If the founders of EDGE, Allan and Alistair, could go back in time, what financial advice would they give their younger selves?
Here is what they had to say:
Alistair: ‘I wish I truly understood the power of compounding and investing in general. Even small amounts invested consistently from a young age can become life-changing over time. Consistently putting money away before spending on anything else and building that discipline early is far more powerful than waiting until you earn more.'
Allan: ‘I wish I had focused earlier on building assets that generate long-term income and value, instead of sometimes chasing lifestyle upgrades or short-term gratification. Automating your savings and investments every month is key. Consistency always beats intensity when it comes to building wealth! It's important to stop viewing money purely as something to spend or earn and start viewing it as a tool that buys freedom, choices, and time with the people you care about most.’
The message from both professionals is clear: The earlier you build structure, the easier building wealth becomes.
