The IAM Ascension Model · Phase 02
Financial Strength
Build the foundation.
Fortresses are not built in fear — they are built in fortitude. Phase 2 hardens the base: 3–6 months of expenses banked, credit rebuilt into an asset, insurance in place, identity locked down.
My foundation is unshakeable.

Action Plan
- 1.Open a high-yield savings account
Target 4%+ APY. Keep it separate from checking.
- 2.Automate weekly transfers
Even $50/week compounds. Treat it like rent — non-negotiable.
- 3.Dispute every credit error
File with Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion for any inaccuracy.
