Image As promised here is the second blog known as the 40-50 year plan something to read and truly think about:

Below is a blog written by my good friend Tommy, a successful man by many measures. I think it's something you need to think about, if you're not already. If this makes sense to you, and you feel that there's got to be more than the "daily grind"... working a minimum of 40 hrs a week just for the weekend, the weekend is gone, then you get up and start the cycle all over again for the next 40 or 50 years, at least... contact me. Check out the stats on www.ssa.gov of the percentage of people who are finanically capable of supporting themselves at the age of 65(2% are able to). And the great thing is, you can start now, no matter where you are in life. Enjoy Tommy's thoughts!

40-50 Year Plan

The more younger people I talk to, the more I see them looking for something better than the traditional: Work 40-50 years thinking they're going to retire only to find out that they have to go back to work at Wal-Mart because they don't have enough money coming in.

The sharp ones have realized that there's no such thing as a pension, trying to save in this economy is only possible if you live in a tent, and the government is not going to be able to take care of them.

What's amazing, the younger generation is so much sharper, they're already looking for mentorship and moving away from taking advise from the "Financial Experts" (Relatives, friends, etc.) that always want to give their opinion of what to do financially.

Have you ever noticed the broker someone is, the more willing they are to give someone else advice? Hmm... If they're so brilliant, uhhh... Why are they still broke?

Anyhow... You wouldn't ask a 5'-3"/400 lb man his advice for losing weight. So don't ask an "average" person the best way to create income.

Just curious: How many people with jobs do you see travelling the world with their family for weeks/months at a time? How many people with jobs donate hundreds of thousands of their dollars to start new charities?

Hmm... Maybe, just maybe, "Go to school, get a good education, and get a good job" is NOT necessarily the best way to create an income.

Do you want to make a living? Or do you want to make a LIFE?

I hear: " Oh I love what I do" Oh really?...If you had a choice to go on vacation with your family or go to work, which would you choose? If they decided to stop paying you, would you still go in? If not.... then it's not love.

Anyhow, I'll get off my box...

After reading this blog I hope all of you consider how different life is now versus twenty to even ten years ago. Anyone that has any comments is more than welcome to leave them here. Look forward to submitting my next blog

Take it easy and follow your destiny
