I Hate My Job By Camron


I Hate My Job by the rapper Cam'ron is the only song that I Know that vividly paints a picture of what is it like to work in our modern day society. In detail he describes what it is like to wake up everyday just to be stuck in traffic for small wages. He also describes the office environment such as annoying co workers and incompetent bosses. I also can relate to how it feels to get your check after so much work and feel as if you never get compensated enough. This song is really helpful and stands out amongst the vast amount of materialistic songs that currently flood our TV's and airwaves. During an interview Cam'ron mentioned that he wrote this song from the perspective of his girlfriend who lives this life everyday. He also mentioned that it's ironic how so many people in this recession are desperately searching for employment while those with jobs desperately want to quit theirs.LOL. I highly recommend listening to I Hate My Job by Cam'ron from his album Crime Pays.

Rich Dad Poor Dad By Robert Kiyosaki


This book is the most important financial book that I ever read! Robert Kiyosaki has allow me to open up my mind and help me realize that I live in the rat race. This book is the reason why I have chosen to follow the path to financial freedom. I now know that if I choose to have a fulfilling life I will have to think outside of the box and accomplish more then just getting a college degree. College in my opinion teaches you how to work for other people. It does not teach you how to make money. Despite what some people might say, I believe that money is extremely important when you live in a capitalist society such as America. I have learned that there are 3 types of education that you can learned. Unfortunately school only provides 2 types. Those 3 types of education include academic (reading,writing, math, etc), professional (how to go work for somebody) and financial (how to make money). School does not teach us financial education which I believe is needed to pay off school loans among other things. Robert Kiyosaki helps me to analyze finances alot differently then people who have not educated there selves on how to become wealthy. Things such as owning a home. Most people believe that their home is an asset. He believes that it's quite the opposite. If it is an asset to you then what does the bank who you pay every month consider it in their books? A liability? Stop paying your mortgage for a few months and see how much of an asset it is then.LOL. Remember, "Asset feeds you while liabilities eat you". I highly recommend this book for those who are stuck in the rat race and need guidance ASAP.
