#453 The Road to Financial Freedom on Flipping America Radio

Published: Feb. 21, 2021, 4:36 p.m.

For many, financial freedom seems like only a dream. We are trapped in our jobs - an endless cycle of working all day, stretching our paycheck to make ends meet, and hopefully saving a little for a rainy day. Nothing in that picture looks like freedom. Is it possible? Spoiler alert: Yes. and today we will share some of the steps to get there.

How well do you fit society's mold? Get an education. Get a job. Save for retirement. Retire. Then enjoy a little free time before you die. Really? How about something different? Get trained. Start your income streams. Lifelong learning and growing. Enjoy every day until you die. Freedom. Financial freedom. That sounds better doesn't it?

Ramon Tookes joins me in a few minutes to talk about this vision and the steps everyone needs to take if they want to get there. You don't have to inherit it (good thing!), you don't have to be the greatest student or athlete. But with the right information and a big pile of determination, you can do this!

We won’t be getting into the details of Ramon’s early life and background, but I can assure you of this: few people have overcome more obstacles to success than Ramon Tookes. I might throw in one or two cents worth as well. I was not born into money. Far from it. I grew up in a manufactured home. We couldn’t afford Spam so my momma would sometimes buy A&P Square Meat. It was off-brand Spam.
