Can I ask you a question?

Why do you go to work?

I’m assuming that you do, because most of us have to.

I submit to you that at the end of the day, you and I work because we must.

We have debts and obligations that need to be met.

We all need to put the proverbial roof over our heads and food on our tables.

Right?

Ultimately, we work to provide for our basic needs, not only for ourselves but also for those who are dependent on us. We do this with the hope that one day we can stop “working” and have time for the people and things that really matter most to us.

Tragically, the hope of reaching that tantalizing carrot on the end of the stick is often never attained.

Consider the following stats:

• The average life expectancy of an American male is 76 years

• 81 years for an American female.

• The average age of retirement, that supposed golden era of our lives not bound to "working" is at 63 years of age.

Let's do some quick math to see what the ROI (Return on Investment) of this carrot chasing produces.

• So, the average American works 30-40 years chasing that carrot, sacrificing their "what matters most" for only 13-18 years of time freedom.
• On average, that's a 3 to 1 time investment.

Not very good, if you ask me.

Especially, if you consider that the enjoyment of such time and economic freedom comes at the twilight of your health and energy stores.

Most people finally reach retirement and then are not able to enjoy it because they're too old and their loved ones just don't have any time for them. Why? Because they are now busy chasing that same ol' carrot that consumed the best years of their elders lives.

The steep cost of doing business needs to be paid from one generation to the next.

Will this insanity ever end?

There has to be a better way!

I believe there is.

Stay tuned to my next post on this subject to find out what I consider to be a better way.

I'll give you a hint. It has to do with being B.L.U.E.R.

Remember!

Quitters never win and winners never quit, but this who never win and never quit are just plain dumb.
