PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL FREEDOM
#9
But can it be fun?
Of course it can! Some people feel they must spend money to have fun. That’s simply not true. Many of the things we enjoy most— laughter, relationships, peace of mind—are FREE! Here’s just a sample of ways to have fun with little or no money.
Fun for Free!
Check the ones you enjoy or want to try, and add new ones of your own:
Play cards or board games Read with a child
Visit family or friends Enjoy a sunrise or sunset Play any sport
Learn a new language
Get books or movies at the Library Write a letter
Jog with a buddy
Visit an art gallery or museum Have a pillow fight
Volunteer in your community
Go on a hike
Fly a kite
Enjoy breakfast in bed Walk your dog
Watch a little league game Have a stargazing party Make a snowman
Give a massage
Draw a picture
Tube down a river
Climb a tree
Picnic in the park
Living on less than you earn is the first principle of financial freedom.
2 Put the Power of Interest to Work for You.
When you borrow money, you repay the loan with interest. It’s the same when you use your credit card. Since you pay interest, you always pay back more than you borrow.
“Interest never sleeps nor sickens nor dies: it works on Sundays and Holidays. It never takes a vacation. Once you are in debt, interest is your companion every minute of every day and night. You cannot shun it or slip away from it. . . And whenever you get in its way or cross its demands, it crushes you.”
~ANONYMOUS
Will YOU or the bank earn interest on your money? Are you paying interest or earning it? Money in a savings account or invested carefully, will earn you interest. Your money works for you—you earn more than your
original investment. That’s putting the power of interest to work for you.
