Freedom in the making

As I review my earnings here on Cubfinance and continue to scale up my earnings by moving my crypto here... slowly scaling up my operations here to earn more Cub, I am quietly celebrating.

There is a small party going on inside me, with cake, ice cream, streamers and confetti...

It may seem strange, but I have been looking for something different for 3 years and this may be it.

I have a good paying job, house and kids, plus a car that works. And I enjoy good health.

Certainly many would say I am blessed, but I am thirsty for more.

I want independence from the forces which control me, my time, my work, my money and essentially my life...

The Trap...

I once met a man who said
-Don’t take a job it’s a trap -Dint take a paycheck it’s a trap -Don’t open a bank account it’s a trap -Don’t take out a loan it’s a trap -Don’t buy a house with a mortgage it’s a trap

I thought he was insane or mentally unstable

It turns out that in a metaphorical sense he was correct, and in a virtual sense he was correct..

I have a job, a paycheck, a mortgage, etc.. and I now realize that taking a job means I will never have control over the method by which I provide goods and services.

However... I have a job. Which symbolizes my dependence on my employer and relinquishment of control to my employer over where I work, when I work, how I work and how much my services are worth.

I will never control the flow of money paid to my employer for the hoods and services I produce and provide. I will always be at the mercy of my employer to work, earn a living and get paid. Every so often my employer flex’s their muscle to remind me they are in charge, and they can control me.

I have a paycheck, which symbolizes my portion or share of the money paid for the hoods and services I produce. And I have little control over the determination of my how much my share is and how much hoes to those who produce no goods and provide no services.

I have a bank account, which my employer sends my money to, and a bank which controls my funds. I feel like a child not having my money come directly to me. It would be preferable to receive my funds directly, but that’s not how this system works.

Hope

But I gave hope in decentralization, smart contracts and trust less solutions. I have faith in the code.

I study Cryptocurrency to learn how to control my money, transfer, receive, wrap, unwrap, deposit, stake, earn, yields, etc...

All mean money, and money means independence

I have been investing my money and perhaps in 5 years I will have enough capitol to start freeing myself from my traps...one by one...

I will control the goods and services I produce, I will control my money, I will control my time, and once again I will control my life.

I will have freedom from a job I will have freedom from a paycheck I will have freedom from my employer I will have freedom from my bank

And I will be free.
