become independently wealthy

I don’t know how I am to accomplish this but I am asking the universe to show me how or provide it, we will see what happens.

I have been working in jobs of one sort or another since I was 13. I started my first fulltime job when I was 16. I have had, so far, two very long, very fulfilling careers, first in the Music industry (doing… you name it! Primarily marketing and recording work) and more recently in Website application development.)

I feel that my entire life has revolved around work, with no end in site. I don’t get the sense I will be in any position to retire comfortably due to the nature of my two careers, the salaries I have been able to command, and the recent economic downturn.

I want to find ways to start making my money work for me, and have it do that consistently enough that I no longer feel the need to continually work my life away.

I was talking to my 40-year-old aunt about a mutual relation of ours. All three of us are broke. I’m 23 and our relative is in her sixties. The topic of our discussion was struggling. It’s so ironic and sad really that at our different stages in life we’re all struggling to stay afloat financially. We both agreed that we didn’t want to struggle forever. We didn’t want to be 60 and still unable to keep the cable on or pay the car note on time.

There has to be a silver lining somewhere right? I thought if you worked hard now it would pay off later. But I see so many people still struggling in their days that are supposed to be golden. I don’t want my life to be full of pink slips demanding payment and notice signs. That’s a reality for so many older people I know and I don’t want to experience the same fate.

How do you hit that silver lining? When life throws you blow after blow, how do you find the strength to overcome? I don’t want to struggle forever. I don’t want to feel like all the work I’m putting in now is useless. How do you hit the silver lining?

I am 19 years old and havea fiance and a 4 year old son. Im currently unemployed and need some assistance “finding” myself and would like to start a business on my own that will make a ton of money fast in todays economy…any ideas? Venture capitalism sounds like it would be a wonderful plan but do i need the education to do such a thing?

wanna be rich!

I think the first step towards finishing this goal (this LONG TERM goal), is to go back to school. I’ve applied I just need to get my transcripts sent. I will make sure to do that on monday when schools are actually open.

Yep, my lotto ticket has got to win one of these days…

Paypal accepted! ;D

I don’t want to have to depend on others in my old age.

This will be back on the list as soon as I find a job and I’m more established in my new life here in the US.

The will create freedom one every level of my life.
