Ops Vs Growth

A CEO splits the company budget into two buckets. Operations keeps the lights on — rent, payroll, supplies. Growth builds the future — R&D, marketing, expansion. Your money works the same way: some keeps your life running, some builds what comes next.

Ops is your fixed costs: housing, food, transport, insurance. Growth is everything building your net worth: retirement contributions, investments, debt payoff. If your Growth allocation is under 15%, your financial company is stagnating.
