💰 Wealth​

The Barbell Savings Strategy. Keep two buckets: a safe buffer that covers months of living costs and a small "bets" bucket for asymmetric upside (skills, small ventures, or index funds you can hold for years). Minimize the mushy middle that causes stress without much reward. Automate both on payday. Refill the buffer first after big expenses, then top up the bets bucket.
