The Quest for Financial Freedom
Here is my dream. And a nice one it is. Not to have to worry about money anymore. This takes into account critical illnesses, Jack's education, and retirement till I am 100.
Lest you think this is an advertorial for insurance, let me assure you that it is not. Nor do I believe in the benefits of insurance except in the case of medical and for the provision of a missing breadwinner.
For financial freedom, this is what we need to set in place: passive income.
Examples are dividends from blue chip stocks, royalties, affiliate referrals, anything that does not require you to do anything.
So here is my plan:
Write a book.
Create characters to licence.
Buy blue chip stocks during the next crash.
When all of the above is in place, cash in on affiliate programs.

Mephala March 26, 2007 01:54 PM PDT Aye, that is the plan. :)

"Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages."
