Introduction

Good providers always say that "I will give my family the best life I can."

And our means to make it real is either to work hard, work harder, and work even harder.

I am not saying working hard is not good.

In fact there is this quote i have read just recently that I personally interpret as "Work harder now or work even harder, so that you do not have to work hard in the future it not work at all."

That quote is:

Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can accomplish what others can't.

-Jerry Rice, Football Player

But for how long should we work hard?

Sadly, most of the people I know refuse to retire to be able to support their grand kids' tuition fees, medical bills, and even everyday expenses.

The cycle continues: work hard, work harder, and work even harder.

I want to break that cycle! Power of positive thinking asks you to say: "I will break that cycle!"

I have been able to work overseas for more than a couple of years and was able to save a few Riyals.

But still i have a few regrets. I wish I could redo my overseas life with the knowledge I now have.

If only i could go back in time, surely i will tell my old self:

"You are going to regret buying those things."

Or "You are going to regret letting your money sleep in your bank account."

And of course i will say: "Learn how the stock market works and invest on it."

Can't remember when I finally said to myself this is it  i want to  i need to start putting my money to someplace where it will work for me.

Thank God! I was enlightened financially. Though He did not tell me those things directly in my sleep, He used a lot of people to give me the knowledge and spiritual insights.

Those people are in the form of family, love ones, friends, books, e-books, published reports, blogs or videos and other offline / online reading materials.

You just have to play your part. In the order as listed below:

Ask.

          Read or research.

                    Compare.

                              Learn.

                                       Apply.

                                                 Learn again.

                                                            Learn some more.

                                                                      Apply. And make it a cycle.



Whatever we do, let us not stop acquiring knowledge and put those knowledge into good use.
