Like everybody else, I badly want to be rich. So I can provide my family with our dream luxury home. My children will also have the best education money can buy and twice per year we will have vacation in exotic places.
Only three years ago I was living from pay check to pay check and wandering where all my money went. Mind you , I am a consultant in a medical field earning around 12K per month. However, I badly managed my finances, living beyond my means trying to keep up with the Jones. I was one pay check away from going broke. I was very depressed and said to myself "I will never be rich continuing with my present lifestyle. I need to do something quick to get myself out of this rut."
Then Robert Kiyosaki and Adam Khoo came long with their catchy financial education books, seminars and so on. I was initially very sceptical about all these but somehow forced myself to read Rich Dad Poor Dad series by Kiyosaki and later Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires by Adam Khoo.
I discovered how to improve my financial intelligence and how to organise my finances. Suddenly it does not seem so difficult at all. The path to financial freedom is much clearer now. As Adam Khoo put it, there are 4 levels of wealth.
1. Financial Stability
2. Financial Security
3. Financial Freedom
4. Financial Abundance
So where am I right now? I am currently at No. 2, Financial security. How did I achieve all this in 3 short years. I will let you know in my next post.
