sil·ver bul·let
noun
a bullet made of silver, used in fiction as a supposedly magical method of killing werewolves.
NORTH AMERICAN
a simple and seemingly magical solution to a complicated problem.
"the Internet, like TQM and Re-engineering, proved to be no silver bullet"
Ah ha! - "a simple and seemingly magical solution to a complicated problem"

Freedom is not FREE!
Most of us in the USA are not free, not from the financial sense and not from the legal sense for some.

- If you "own" a business where you can not afford to close it for more than a day at a time, you are not free financially (your business owns you or you just owned a job - sorry to say) ...
- you are retired and are relying on social (so so) [in]security or other government payments, you are not free financially ...
The above is "you are not free financially IF ..."

But, seriously, most of us are dependent on others, a company or a person, for income. And, until, we really wanted to be independent, we will not be financially free.

So, start thinking and ask yourself!
Write them down, all your thoughts and all your "can't" (hint: they are really "won't").
Keep them and revisit them next year and the next ...
