Celebrating Personal Freedom on Independance Day

July the 4th is Independence Day in the US, it’s a day of barbeque’s and fireworks.

But really, how free are people in the US, and every other country around the world? Most people are stuck in a job that they hate, slaving away for an elusive retirement when they’re 65 years old (or older) and about to drop dead anyway. And most of these people will retire with less money than they had in their working years.

THAT’S NO WAY TO LIVE!

People are so obsessed with chasing security, that they’ve forgotten how to live!

And don’t give me this bs: “Amit, well you’re LUCKY, not everyone can live like you!” I had a plan. I choose this awesome lifestyle I live now. I struggled for years. I did what other didn’t have to guts to do. The harder I worked and the more determined I got, the “luckier” I got.

You got to be willing to risk and make some sacrifices in the short term to earn your personal freedom from the rat race. If your dream & desire is strong enough you can be financially free and live your dream life.

On the 4th of July, Independence Day, I really had time to reflect on how great being free is, and not being enslaved to “The Man” anymore.

My wife and I went to the North End here in Boston and walked the Freedom Trail, and saw Paul Revere’s House.

We then spend the evening on a beautiful yacht, with an amazing view of Massachusetts Bay Area. We had some amazing pork chops for dinner, and had great conversion with another couple, who own several businesses in Boston and had, get this, 500 employees!

We talked about the benefits of racking up tons of Membership Points with American Express. In my opinion the best benefit is being able to get free first class tickets for 90,000 points!

Around 10:30pm we watched fireworks from the top of the yacht. What an experience!
