In baseball, moving to third base is a natural progression: you hit the ball, turn first base and run to second, then move to third. Of course, you wouldn’t stand idly on second base if you wanted to win—the same is true for the Wealth Game. At the second base of the Wealth Game, you might consider yourself successful. You’re living within a budget; your income is sustained and stable;  you’re making regular contributions to your retirement plan; maybe you have a business you’re expanding. But don’t stop just yet—it’s time to move to third base.

In this episode, I discuss the transition from second to third base and how it differs from the previous moves. I explain how you can calculate your net worth to assess whether you’re ready to move to third base. I also reveal the secret sauce to accumulating wealth and describe how to make your assets support the lifestyle you want to live.

“The goal of the third base is to go where our assets provide us with enough income to cover the cost of our lifestyle.” - Justin Goodbread

This week on the Financially Simple Experience:

  • How to know if you’re ready to move from second to third base
  • How the move from second to third base differs from the move between first and second
  • The Millionaire Next Door Calculation Gap and the power of compounding interest
  • Using your income increase to expedite your transition from second to third base

Our Favorite Quotes:

  • “Compounding interest is the secret sauce to making your track easier to the third base and providing you the income that you need.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “As your income increases, allow the spread of your lifestyle and earnings. If you can increase your investment and take your surplus over your lifestyle to magnify the speed at which you move from second to third, it’s a win-win.” - Justin Goodbread
  • “Shift your mind away from reliance on income—the job that you have, and the business you sacrifice so much for—and move into the assets you’re accumulating.” - Justin Goodbread
