Thirteen years ago I finally had enough of working for someone else
Fed up with the commuting, the working environment, office politics, subterfuge, back-biting and conflicting managerial direction decisions.
So I left my well paid job – It felt like a big load had been lifted off my shoulders.
It wasn’t a spur of the moment thing!
I had been paying attention to various authors on planning, wealth building and diversifying, and saving money over the years to precede this event.
I had zero debt, my children had left home and I had payed off my mortgage early many years back.
A decision was made even easier by selling off inherited property to give me a very generous buffer for comfortable, work-free living for many years ahead.
However, government or fiat money has a habit of degenerating due to inflation and Q.E.
Something we have seen escalate since 2020 with huge injections of money by government related finance banks along with job erosion.
My focus moved to maintaining vigilance on making sure my spending power was protected and growing beyond inflation.
I have a great love of gold and have always been accumulating physical gold and silver over the years with surplus money.
It’s not so much an investment, more a store of equivalent wealth that has a value that keeps up with fiat inflation over the years.
In my country gold is free from all taxes. Silver unfortunately is classed as a commercial metal and taxed at 20%.
I have been on the internet in some opportunity or other since 1999 with the mixed success most people find.
But over the past couple of decades, I’ve pretty much seen it all. Bought it all. And tried it all.
From network marketing, to affiliate marketing, direct mail, eCommerce, drop-shipping, Amazon FBA, binary options, HYIPs, CPA marketing, autosurfing, rev-share programs, and waaaay too many other opportunities to count.
Most of ’em were complete duds.
Some were profitable.
And a few have been super profitable.
Now, some of my investments are private circle, but the rest are in the public domain.
However, I continue to keep a quantity of cryptocurrency in private wallets just because it is a convenient way of transfering funds globally for different projects, plus there is an element of value growth.
Moving forward, I am keen on several projects. Some run passively and others need promotional work!
Traffic is a key component to getting results.
