You do have a point about property taxes, its one of the worst plagues on our society but thats a story for a different day.

The thing to be careful of is the perception that you are "creating inventory" in that conversion process. 

If I had my way in society, everyone would start out with the same amount of money when they hit 18 - maybe 100k, I don't know - and you make whatever you make of yourself until you're dead.

However, your business must follow your own values and perceptions. 

The mentality of jumping to replace items is how most of society ends up living pay check to pay check.

Haven't bought anything from Holton-Wise and am positive they are a great company.Perhaps I (and James) should have used the word "defamatory" instead, defined as:  tends to lower the victim in the estimation of right-thinking member of society generally;tends to make them shun or avoid the victim;subjects the victim to public hatred, contempt or ridicule; ordemeans the victim in his or her profession or business.

Apparently society in general has accepted a reality you refuse to acknowledge.

The motto I live by is if I'm not growing I'm dying, so regardless of being afraid I must do it, because the end result is.........I would like to enjoy a lifestyle of financial freedom and abundance, be young enough so that I can travel anytime, give to charity as I desire, buy whatever I choose, and build meaningful things that contribute to society.

Every aspect of our society has guru's and scams.Whenever individuals seek shortcuts and easy routes to achieving a goal there will always be guru's standing by waiting to assist.  

It all depends on the lifestyle you are accustomed to and your perception of money in your life.Personally, I'm really passionate about the idea of stable future and certain benefits for my children.
