Eager to take control of your finances and become financially free? This week, Investor Intelligence revisits one of our most popular recent topics; learn about being a "tight ass" in tough times, implementing smart money habits and achieving long-term goals so you can reach financial freedom!

When it comes to tough times, the phrase “being a tight ass” is often used in the wrong context. In reality, being a tight ass simply means taking control of your finances and not worrying about what other people think. It’s about asking for discounts, telling friends you can’t go out for dinner and cooking at home instead, or bringing a bottle of wine instead of going out. It also means that it’s ok to be different and have goals that you want to achieve, even if others are following the crowd.

Luke Harris from The Property Mentors acknowledges the difficulty many people face when trying to save money: “Most people are not earning half a million dollars a year. So, you know, it’s about purchasing smartly and understanding where your money’s going.” He also refers to the quote “A fool and his money are easily parted” to illustrate why it is important to take control of our own finances rather than relying on others.

The ultimate goal for anyone with financial goals should be achieving financial freedom – having the time and money to do what you want when you want. While this might sound like a pipe dream for many people, Luke stresses that even if you don’t get all the way there, improving your financial situation over the next 5-10 years can still have massive benefits. It starts by learning good habits, implementing them into your lifestyle and sticking to your long term goals.

So don’t be afraid of being a “tight ass” in tough times - instead, use it as an opportunity to get ahead financially and achieve your dreams. With a bit of discipline and dedication, you can be on the path to financial freedom in no time!
