Here are some tips to help you create the right mindset for financial freedom:
Don't compare yourself to anyone else. To be successful, you need to focus on creating your own path, not following someone else's. Even if they're more successful than you, it's not worth comparing yourself to them! They may have had an easier path than you did, but it's not guaranteed that their success was because of their efforts. It could be because of luck, or because they had access to more resources than you do. So don't waste your time trying to figure out how others did it — just focus on being better than where you started.
Live below your means. Don't spend money on things that don't matter as much as paying off debts and saving for retirement. If you can't afford it, then don't buy it! The most important thing is getting out of debt and building up your emergency fund so that you don't have to worry about money problems in retirement. Once that's taken care of, then start investing in low-cost index funds or ETFs (exchange traded funds) so that over time your investments will earn a higher rate of return without having much risk associated with them.
