Green Where You Water It

Behold, the holy grail

1. Thou shalt know exactly where thy money goes.

Awareness is the foundation. If you don’t know where your money is going, nothing else matters.

2. Thou shalt live below thy means, not at them.

No lifestyle inflation until you’re stable. Freedom is in the gap between income and spending.

3. Thou shalt destroy high-interest debt with holy fury.

Credit cards, lines of credit, anything above 8–10%.
It steals from your future at a speed no investment can beat.

4. Thou shalt build an emergency buffer before chasing growth.

Even $1,000 is a shield.
Even one month of expenses is a blessing.
Peace before profit.

5. Thou shalt automate everything possible.

Bills, savings, investments — remove your brain from the process.
Systems > motivation.

6. Thou shalt only borrow for assets that build thy life.

A home? Reasonable.
Education? Sometimes.
Cars, gadgets, lifestyle? No.

7. Thou shalt invest consistently, not emotionally.

Time in the market beats timing the market.
A steady $100/month trumps a panicked $500 once.

8. Thou shalt diversify, for single baskets break.

A mix of index funds, maybe some real estate later.
No gambling disguised as investing.

9. Thou shalt plan long-term, but adapt short-term.

Life changes. Income changes. Goals change.
Financial plans should breathe, not suffocate you.

10. Thou shalt pursue wealth for stability, not status.

Money is for freedom, peace, and options — not comparison.
The richest life is the one that feels calm.
