I have been Debt Free for 5 years now so why am I Working?
I have been Debt Free for 5 years now so why am I Working?
With no mortgage payment, no car payment, no credit card payment, no utility payments and the only having to pay for food and gas for my car, what would be my reason for working.

So around 4-5 years ago I paid off … (13 comments)

family and friends: Purchasing Stocks or not purchasing Stocks? That's the Question!
- 01/20/16 06:09 AM
Purchasing Stocks or not purchasing Stocks? That's the Question!
I am not a person that invests my money in Stocks, I invest my money in real estate such as vacant land and properties with (no) structures on them.
I don't watch the news and or read newspapers so I am out of the loop when it comes to latest breaking events, etc.
Family and Friends keep me up to date on the news and from what they are telling me is ... "What's up with this Stock Market"?
It is totally crazy and some people are losing big money on Stocks and others are getting … (5 comments)

Family & Friends tell me blogging is a waste of time ...
Over the years and even this week a friend of mine told me "Blogging is waste of time" and " I don't know why you keep writing blogs"?

family and friends: Please don't be jealous because I am successful
- 09/18/15 02:19 PM
Water over Seattle from 10,000 feet by Robert Swetz 7-2015
This is not a meme post but a post about what I have dealt with most my life.
Jealousy comes in many different forms and for the most part comes from individuals that have something other people want.
Success (is not) always handed down from person to person, but achieved by very hard work. For some people success can be with money, fame and fortune.
And most people as they grow up in their life have opportunities to become successful, but either give up along the way because they become impatient or might have family … (27 comments)

For any of you out there that are caught up and or possibly controlled by money, please try and take a break.
Sure Money is important for paying bills, getting ahead and or keeping up with the "Jones" ...
But did you know for the most part, many of us can make money anytime?
And did you know that if many of us were to budget more and or get rid of some of the material and or garbage we have collected over the years that we would have more money and time for our families?
Time with our families, relatives and close friends cannot be replaced.

As we get further and further into the future and the years continue to go by, holidays and traditions can change.
