That's a pretty bold statement, but when it comes to my new coaching clients - some of the most successful and financially savvy people of any group any where - I can count the exceptions to it on one hand and still have several fingers left over.
The bottom line, most people keep far less of the money they make than they should. Most households, independent of how much they take in, are bleeding 15 to 25%
of their total income each month.
And this money-leakage not only hurts your lifestyle in the here and now, but cripples your ability to align your finances with your Soul Purpose and to accelerate your money.
Let's face it, when you lose that 15-25%, it's not taken from your mortgage and grocery bills - it's taken from what's normally called your "disposable" income. In short, it's taken from your freedom.
Harnessing your cash flow to provide you with more freedom and greater ability to invest in yourself and your Soul Purpose is a core facet of Freedom FastTrack, and usually one of the first steps on your path to financial independence.

general lack of household accounting skills– what's coming in vs. what's going outAll of these income robbers should concern you individually. But they're also all just symptoms of a larger, malignant point of view. From our insurance, to our credit score, to overpaying financial advisors, most households simply accept these costs as inevitable. Most never take control.
But failing to take control and letting so much money slip away so has a cumulative negative affect. Imagine what an extra 25% could mean to your ability to invest in your Soul Purpose. The opportunity costs – the money and assets you could have produced with that lost money – are often the difference between an average life and a wealthy prosperous one.
Where are you bleeding? How much?
