Go to school. Go to college. Get a J.O.B.
Go to work, come home, make dinner, go to sleep
Go to work, come home, make dinner, go to sleep
Go to work, come home, make dinner, go to sleep...
The rat race
This is what you were raised to do, indoctrinated to do.
The sound of the school bell is replaced by the factory whistle.
The programming that we were raised in told us that we always need to work to earn our living.
But it is not true.
In the past we had to go to the well / stream and carry water back to our homes.
Now, we have an array of pipes and pumps that deliver the water with just the turn of a faucet.
Do we demand that we continue carrying water?
So too with feeding the animals. This too can be automated.
In fact, you can pretty much automate the entire farm, given time, and you will be set for food forever.
This is capital investment.
Maslow illustrated a hierarchy of needs.
Self Actualization
Esteem
Love / Belonging
Safety
Physiological
And almost all people on this planet are somewhat stuck in the bottom level.
If they fail to get up tomorrow and go to work, there will many hungry & homeless people.
Their lives hang in a delicate balance. On a precarious perch.
But is this the way it should be, in a world on the brink of a robotic revolution of the industrial revolution?
It is not. However, we have to take stock of our situation and decide to change it.
We, the great majority of people, are stuck in the Physiological level of the hierarchy of needs, and we never think about getting out.
The way out is to become financially independent.
The basic path is to lower your costs and raise your income.
Investing the difference until your passive income exceeds your lowered costs.
Just think, how it would feel to wake up tomorrow and know that you will have food and shelter, even if you stay in bed all day. Now, I know that you wouldn't stay in bed all day. You already motivated yourself to financial independence. You probably have a ton of things that you want to do. And you will enjoy doing them, because you are not obligated to do them, and you chose them.
This is the world past being stuck on the bottom rung of the fulfillment ladder.
A world or real possibilities.
Not a world stuck in the rat race.
And this is why I say, that you need to become financially independent.
And at no other time in history has it been easier than now.
