is to make your mistakes small ones and to make them while you are young. Larger mistakes made when you are older are much harder mistakes from which to recover.
Still, having the necessary knowledge but choosing not to help yourself leaves you an unsympathetic figure. Unlike many other folks, you have an opportunity to take the deliberate and confident steps necessary to make your own success story come true. So do so.
Go ahead. I dare you. Live Beyond Paycheck to Paycheck.
Thank you.
