Security vs Freedom.. It's a Choice

Security vs. Freedom...It's a Choice
by Robert Kiyosaki

Most of us would like to believe we can have both security and freedom. But in Rich Dad terms, these are two opposing values. My rich dad said"Freedom and Security are not the same ideas. In fact, in many ways, freedom and security are exact opposites. the people whao have the most security are the people in prison. Prisoners have the least freedom and the highest security. "People in prison do need to provide housing, food, recreation, heath care, or education for themselves. They have a lot of security but at the price of freedom."

One advantage of living in a free society is the freedom to make choices. There are two big choices according to my rich dad: the choice of freedom and the choice of security. Both choices have apeal, both have strenghts and weaknesses, and both come with a price. If you choose freedom, the price is paid up front, at the beginning of your life. If you choose security, you pay a huge price in the form of excess taxes and interest payments. Often the price is paid later in life.

Freedom means having more choices, not security. You have a choice to be poor, middle class, or rich. If you choose to be rich, then you need to learn a whole new game. But it requires a differant mindset and financial intelligence. You will be free to work or not work. Your knowledge will bring you freedom from work because you will learn how to make your money work for you. The choice is yours.
