Reaching Financial Freedom
It’s been said that the only sure way to know that financial security has been achieved is when you have sufficient monetary resources to acquire whatever is needed or desired in the present and in the future, in other words, when money is no object. So the question becomes, how can this be accomplished? Now, while the desired lifestyles will vary depending on the person, achieving this will require different amounts for different people but the end result remains the same. The only real truth that is absolutely certain is that financial freedom cannot be obtained through employment.
Studies by the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services reveal that 95% of Americans do not attain financial independence by the time they reach age 65 and therefore are dependent upon the government or they must continue working until they die.
A survey of financial experts suggests that Social Security is considered to be a flawed system. According to the Social Security Administration, recipients currently receive, on average, 43 percent of pre-retirement income and that is projected to fall below 30 percent if additional funding is not found.
So now you’ve come to the realization that you desire much more from life than employment has to offer and are no longer satisfied with just a J.O.B. that leaves you (Just Over Broke). It’s a sad existence to live life just for the weekend, because that means you’re only living on the weekend. Monday through Friday (sometimes Saturday too) you belong to your boss. Become self-sustaining and be your own boss
Isn’t it ironic how we put all of our experience, momentum, tenacity, resourcefulness, and expertise into our job producing tremendous profits for the employer and we accept our measly paycheck as if it adequately compensates us for our accomplishments?
Don’t misunderstand what I’m saying; there’s nothing wrong with making an honest living but ask yourself, when you’re working for someone else, are you honestly living or merely existing? It seems that it would make much more sense to put all of those energies into something that would guarantee a much more fulfilling and abundant life.
My name is Delores Holmes and I’m a Baby Boomer persistent in my quest to discover a better way.

I didn't have a good life and tried so many things. Different things work for different people and I was lucky enough to find one that worked for me. I used to be stressed and depressed due my bad life and financial problems... but today I can say that the law of attraction combinated with a little trick I discovered it's been a life changer... I have a good job now, no money problems at all, no anxiety, no stress, no continuous depression... if anyone actually cares to hear what I've been doing then I'd be happy to help in any way. Just shoot me an email at secretosdelara(@)gmail(.)com and tell you about how things are going for me with the stuff I've tried. I wish someone would have helped me out when I was struggling to find a solution so if I can help you then it would make my day :)

Great job Delores. One thing to ad is the concern of rainy day fund. I know I thought I was doing good and then some medical challenges drained me. We need to be prepared!
