FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE “The philosophy of the rich versus the poor is this: The rich invest their money and spend what’s left; the poor spend their money and invest what’s left.” Jim Rohn Financial Independence, being able to live from the income of your own personal resources. In other words, you don’t have to work to make a living. You work for accomplishment, for pleasure, or other reasons.

THE PLAN Start with some plan and then refine it as you go or as your needs require or your dreams require. It’s the plan that counts. It’s okay to strive to be rich? Put together a balance sheet: Assets, Liabilities, Net Worth.

THE PLAN Out-go versus up-keep. If your out-go exceeds your income, your up-keep becomes your downfall. Profits are better than wages. Wages make you a living; profits make you a fortune. Goal: Increase Assets and Decrease Liabilities.

THE 70/30 RULE After you pay your fair share of taxes? 70%--spend on necessities and luxuries. 10%--should go to charity. 10%--use to create wealth(capital investment) 10%--should be allotted to savings.

THE SLIGHT EDGE Parkinson’s Law: “Work expands to fill the time available for its completion.” What ever I have, I spend. What ever I have, I spend a little more. “Living below your means.”

FINANCIAL DREAMS AND GOALS Be specific, vivid, and have a time line. Be willing to pay the price. Have a plan to start. One simple daily discipline that you will commit to doing each and every day from now on.
