Practical Scenarios

1. ​ Building Passive Income: Start by investing in dividend-paying stocks. Use the dividends to purchase more shares, creating a snowball effect.
2. ​ Avoiding Liabilities: Before purchasing a luxury car, ask: “Does this improve my net worth or income?” Delay until you can finance it through asset-generated income.
3. ​ Starting a Business: Begin with a small venture aligned with your interests (e.g., an online shop). Use it to learn about cash flow and tax management.
