But I think people might be misled by the assertion "spend less than you earn is the wrong way to think!" You still have to spend less than you earn, or you're in trouble! Thanks for sharing such a nice post. I totally agree that increasing income is important.

I liked your point about making debt payoff quicker. Dave Ramsey talks much about beans and rice, but you don't have to think like that like you say. Flip it on its head and start bringing in some more money. I've also been able to do it with my blog and I'm getting ready to pay off our student loans. A debt we'd never considered paying early until the secondary income started coming in. Alternative streams help you do things you once thought weren't possible. I love mine. Loved the post, Steve.

Yes I am very fortunate that I love what I do. I follow my passion and therefore I do not consider what I do work. I don't care if I work all day as I actually love it. It is just the way I am. If I love if - why would I want to take holidays or retire? In fact even when I do go away I still do my passion.<br /><br />I am not some rich kid. I am just a normal guy in fact I didn't do any formal education past high school, but 30 years later I live on the other side of the world from my home town and live a great life because I made decisions to do things that I love doing rather than going to work. <br /><br />I earn enough to sustain a nice lifestyle, but I am not a millionaire. I have my own small company (in fact 2) one providing laser special effects and the othe providing training to people who want to make more money. Maybe you can take a look at <a href="http://fwdservice.com/?dmn=millionaireanonymous.com&folio=212511050" rel="nofollow">Millionaire Anonymous</a> if you are interested.<br /><br />My suggestion is...don't get a job.

I grew up in a family of 4 in nearly 6,000 sq.ft., and I know what that costs a household. My family of 4 lives in under 1,500 sq.ft. and living is cheap and easy (paid off my house before age 40). Think about how much free cash flow you would have with no mortgage.
