Key Takeaways
- WizeFi's program is structured around getting you to sustainable wealth as fast as possible. This is measured by getting your finances to a place where you're able to live off of the income from your investment portfolio, specifically–productive assets. This step is focused on putting as much income as possible towards your wealth-building strategy.
- WizeFi's guideline recommends 20% of your income goes towards your 4-step wealth-building plan and 80% towards your budget. That 20% is your wealth-building dollars and we refer to it as CAFR (Cash Available For Reallocation).
- The more CAFR you have each month, the quicker you can reach sustainable wealth.
- The spending guideline is based on 20 years of spending habit data for an average family of 4. Remember, the guideline is a recommendation we've found to be most effective. Ideally, 20% of your income would be applied towards your 4-step wealth-building plan.
