Not long ago my friend was fired from her job of 15 years. Her pervious company was bought out and the new owners wanted her out because her income was too high. Fired. No severance pay, nothing. Her son is in college and her daughter is still in high school. She has no college degree, so major corporations don\'t want her. What good would they do anyway? I have seen it time and time again, there is no security working for some one else. They pay you just enough to get by. Then they either pick up shop and leave town, sell out to another company or by what ever means, say, \"Good bye. We don\'t need you any longer.\" How many times has your bank changed names? Someone loses a job. Often times, a lot of someones. Is your job secure? Are they paying you enough or just enough to make ends meet? What about your retirement? Are you going to have enough to live on when that time comes? Or are you going to be like 90% of the population surviving on Social Security Income? Will Social Security Income even be available when it\'s your time? Are you going to have to work full time like many people I know into their seventies and eighties?



Sure you could cut back, limit your liability, quit going out, buy the cheaper cuts of meat, eat more rice and beans, (not a bad health idea), get a second job, buy a used car omitting car payments and costly auto insurance. There are a ton of things you can do to reduce your monthly expenses. Even with all those cuts are you going to be able to put enough money away to have a comfortable retirement? Are they fun? Not really. After working 40 - 50 years to have to retire on next to nothing is more than heartbreaking. An abundant life is what most people want. They want it all. Why do people play the lottery? They want it all, now. A lot of people wish they could win the lottery. Sure a few win, will you?





You\'ve heard the saying, \"Pay yourself first.\". How can you do that when you don\'t even have enough to pay the rest each month? OK. Let\'s say you are able to put money away each month. Bravo. You are one of the few. However, will it be enough to live on at retirement? I don\'t know. Say all goes well in the markets you\'ve invested in, will it be enough? Are you going to be OK if your investments turn negative? What then?



I\'m sure you are well aware of the fact that most corporations diversify. Even K-Mart bought Sears and remain operating under the two names. They have more than one or two investments. That seems to be the best bet these days. Don\'t go quitting your job. It pays some bills, buys some food. Better yet, try an internet business to supplement your income. Become good at it. Reinvest your internet profits back into your own business. Then, when you are comfortable with it and your income from this new internet business is exceeding your regular paycheck, then you may wish to leave your regular job. But don\'t go quitting your job until you can replace your current income.



I personally started a business when I became unemployed myself. I used credit cards to fund it. Not everyone is comfortable doing that, however. It didn\'t take long, about a month, before it started developing a nice income. I reinvested my profits back into my own business and before long, I became self-sufficient. You can too, with the right coaching and system. You must first take that initial step and look in to it. There are many internet businesses to get involved in. Find an internet business you feel good about. One that fits you.
