Rip Up Your Old Roadmap
Has your thinking sent you in the wrong direction? Most people grow up thinking that they’re meant to go to school, spend most of their life working, and then someday retire and finally do what they really want. Using this roadmap means that retirement will appear after a lifetime of work. Those who think retirement and playtime magically show up at age 65 are living an illusion. The fact is that if you don’t focus on your retirement during your working years, you won’t be able to truly enjoy your golden years.
Take a Different Approach
Good or bad, most people accept the roadmap they’ve inherited. The majority of people believe their purpose is to acquire money during their lifetime and then retire. However, without a clear purpose to drive a working person’s life, they fail to accumulate enough money to create a wealthy retirement. Those who retire without enough money end up having to go back to work.
What if you ripped up the old roadmap and created a new one? A financial hardship often drives people to that change. By reading this section and applying the principles, you are taking the first step. Let it take you wherever you desire and create the future you desire. Make this process fun. This is your life!
Take Control!
Your new roadmap should make you feel balanced, with the appropriate proportions of time and focus spent on creating a life full of joy, not struggle, and, ultimately, wealth. It starts by taking control. Using this new roadmap will remove the illusion that retirement occurs at age 65.
With increased control, comes increased power. When you are clear about what you want out of life, you will not accept less satisfying alternatives willingly. When facing foreclosure don’t let it take control of your life. Remember you have the control, so get charged and take charge!
