Phases of Financial Life

This financial journey is the same for everyone except if he/she is ultra-rich.

Debt Accumulation - It's the phase of life that one spends their time on education and training to accumulate knowledge and skills (primary growth) without having any income. Therefore, a person accumulates a lot of debt in this phase.

Debt Repayment - In this phase, one repays all the debt (student loan, etc.,) they accumulated.

Asset Building - It's the phase where one builds assets (in terms of stocks, rental properties, real estate, etc.,) for passive income.

Retirement - When a person's passive income equals or exceeds his/her primary income. The phase of retirement begins.
