The world doesn't mean for us to keep the same friends for life. Every once in a while, we meet amazing people early on, but in the long run, friends leave.

As you progress down your path to transform your mindset and finances, your friends will feel left out of your life. They want you to celebrate their new cars, motorcycles, and massive homes.

You will be too busy building income from retirement planning, investing, business, real estate, and cryptocurrencies. They are not bad people; they are just happy being average people with above-average spending habits.

In the end, we are the average of the five people with whom we spend the most time. Do you want to spend time with people who keep up with the Joneses, do drugs, and watch Netflix all day?

Or people who build businesses, discuss investing, and have strong family ties? The choice is up to you—choose wisely.
