Enjoying The Rat Race?

Enjoying The Rat Race? The fact that you're reading this confirms that you have crossed the line and have taken an interest in creating wealth for yourself. What is the rat race you may ask? Every morning, you get up and prepare yourself to go to work - shower, breakfast, get dressed, travel by bus/train or drive your car, work from nine to five, get home to your family and have dinner, read the papers or watch the boring old television, then off to bed till the next morning. You get two to three weeks holiday leave each year and occasional overtime work. Every payday you receive your pay for services rendered to your employer. If you don't like your job anymore, you find another employer for better pay. Year in, year out, it's the same routine. You work for somebody else, not for yourself. You focus your efforts in making somebody else richer. That is the rat race. Ask yourself this question: "Do I really like the drudgery of the everyday mundane routine that I follow just to scrape a living for myself and line somebody else's pocket?". I believe you'll agree that as an employee, your world is confined and limited to certain and specific information only. You hardly have time for other activities. You cannot diversify. And the only solution is to go outside this confinement, into the open, and venture into a wider field. As an employee, you hardly learn anything new. This limits your knowledge potential, virtually crippling your mind. Another disadvantage you get for being an employee is that your income is limited. An average employee earning an average salary could hardly put aside a certain amount of money for savings for future use. Even an above average employee who could put aside some savings would hardly have enough for retirement use. It is pointless to compute the savings of below average employees, they are lucky if they don't get debt-ridden. The majority of people trapped in this race don't even realize it until it is too late.They only notice it at times when they run short of cash for unexpected expenses or when they realize what will happen to them when they reach retirement age. And still they forget about it and do nothing to improve their lives. You must realize the need to get out of the rat race as early as possible. To achieve this, you need to change your way of thinking - from thoughts of working as an employee for someone else, to thoughts of being in control of your own time and money. This doesn't mean you have to quit your day job right away. You could spend your free time learning and actually implementing moneymaking activities while still working as an employee. Once you're financially secured and have enough knowledge on acquiring wealth, that's the time to get out of the rat race and start enjoying your life. Once you are out of the rat race you continue to work only this time you work for yourself and not for other people. When you work for yourself, it does not mean that you're being selfish you're just being smart. Nobody's going to look after your financial security except yourself.Better do something about it now.
