Urbanomics Pillars - The Path Set For Stability and Financial Freedom

I have not written much lately because my focus continues to on working thoroughly on the Pillars I have written about so much over time. A quick recap of those principles that are grounded in the following Pillars:

Spiritual - a belief in something (for me that is God), love for your family, and a willingness to treat others with the respect and the equality they deserve

Financial - a belief that financial independence on your terms will give you a freedom from the shackles of debt, the privilege to work on your own terms and a future legacy to pass down to the generations of your family.

Mental (Education) - a belief in the importance education and the sharing of various human experiences to allow you to grow

Physical - a belief in the importance of enhancing your physical health to support a sound mind, body, and soul

I hope you find these simple pillars interesting but you can't stand tall with just one, while the rest languish.  Here is a quick example of why just having lots of money can't get you Financial Freedom. We all pick on star athletes and how much money they make. But they are also given a blessing at such a young age. Without the proper nurturing, it's easy to see how a mult-million dollar star can go broke fairly quickly. Forgetting about taxes, living for today but not for tomorrow, and making bad investments usually seem to be a common theme. Listen to this story and remember money is just relative, someone will ALWAYS have more of it than you will. But if you use it to free yourself or UNPLUG from what everyone always tells you that you should have or that you need...you'll find yourself the richest person in the world.
