Most people don’t fail financially because of a lack of income—they fail because they lack a strategy. Whether you’re making $40K or $400K, the key is to fortify your financial life with a few smart moves. In this thread, Virtual Dan breaks it down step by step.👇

📅 Step 4: Review once a year. Life changes—your plan should too. Track goals, rebalance investments, adjust strategy. Virtual Dan’s rule: Fortify. Focus. Follow through. (5/5).

📈 Step 3: Automate your investing. Consistency beats intensity. Roth IRAs. 401(k)s. Index funds. Automate it, stay disciplined, and let time do the heavy lifting. (4/5).
