Financial Freedom
Financial freedom is not attained by the possession of money alone. It is attained by the service one renders. Useful service may be converted into all forms of human needs, with or without the use of money.

Those who are financially free have learned a central rule of riches: You may have all the money you desire-the only requirement is that you earn it. Fully 80 percent of those with whom you come in contact think of money all the time without realizing the above maxim. The average man will tell you he wants to make a million dollars, or that he wants to make a lot of money. He doesn't realize that the only people who make money are those who work in a mint. The successful must earn their wages or profits.
