It Really Is A Shame For You To Keep Working That Job, When So Many People Are Doing This - Jim Daniels

This may sound a bit harsh, but it's a fact...

Deep inside every human being (OK, maybe just under the surface) is a truly lazy bum who wishes they were rich enough to never have to work again. Maybe not "Bill Gates rich", but comfortable enough to do whatever they want every day. No job, no debt, no worries. You know... financially independent. In fact, this is a life-long goal of many people. "Retirement" is the word that career people use.

Come On, Admit It...

You've bought a lottery ticket or two in your day, (I have too!) with the hope of making some easy money. Not just big money, but "quit your job" money. And unless you won the big one, you'll buy another ticket or two in your lifetime. It's human nature. Hey, why not take an occasional stab at early retirement. That's why you see so many get rich quick schemes in your mailbox and in your email. Because millions of people would rather stay home every day instead of going to work. The one that still makes me chuckle is the letter from that guy who claims he made $286,000 by sending a chain letter to 100 people. It seems he was earning a good living as a lawyer but gave up his practice when the chain letter money started rolling in. Now he spends his days at the race track. Ah, the life of luxury.

If only it were that easy.

The sad fact is, nobody is getting rich with chain letters. And only one in every 180 million people will ever hit the big one in the lottery. So unless you have a huge inheritance coming your way when Uncle Joe kicks the bucket, that leaves only one way to become financially independent -- you have to do it on your own. But how in the world does someone accomplish that monumental feat?

The Old "Flawed" 20th Century Plan...

Well, in the previous century, a small percentage of people did it with something called a career and life savings. You know the idea, work a job for 35 years or so, scrimp and save along the way and retire around age 65 with a nice nest egg. Although this was pretty much a universally accepted plan for wealth during the 1900's, there was a problem many people never discussed... a little matter called life expectancy. Even near the end of the 20th century, between 1980 and 1998, when the world's average life expectancy soared... people lived only to the ripe old age of 67 years. You do the math. That's right, that leaves a whopping 2 years to reap the rewards of all that hard work and saving.

If you ask me, that's not a good plan at all.

What good is a life savings if you have so very little life left to enjoy it? Now maybe you're thinking... "Hey, that's not a bad plan now. After all, at start of the 21st century, life expectancies are reaching some 77 years. That's 12 years of retirement. Maybe I could retire a little early and live a little longer."

Wrong!

That plan is actually getting worse. Here's why...

If you think that the ideal path to financial security looks like this...

Go to school, graduate, get a good job for a good company, save for retirement, retire comfortably, travel and enjoy your golden years...

...you may be in for a big surprise -- a surprise that happens when it's already too late.

The surprise is this.... a mere 5% of people following that path ever achieve a comfortable, financially independent retirement.

Isn't that a shocking number?

That leaves a full 95% of well-intentioned, hard working people relying on government assistance, inadequate pensions, family members, or worse -- having to keep working -- just to make ends meet. I don't know about you, but I'd like to enjoy my golden years - not just make ends meet. Heck, I'd like to enjoy my entire life for that matter. Why wait until the golden years? And I can't do that if I'm slaving away for "the man" five or more days a week, hoping I won't be too old or sick to enjoy those last few years at the end. So ten years ago I decided to do something about it.

The New 21st Century Plan...

I was fed up with working my butt off and still struggling to make ends meet. So I decided to try something new. I figured I could always go back to my life of jobs if my plan did not work. I was dumbfounded when I was able to leave my last job that very same year. Today I'll share with you, the plan that made it happen. (Again, I'm going to give you this information, so relax and keep reading.) Though I did not have a name for my plan back then, I now call it...

The New Age Work at Home Plan:

"Internet-Based Financial Independence in 10 Simple Steps"

You see, now I'm that lazy bum I always wanted to be. OK, maybe I'm not that lazy, but I expend my energy where I want to. I use it to play with my kids. I travel with my family. I play golf a few times a week. I'm able to live the life I want because I make a comfortable living from home, using the Internet. How comfortable? While I do not want to hype this site up with wild income claims, you can take a quick peek at a report I just ran at my shopping cart. It shows you what my monthly income looked like during 2005, from just ONE of my sites...
