CITY OF WICHITA JOB

They’re people who have all the money they need, yet they seem to have a choice to work when they want to...where they want to... for whom they want to. Best of all, they have all the free time in the world to travel...to spend with their kids... do gardening... lower their golf scores... to learn a new recipe in the kitchen... and to really, really enjoy life.

I also learnt the word,“LEVERAGE”which these multimillionaires used to create wealth by doing the minimum while harvesting the maximum. The true meaning of“wealth”suddenly dawned on me.

1. “TRUE WEALTH”means the ability to do what you want, however you want it and whenever you want it. This is “FINANCIAL FREEDOM” many of us are and should be yearning for.
2. Also, the time when you're due to retire has nothing to do with your age. You can retire any time you want once you've achieved financial freedom. This can happen when you reach the age of 30, 35 or 40, not necessarily 55 or 60 as we're all brought up to believe. There're people who're in their 60's or 70's but could not afford to retire because they need their jobs to continue paying their bills!

I was advised to stop“THINKING JOB". We, for many generations, our parents, their parents and their parents’parents had been brought up to have only one major objective in life -- JOB. We work hard in schools so that we could get good grades to advance to colleges and universities where we worked even harder so that we could get a good and secured JOB. Once we’ve got the jobs we want we continue to work very hard in order to maintain them and to climb the so-called organizational ladder of success. As a result, we all have fallen into the trap of the RAT RACE.

Although some of us could be drawing quite a handsome income, we're not truly“wealthy”because we're not free to do what we want and when we want.

I've heard of many sad stories of rich EMPLOYEES not being able to spent badly needed valuable time with members of their families who're sick in hospitals because they could not afford to be away from their place of work for too long as their services are urgently required by their employers.
