  Money Priority Model

provides a guide to the direction of your monthly cash in order of priority. with each dollar that you deposit (net pay), how can you best allocate these funds to maximize long-term financial growth?


  Cash Cushion:

The first step in reaching financial wealth is the ability to have cash on hand for life's little emergencies. This cushion is a relatively small amount of money that can be used instead of relying on credit. Before people can eliminate debt, they need to eliminate the NEED and HABIT for using debt, which is achieved through the cash cushion. A typical cash cushion will range from $2,500-$5,000.

  Debt Elimination:

The goal here is to eliminate "bad" debt. bad debt is any debt that is not associated with an appreciating asset (mortgages -> real estate). This mainly involves credit card debt, but also debt such as auto loans and student loans. With your cash cushion in place and no need to fall back on credit, you can apply a debt roll-over plan which Strategy7 can help you create to quickly pay-off these debts with the money you currently make at a rapid pace. Once this debt is eliminated, you free up an enormous amount of cash that used to be tied to monthly debt payments that you can now direct toward investment vehicles that pay you interest!

  Liquidity & Investing:

With your debts eliminated, you can now save larger amounts of cash to protect against major emergencies such as loss of job, and also begin to invest in real estate and other investment vehicles. With the help of Strategy7 and our recommended group of asset growth/protection specialists, you will be well on your way to achieving your retirement goals.
