Whenever I mention investment options to co-workers, they tell me they don’t have the money, but they have every electronic gadget imaginable.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03051956393849535207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8967180796412435901.post-5298749499403922482008-02-29T02:49:00.000-06:002008-02-29T02:49:00.000-06:00Nice Entry.

I also believe that money is a tool, but I'm not as cavalier as your friend regarding accumulating it .<BR/><BR/>In truth, none of us know what our actual earning potential will be in the future and we can't just assume there will always be a job waiting for us that will allow us to earn the money to suit our lifestyle.<BR/><BR/>To me, money is a tool for comfort, but it's also a means for increasing your options and ultimately granting you the means to financial independence. <BR/><BR/>I know many folks that don't even consider accelerated accumulation/growth and are content to just put in 30+ years of work while they wait for their 401Ks to grow. When I try to tell them about other investment options and opportunities, most dismiss it as too hard or too boring. <BR/><BR/>I think whatever we do with our savings to make financial freedom arrive faster is anything but boring. =)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
