You hate your job or at least you don't really enjoy it. Maybe you like your job but you don't like your boss or the people you work with. Maybe all those things are good but the pay is not enough.
Is it time to quit your job and do a happy dance? Maybe, maybe not.
Whatever is going on, you may feel like you are running in circles or barely making it by. What they never teach us in school is that successful people, that is, people who never have to worry about their bills piling up or losing their job, never get there with a traditional job. The corporate rat race is a vicious cycle and, while it is a necessary evil, everyone should have a backup plan.
Slavery.
It's not something anyone likes. We certainly would not like to be thought of as slaves. Sadly, slavery has not been abolished completely, it has only evolved.
We are all slaves to money.
Our bosses expect salaried employees to do whatever they want.. Just like slaves. Sure, we have the right to deny unreasonable requests and do as we wish, but that does not guarantee our jobs nor does it keep us safe.
Whether by our own conscious decisions or the daily struggles, money is a necessary evil. The reality is that only 5% of the American population is financially free and maybe 10-15% are financially comfortable. Those are the lucky few that were either born into wealth or, well, just lucky to not have to worry about the financial woes of tomorrow.
