Making Money From Investments Through The Kampung Way - Kampung Investor Dot Com

Came across Financial Rich blog on his blog post titled The Rat Race. The blog title really interest me and without much hesitation spend some time reading on it.

After reading his explanation on the rat race i couldn’t really understand what the main point of the post. Of course i seek some explanation from Financial Rich and now i truly understand what does the rat race means already.

I am pretty sure most of you have seen a rat running on a round track in a pet shop. The rat will start slow and gradually gets faster and then slower down till it runs out on energy.

If you really think deeper, the rat is still on the same point after running from slow to fast then slow till it stops.

So what did the rat tried to tell us? If we are an employee and have to work for money, we will always be at the same point no matter how slow or fast we run. When we just get our first job, our expenses is not big (The rat is warming up and running slowly).

Gradually as we grow older, we will want bigger houses and cars. To get those, we need to work harder as the expenses are growing. (The rat is running fast).

When we retire, we have not much strength and energy to work anymore. (The rat is gradually running slower and slower).

If you really realize, we haven’t really improve ourselves if we work for people as we will be still at the same point from where we started without realizing it. We huff and puff in the end we are still at the starting point!

So what we should do is get out of the rat race. To run out of the track, one have to be financially free. It is not easy if you want to reach financial freedom. By working a daily 9 to 5 job is not the answer.

This concept according to Financial Rich, he got it from Robert T.Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad and Poor Dad. I have heard of him before but hadn’t got the time to read his books yet.

Anyway are you still on the rat race like most of us? I will be hoping to jump out from that race soon. Wish me luck. I can do it so can you!
