Why on earth — for what reason could you ever imagine — would someone in their right mind roll out of bed, shower, climb into the car, fight traffic and stagger into work for 25 days — 5 WEEKS — and do their job for FREE?
Surely you wouldn’t do that. Would you?
It makes it hard to believe that this is what most financial advisors are telling you to work toward. That’s what your parents and grandparents are telling you to strive for. That’s what traditional wisdom thinks is wise. Does it really sound like sensible advice to you?
Yet, if you follow old-fashioned, traditional wisdom, pay cash or strive to pay off your mortgage in whatever fashion you’ve devised, you are headed exactly toward this goal! With every payment you make to principal, you are working more and more FOR FREE, out of the goodness and sharing of your own heart.
Every payment takes you one step closer to working five or six weeks for free each year. Maybe you want to donate the labor, toil and stress involved in 5 weeks each year for the good of the country.
Here we are. We’re a nation with the lowest savings rate since Depression-era 1938. What are we doing? Taking our money, produced with our precious time, and just giving it away in taxes.
The smartest people aren’t making this mistake. They maximize all legal, rightfully earned and freely offered deductions offered in the tax code. If you use these tax laws properly, you can arrange to work for over a month for yourself and your family each year, because the money will come right back to you.
Build your wealth with that cash. It’s there — waiting for you to take it.
Don’t just ignore it. Be smart and take off those “Glasses of the Masses” and see those bucks right in front of your eyes. Time’s a-wastin’.
