Trek IV: Special Situations is a trek for families with negative cash flow and positive net worth. Families on this trek want to continue to earn income and are willing to explore options for earning income as well as reducing spending in order to restore their cash flow (note: families that are retired should, instead, use the Trek IV: Enrichment and Fulfillment trek).
The objective is to achieve a positive cash flow.
We’ll focus on two areas:
- how to live within your means, and
- how to protect your income and assets.
So let’s get started to find steps that you can take today to live within your means – finding additional sources of income and cutting back on spending. Later, we’ll look at defensive steps you can take to protect your income and assets.
