Money, Sam Borrett 2008

Once we understand that money is nothing but a tool or medium of exchange we can take the heat out of the word. In its true context money is a “currency,” and like a current functions best when it is circulating and when it’s flowing.

The trick to money is having a relatively even flow. If it moves too fast then nothing is left and spenders know this fact. Conversely, money should not just be lying around being hoarded; Hoarders know this feeling of boredom and emptiness. In nature a river flows, sometimes fast, sometimes slow.

A thorough self-examination of our characteristics and our attitude to money is a pre-requisite to an understanding of money and a mastery of it.

With the right attitude even a person with a little money can live like a Queen or King. It is just a knack. And even a rich person can sometimes live like a pauper.

Find out how you can live your life the way you want. It might be easier than you think.

On the other hand, if you’re thinking of retirement you have other considerations. The idea of retirement is a recent one. It was invented after WWII to keep the Silent Generation working away in the factories, warehouses, steel mills, and automobile plants.

The promise was basically this:

Work hard now, save your pennies, and retire in Florida. It worked for some. The few who made a lot of money and saved are now enjoying leisurely, nonworking retirements in special communities all over the country.

For most, however, retirement proved to be a cruel joke. Many retired people live a very meagre life in old homes, old clothes, unwholesome food, and endless TV.

To be in the flame as far as your work life is concerned depends largely on whether you love what you’re doing. There are other options but this is by far the easiest as you will be energised by the work you need to do rather than drained.

When you start the program you will gain the experience you need to start a business, get a new job, ask for a promotion, make more money than you had thought possible. You just need to be a bit of a Maverick or have enough Maverick in you.

In short you can re-invent yourself in easy to manage steps.
