“LIVING THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WORKING AND PAYING BILLS IS NOT LIVING, ITS TORTURE.”

I am living my life far beyond working and paying bills. I have money work for me, instead of me working for money.

It’s okay to keep your day job, just remember it’s not about how much you make, it’s how much you keep and what you do with your money once you get it. Some people earn and spend, some earn and waste, some earn and invest. Me, I earn, I pay myself first, I invest, I save & then I pay bills.

I use the least amount of time, to make the most amount of money, using the least amount of effort, so that I can spend time with those who matter the most and so that I can live out my true desires.

To spend your life living in fear, never exploring your dreams is cruel. To work hard for money, thinking that money will buy you things that will make you happy is also cruel. To wake up in the middle of the night terrified about paying bills is a horrible way to live. To live life dictated by the size of a pay check is not really a life. Thinking that a job will make you feel secure is lying to yourself and that’s also cruel. That’s the trap I want you to avoid if possible.
