I’ve struggled with how I can properly communicate not only my story but how to provide realistic advice that you can apply to your finances.

I haven’t reached the promised land of Financial Independence just yet but I’m well on my way. We have no debt besides our primary mortgage (and the debt on our investment property). Some of the strategies I talk about at this level are not relatable or suitable for you if you’re just starting out on your Financial Freedom journey, and that’s ok.

I realize that aggressively saving and investing $85,300 is not always relatable to you. Sure it can be inspiring, but then what? How can YOU get to that point if you’re still trying to create and stick to a proper budget, are deep in debt or have a less than ideal income?

But how can you get from where you are now to where I am today and even surpass me in your journey?  (Take the free Your Way To $85K Savings email course)

That’s what I want to show you.

With a guided effort to speak to you exactly where you are, I will slowly start organizing my content and resources by skill level and position points on the journey:

• Beginner Journeyer
• Intermediate Journeyer
• Advanced Journeyer

Click here to take the Journeyer Quiz to find out where you are on the scale.

Each skill level has a distinct set of characteristics and attributes. You’ll have applicable tips and steps that you can apply exactly where you are. You’ll be able to access resources and articles at any skill level you want, you’ll just have a better understanding of the path and where exactly on the journey you are.

The idea is that in order for you to progress to the next level, you need to be given information that directly relates to your current situation. That doesn’t mean you can’t learn and take information from different levels. As an Advanced Journeyer, sometimes you’ll still need foundational information in the Beginner Journeyer level. If you’re an Intermediate Journeyer, perhaps you’re ready to apply some more Advanced Journeyer knowledge to your finances.

Whether you’re a Beginner Journeyer, Intermediate Journeyer or Advanced Journeyer, we all share the common goal, to reach Financial Freedom by optimizing our finances, improving our habits and staying focused on the journey.

No matter your level, the underlying theme at JourneyToLaunch is that you can benefit from support, accountability, and resources to help you on your journey.

Below is a brief description and a set of attributes associated with each Journeyer level. There is no one size fits all and every attribute in each level doesn’t have to apply to your situation. Just pick the level you feel fits your situation the most:

Beginner Journeyer–

You’re just starting out on your financial freedom journey. You haven’t always made the best financial decisions but that’s all in the past. Perhaps your parents didn’t teach you much about money or maybe you were sold the dream of overpaying for a college education only to land a job that barely allows you to pay more than the minimum on your student loan.

Whatever your reason, you’re tired of sitting on the sidelines and watching other people live the life you were meant to have. You’re looking to make some serious changes to your habits and mindset so that you can break the negative financial cycle. You need help getting started, staying focused and learning the basics.
