I didn't know what financial modeling was, but from the looks of it I'm already pretty heavy into financial modeling both in work and in managing my personal finances!

[@gauravshaw9321]

Thanks for your Short and simple guide!🙏

[@Video-Games-Are-Fun]

you can even use financial modeling on YOURSELF to determine how you will behave with money in the future. WHY does this matter? MARRIAGE! do you want to marry someone who cannot control spending? and you can use it just on yourself to improve your own behaviors. this is not just for corporations because you yourself are a business as you earn income and have all the expenses most businesses do.

I began my investment journey at the age of 27, primarily through hard work and dedication. I am to share that my passive income exceeded $80k I’m a single month for the first time. This success reinforces the importance of the advice mentioned earlier. It is not about achieving quick wealth, but rather ensuring long term financial prosperity

[@derp-x3j]

how do you make $80k passive income in a single month? a shit ton of cash to investment?

[@ashley0238]

I’m just a curious marketing girlie
