Everyone secretly desires to be the ‘Rich and Famous’, whether it is on
the local, national or worldwide scene. We spend our lives chasing this
desire. We strive to live in a spacious home in an affluent
neighborhood decorated by a professional interior designer. We enroll
our children in prestigious private or public schools to acquaint
ourselves with the finer things in life. We join social clubs to have
access to the mover and shakers in the world. We adorn our bodies with
the best jewelry, clothes and accessories that money can buy clubs
outfitted in designer clothes We, even, jetset amongst the wealthy at
exotic locations around the world.
Yet we miss the basic concept that makes the ‘Rich and Famous’ who they
are. They are the rich and famous as these individuals live a life
where they consciously map out their life’s purpose and direction. They
set out to achieve that purpose within a profitable career whether it
is in sports, showbiz, business or medicine. Consequently, they have
large investment and bank accounts. Their accumulation of assets—cash
and real estate— allows them to live a care free life of peace and
harmony. They are able to accumulate these assets as they do not pay
full price for their designer products, whether it is cars, clothes,
houses or jewelry. They seek near wholesale price for every luxurious
purchase they make. They buy STRATEGICALLY. We do not as we pay full
retail price for these same status symbols to be considered the ‘Rich
and Famous.’ Since our real desire is to escape depression, stress and
anxiety by living a carefree life like the ‘Rich and Famous’ we should
seek to BUY STRATEGICALLY.
