Personal Finance Land

Ever since I started habitating in a cubicle for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week I have been seeking a way of escape.  I have a decent job.  It’s okay pay and the people I work with are really gracious….and that makes it bearable.  But I longed for a way to escape the cubicle.  Not to just trade my cubicle for a corner office.  i don’t want that necessarily though being paid more at the moment would be great.

My goal is to escape entirely from having to go to a job from 8-5, to work on whatever I want.  I want my freedom back but I don’t want to be poor either.  So I’ve been listened to Robert Kiyosake’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Cashflow Quadrant and realize that he makes a lot of sense.  I first thought that his system would be a get rich quick scheme but it’s not at all.

He advises people to not work for money but have their money work for them in investments such as real estate, stocks, or business systems.  Basically, his advise is to pay off your debts, live below your means, store up cash and look for ways to invest it so that your money makes money for you and reinvest the gains until you have enough coming in each month to live off of.  That’s my plan for getting out of the cubicle.

I highly recommend it so check it out.
