Said another way: Work once, get paid every month for as long as you keep your "golden goose".That's not to say that it comes easy.

The Golden Goose.

You asked for advise: as @Bob Bowling is apt to say, don't kill the golden goose!  

I like the phrase of the "golden rule" he who has the money makes the rules, approach to investing.

In fact I hate to SELL any of my Swans who are laying golden eggs :-) But if I lost my job I know I could adapt and sprinkle in some sales/refi's to keep the wolves awayPeter Thanks for asking that was a great question that I had to think about for a while as no one has ever asked me before ...

Vesting can be the rust on the golden handcuffs.

What i have found is for some reason everyone wants to ask questions really only to wait for some 'golden ticket' answer that makes them a mil in the next month 🙄

Part of me wants to follow the GC way, the other part is like "woahhhhhh buddy, slow down, debt is bad, cash is king" (see Dave Ramsey if you aren't familiar with already).What I have personally done is take the motivational aspects of GC as well as the golden nuggets he has to offer, without necessarily going "off the deep end".

William Golden thanks, from now on I will try and be open to everything!
