I was sitting back thinkin tha other day.....we are all taught to go to school....get good grades so we can get a good job and work till we retire and then live on Social Security and other benifits......well with all that stuff going out tha window in our generation I'm just wondering what are ya'll expecting out of college? After College?
Financial Freedom is the american dream fa sho...it is why we ****, hoe, slang rocks, rap, sing...and do anything else for the mighty dollar...I plan on becomin a successful actor after college, but I gotta go to class, more on this later cuz this is an interesting topic (Finally)...
financial freedom. I don't believe in it because no matter how much money you gain... in this society, you are never completly free. in any situation that you might be in; blacks, hispanics, muslims, etc.
no matter how rich a person thinks he or she is, they really aren't that free, they can just buy whatever they want, whenever they want. moneywise, that's what makes them free to do what they want, but other than that, i don't think that Financial Freedom makes a person completly free, but only to some extent.
that's just what i think :wink:
Hotep,
I believe that to achive Financial Freedom it is more then having a Good Job. I believe that we have to learn to invest are monies into something that will generate us more money. As a student we must learn to do this before we start making the BIG BUCKS!
This is what I do!
10% Goes to Tithes
60% Saving... For later investment,etc.
10% For my own enjoyment
20% Checking

It works and it is preparing me to be a Good Steward over my Finances! However, Thing do come up so sometime I have to adjust my figures.
Prince... Save alot spend a little until the time is right!
HMM... :?

The American Dream? *Ponders* Dreams........... Ahh yes, It's really a matter of having the right job and good fortune. Out of college I will expect like 30,000 or more per year. That's what I'm working for. But slowly I hope to move up that ladder and become extremely wealthy and buy three llamas for my ranch.

Everybody should read "Financial Peace" by Dave Ramsey. He ties in money with spirituality. One of his major themes was " If you are a fool with your money now, than God will not bless you with more later", So remember that money is a blessing, and if we cant handle our finances, we are just **** our selves in the foot.
Stay away from credit cards and live below your means. Pray and give cheerfully to others in need, this is the way to Financial Freedom.
I invested $1500 dollars 2 years ago, and that will be what I live off of when I retire. We have to remember that compound interest is the best thing since sliced bread.
HOLLA
