After College?

financial freedom. I don't believe in it because no matter how much money you gain... in this society, you are never completly free. in any situation that you might be in; blacks, hispanics, muslims, etc.

no matter how rich a person thinks he or she is, they really aren't that free, they can just buy whatever they want, whenever they want. moneywise, that's what makes them free to do what they want, but other than that, i don't think that Financial Freedom makes a person completly free, but only to some extent.

that's just what i think :wink:

Hotep,

I believe that to achive Financial Freedom it is more then having a Good Job. I believe that we have to learn to invest are monies into something that will generate us more money. As a student we must learn to do this before we start making the BIG BUCKS!

This is what I do!

10% Goes to Tithes
60% Saving... For later investment,etc.
10% For my own enjoyment
20% Checking
............................

It works and it is preparing me to be a Good Steward over my Finances! However, Thing do come up so sometime I have to adjust my figures.

Prince... Save alot spend a little until the time is right!

The American Dream? *Ponders* Dreams........... Ahh yes, It's really a matter of having the right job and good fortune. Out of college I will expect like 30,000 or more per year. That's what I'm working for. But slowly I hope to move up that ladder and become extremely wealthy and buy three llamas for my ranch.
