A Better Way

From the moment a child is old enough to go to school, the child is enrolled in elementary school. That journey continues until the individual becomes an adult. At that point the "adult" may now attend some university or start working. Now, this pipe-line seems understandable enough. However, a thinking person would start to wonder: Is this what life is about? Or: Is this all I got my education for? To work at some establishment for 20 years, and retire?
There has to be a better way. For me, the model of working at some place for that long is absurd. The things I want to do will have to wait till weekends or holidays before they can be done. Things like visiting family, fishing, helping to build habitats for those in need... etc. Living a weekend life for 20 years does not suit me.
So, I started looking. Each day I would think of different ways to improve my living.
For those who have thought about extra income, you may have seen different concepts on television and online. Many of these plans have one thing in common: They demand a lot of your time and money. Usually, work takes up much of the day time. Money is usually spoken for, before you are paid. So, these are high value commodities that most of us cannot afford.

So much for "there has to be a better way". It looks as if some of us are destined to be ordinary people, living an ordinary life. Maybe watching the rich and famous is all that can be done. Remember that show - The Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous? Robin Leach's voice is still stuck in my head. If you don't know about it, that is alright. Just watch Reality TV or Cribs. (Is that still on?). Anyway, there has to be a better way than going to an employment place that you don't like; and doing it for the better part of your adult life.

According to Robert Kiyosaki, there is a quadrant that shows how this working life plays out. On the left side are employers and the self employed. On the right are the business owners and the investors. To be on the "right" side is the path to the better way of living that has been my quest. Now I have found this path, and I am on it. Ask me how, and I'll gladly show you.
