FINANCIAL FREEDOM FRIDAY'S - Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

I want to be a millionaire so very bad.  Do people really want to be millionaires?  In thinking about the game, Monopoly, the song came from.  Let's think about this, what is the premise of the game?  How does one win the game Monopoly?  What must be accomplished to come out on top?

If you are a regular consumer and believe that the more trinkets and gadgets you have the better off you will be, you are not on the road to wealth...

If you are living paycheck to paycheck, if you are one paycheck away from poverty, you are not on the road to wealth...

If you believe that those with wealth and influence have all the latest and greatest gadgets, designer labels, expensive cars, and large houses and you too will be wealthy once you have those things as well, you are not on the road to wealth....

I think about the Sprint commercial stating one can upgrade their IPhone every year for life.  While listening to the commercial today when the terms and conditions were read, my son said 'he is reading really fast'.  I said yes, however they said really slowly IPhone every year for life, they made sure people heard that part.  Remember how you tell me to read the fine print? Make sure you read the terms and conditions, and more importantly understand them!

The other day my son and I were talking about the same commercial.  I asked him so, IPhone is basically letting people know they are going to release a new phone every year?  It made me think about one of the Billionaire football team owners who reportedly still had a flip phone in 2014.

Wealth looks different from non-wealth, and what many people believe is wealth IS NOT.

Our goal here at Epiphany Essentials is to create Financial Empowered Individuals. Financially Empowered Individuals are savers and investors before consumers; the embody wealth principles and teach them to their children; they know the value of things and realize having a big hat and no cattle is pointless; they'd rather stack their investment portfolio with assets than their closets, garages, and houses with liabilities; they are committed to living life on purpose and being able to survive without a paycheck if need be for years and years to come; they have residual and portfolio income which is far greater than their earned income. A financially empowered individual is truly WEALTHY!
