Land of Free, Home of Slave

Debt slave, greed slave, fear slave, lust slave, heroin slave…fill in the blank slave.

As we wind down the remainder of 2017, I encourage you to reflect on the last 12 months with perspective of the big picture.

It’s been an incredible year for the investment world.  And, depending on your level of participation, the rewards have been considerable.

However, if all you focus on are the financial gains, you might find yourself in one of the above-named slave categories.

This email not meant to condemn anyone.

It’s more of a reminder that the principles that our great nation was founded and built upon are being overshadowed by a darker influence.

Daily distractions about what’s truly important to our livelihood and complacency about the “status quo” have dumbed down the majority of the population.

And if we don’t wake up and address it, the price to fix our problems becomes more painful.

It’s not just about debt.  Or being a debt slave.

However, debt has two final results:

• It’s either paid in full (or)

• It’s defaulted on

Period.

Historically all governments default on their debt.  That’s when the pain gets worse for “we the people.”

So, what can you do about it?

First, accept the fact that we’ve been on a slippery slope for the last few decades regarding our debt (both personal and as a nation).

Second, make 2018 the year to take action to protect yourself and your families from economic problems that appear on the horizon.  (i.e. the Crash and Burn of our financial system)

The good news is, those who prepare benefit the most.

That’s why we, at Financial$Matter, are in business…to help you navigate the minefields of the investment world.
