Wake up, go to work, come home, go to sleep, repeat. Work, get paid, spend, repeat. These are the cycles millions of people go through constantly all over the country. And sadly, millions of these people will go through this cycle for most, if not all, of their adult life. But why? We are a consumer-driven, instant satisfaction society that hasn’t been taught the basics of personal finance. This is what I call the “Rat Race.” We have tons of educational requirements around the country, but only 21 states require any personal finance instruction in high school, with only six requiring a stand-alone course as a high school education requirement. Last time I checked, every single person needs to have some sort of income and pay bills.
According to recent surveys (see here and here) only about half of workers are satisfied with their jobs. Conversely, that also means about half of workers aren’t satisfied with their jobs. Which half do you fall into? And even if you are satisfied with your work, a tipping point may come where the work isn’t as satisfying for the compensation you’re receiving, or the hours and time at work are taking too much away from friends and family. You can plan ahead for that.
How would you like to get out of the “Rat Race” and take the “Off Ramp” to a secure financial future?
So if you’re living in the “Rat Race” of life or want to improve your financial situation and take the “Off Ramp,” come on this journey and learn how you can achieve financial stability, a comfortable retirement, and financial freedom.
