But you can significantly increase your income, and 3 times your income is a great number you can get to quickly.

In my opinion, the best thing money can buy is impact, contribution, and generosity. Being able to make a difference in somebody else's lives. But the second-best thing, and a close second at that, is freedom. It's choice. If you are going to work your tail off, make a ton of abundance, do it for the freedom it brings you. My wish for you is that you are able to accumulate the abundance and wealth that leads to you accumulating freedom.
