“Forget the lottery. Bet on yourself instead.” – <\/span><\/i>Brian Koslow, self-help coach.<\/span><\/p>\n Essentially there are two main ways to become financially free.:<\/span><\/p>\n Of the two methods, can you imagine which one would be the most likely to provide lifelong benefits, both financially and personally?<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text_H3: ” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” header_font=”Open Sans||||” use_border_color=”off” border_style=”solid” disabled=”off” saved_tabs=”all” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial” _builder_version=”3.22.2″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text_B:” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_style=”solid” disabled=”off” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” background_size=”initial” _builder_version=”3.22.2″]<\/p>\n While it might be \u201ceasier\u201d to simply be the beneficiary of a windfall, that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s the best choice.<\/span><\/p>\n Why?<\/span><\/p>\n One big reason is the lack of control. You have no say in winning the lottery nor can you choose whom your wealthy relative leaves their money to.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text_H3: ” background_layout=”light”

property purchases combined with smart tax management you\u2019ll be in control of much more than if you were simply handed money.<\/span><\/p>\n Of course, while you cannot entirely control the outcome when you buy an investment property, you can minimise your risk and make decisions that will improve your returns.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text_H3: ”
