People who play the game repeatedly often find the possibility of such world to be far more exciting than working hand all their life for a paycheck. If you want to retire to young and a rich as possible, you will need to consider a world without a paycheck. If in your reality, context or mindset, you need a paycheck, the chances of you retiring young and retiring rich are slim.
Rich said, people who need a paycheck are slaves to money. If you want t be set free, you must never a paycheck or a job. So if you are serious about retiring young and rich, you too will need to change your reality to the possibility of a world without a steady paycheck or a job. When I state this context to most people, you can almost feel their blood pressure rise, their chest and stomach tighten and hear their subconscious mind take over their conscious thought. The fear of not having a steady paycheck to cover one’s financial survival is a fear most of us know well. If you have difficulty seeing yourself in a world of not needing a paycheck or a steady job then your first step is to begin asking yourself. How can I get rich without a pack check or steady job? The moment you begin asking yourself that question, you open your mind and begin your journey into another reality.
Rich asked the person applying for the job, if you are so well educated and so experienced why do you need a job? If you are so smart, why do you need a paycheck? He was asking him to stretch his reality and see another reality. Instead, the applicant argued and defended his reality, thinking his reality was the only reality. I have seen rich ask that question of other applicants. It was his way of actually trying to help the applicant. I was his way of trying to reach the applicant a very important and basic financial lesson, the lesson that money will not make you rich that a high paying job alone will not solve your financial needs.
Rich asked anyone that question, he was trying to have that person understand that academic success does not necessarily equate of financial success. As rich often said, a high academic IQ does not necessarily mean you have a high financial IQ. During talking with the person who was so proud of his academic achievements, rich was really doing his best to find out if the person was interested in learning how to increase his financial IQ. Studied with rich as they worked for him become very wealthy, retied early and went on to live lives of financial freedom, even though they were not paid the high salaries they initially wanted. The point is tis, if you want to retire young and retire rich financial IQ is more important than academic IQ.
