Set for Life
How would it feel to be set for life? Your financial independence makes all the difference in your personal freedom, and ultimately, your political freedom. Americans are sold into a credit lifestyle of working–not to afford what we want or need, but to afford the payments on what we want or need.

Fall into this trap and then try and fight the system…when will you have time? Shaking this mindset and reclaiming my time has been the best thing I’ve ever done. These resources will help you do the same.
