Rich

I know a lot of people who say they want freedom, but in reality they want wealth...For example, you can achieve freedom by purchasing a very cheap property, paying it off quickly, moving in, and then building enough cash flow to pay for the basics -- food, clothes, used car, insurance, etc.That would give you freedom from having to work for someone else...The problem is, most people want more than that -- they want a nice house, a couple cars, good food, vacations, toys/gadgets, etc.

I was a real estate agent for 2 years, and started investing myself after having read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".

It makes old wood look rich again.

food for thought.i don't do it myself.

I am a Rich Dad member and fan.

-What prompted me to do more researching the topic as after reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", which really shifted the way I think now about work and financial planning.

Thanks -Rich
