WHAT IF LIFE WASN'T ABOUT DECADES OF WAGE-SLAVERY, PAYING BILLS, AND THEN DYING?
Today’s contemporary slavery is an implied social contract whereas a gilded cage is exchanged for voluntary indebtedness and lifelong toil, a price sacrificed by a non-redeemable fifty-years of Monday through Friday, a willful servitude in which freedom is only promised by the dawn of life's fading twilight.”
~ MJ DeMarco

HAS AN INVISIBLE SCRIPT HIJACKED YOUR LIFE?
UNLOCK YOUR TRUTH.  UNLEASH YOUR DREAM.
Tired of sleepwalking through a mediocre life bribed by mindless video-gaming, redemptive weekends, and a scant paycheck from a soul-suffocating job?  Welcome to the SCRIPTED club— where membership is neither perceived or consented.
The fact is, ever since you’ve been old enough to sit obediently in a classroom, you have been culturally engineered for servitude, unwittingly enslaved into a Machiavellian system where illusionary rules go unchallenged, sanctified traditions go unquestioned, and lifelong dreams go unfulfilled. As a result, your life is hijacked and marginalised into debt, despair, and dependence. Life's death sentence becomes the daily curse of the trivial and mundane. Fun fades. Dreams die. Don't let life's consolation prize become a car and a weekend.
Recapture what is yours and make a revolutionary repossession of life-and-liberty through the pursuit of entrepreneurship. A paradigm shift isn't needed—the damn paradigm needs to be thrown-out altogether.
The truth is, if you blindly follow conventional wisdom pushed by conventional people living conventional lives, can you expect to be anything but conventional? Rewrite life’s script: ditch the job, give Wall Street the bird, and escape the insanity of trading your life away for a paycheck and an elderly promise called retirement.
UNSCRIPT today and start leading life— instead of life leading you.

Quotes

  • Christophe Andrehas quoted3 years ago
    -Estate Investment Trusts (REITS)

    Must not be a new offering; preferably three years or more trading history
    Dividends must be stable or rising.
    Funds From Operations (FFO) must be stable or rising. If this metric is not easily obtainable, use Net Margin.
    Daily trading volume of at least one million shares
    Prefer REITs with physical assets over paper (notes), which can be more volatile and subject to asset price declines.
    Dividend yield should not exceed five times S&P 500 dividend.

    Notice that none of these is a tiny, unknown company small enough to be shielded from public scrutiny. Each of these entities is large enough where a failure (or a large-scale fraud) in any of them would inject systemic risk into the world banking system. In other words, if Vanguard’s umbrella of shareholder-owned companies fails, I know we’re looking at a worldwide failure in the banking system and, perhaps, an event so large that the world will never be the same.

    When you trust your entire nest egg to Donald Lapre at a boutique firm working out of a 1,200-square-foot office in Hoboken, you aren’t afforded such protection. I invest in peer-to-peer lending, but the apocalypse rule keeps my investment under six figures because the concept is too new and too untested. A fraud or failure in these companies might be worth thirty seconds on CNBC’s Squawk Box, but for the wronged investor, the impact could last thirty years
