This is why you plan Every. Single Day on firing your customer (employer). Every day I focus on this: - give so much value, that they are afraid of losing you - help other people create more value, that they are afraid of losing you - get slightly underpaid, so they they like they are getting an amazing deal Why? Because: You call the shots. You do what you want. You have a "no fucks given" attitude. They have more to lose than you do if the working relationship ends. Principles: Never have bad debt (credit cards, mortgage without rental income, loans for cars, etc) Have multiple tiny income streams: - couple hundred bucks/month in positive rental cashflow income - a few bucks a month in stock dividends - small website that makes a few bucks a month - the odd freeland gig here and there (nothing wrong with taking a 5k job that takes you a couple of weekends) - drive for uber once in a while to earn a few bucks - find deals on electronics in demand on Craigslist and resell for quick $100 (tax free ) profit. - Make swing trade on cryptocurrency - Do Airdrop signups on crypto tokens and then sell for BTC/BCH/ETH and then cash it out or use the crypto to buy food/stuff online ... the list goes on. Never have a single income stream. Get more, no matter how small it is. Ask yourself this: If your boss pays you, then who is really the head of your household. Who is really the breadwinner?
