Wanting the benefits of Financial Freedom!

People want to enjoy what the world has to offer! They want to feel safe, to feel needed, to feel a sense of purpose, to feel loved. They want to see the world,want to enjoy the benefits of financial freedom as quickly as possible ...
But without the correct mindset - realizing whatever comes quick never last!
Knowledge - abt what they are doing and abt money! and
Guidance - believing in those who are not genuine!
People always fall into get-rich-quick scheme or being a follower, not knowing exactly what they've gotten themselves into and so on and so forth, sound familiar?
Although people want to enjoy life to the fullest, they continue to follow the rules of conventional wisdom and as a result, rarely achieve what it is they desire the most! Instead, they find themselves locked in downward spirals of short-term gratification, financial stress and lifestyle compromise. (taken from Paul Counsel's book titled Residual Income)
While the future holds so much promise, the reality is that most people NEVER achieve a fraction of their wants during their working lives or retirement years. If you look closely you will see a life of struggle and despair. You'll see a life lived at the level of compromise rather than the highest possible dreams. Why is it so????
I realized, it's the similar concept of people knowing how unhealthy they are but not doing anything abt it - living in denial coz this makes them feel better ... Sad but true! Worse if they dun even care~ That's, to me, being extremely irresponsible!
Do you know, 1 out of 4 people in the world, the first symptom of heart attack is sudden death! When i share this piece of information to friends, some said, well, it's a good way to die isn't it? OH MY GOD! Dun u think u r being awfully selfish?? Good for u in a way coz u just drop dead and leave all the good and the bad behind! Ever thought of people u love and those who love u? Then i realized, if this person has such selfish attitude, maybe its a good thing... fo the world!
What is the meaning of living if you do not understand the meaning ot true love? Even if you have the wealth in the world through hurting others, will you ever be truly happy?
What is life is there's no balance?

Learning Curve - the journey~

Decided to keep a journal and share with others on my road to financial freedom ...


Working life has not been interesting, so to speak... oh well, beauty with brain is a sin HAHAHAHA


Office politics, trading time for money, working long hour, sacrificed way too much for way too little amount of salary (oh by the way, salary means slave in Greek), blah blah blah, the list goes on. . . . and on .... and on!

Hardly have time for myself and my cats, spent all my money on retail therapy .... house lotsa unnecessary things, sky high credit card debts ..... sigh

Finally, came to my senses, i have to do something abt it!

Do u know .... 99.2% of ALL Malaysian still have to work when they reach 55, EPF, pension plans, insurance will NOT be enough to pay all the bills!

According to the latest statistics, out of every 100 ppl after working for 45 years,
1 is financial independent (YES only 1);
4 still working coz they have to;
36 are DEAD;
59 dead BROKE! living on welfare (which Malaysia doesn't have!), loans, credit card and such.

scary eh~
