Love your family, because they can love you back.
I have never believed in loving a company.
No company can or will make your life wonderful.
When I join a company, I am not becoming one of them.
There is no status in being an employee of any company.
No government will do it for you either.
Government pensions are a sick joke.
It's nothing more than redistribution of wealth.
Company pensions barely exist any more.
Where they do, their performance is lackluster.
Private pensions are only a little better.
But not worth the paper they are written on.
Folks, you have to rely on yourself.
I have been lucky as I've had a steady income for many years.
But I know that one day it will end.
Not wishing to rely of a government or company pension.
I set about a plan of self reliance.
Every pay check is a blessing.
Evey pay check is another one banked.
I have always had more than one job.
I try to live off my other incomes and invest my entire salary.
I have no Aston Martin, no Rolls-Royce.
I wouldn't want one.
But I'd like to borrow yours for a week-end.
Over the years this plan has grown to a sizeable amount.
The dividends will one day supplement then replace and hopefully surpass my salary.
But until then I work, and I save.
And reinvest, and pay taxes, and reinvest.
Compound interest is the strongest force in the universe.
For the sake of profit.
