Let's talk about land OWNERSHIP vs. a MORTGAGE.
Bill Gates now owns 240K acres of land. Whoopty-do.
We own LAND. 20K acres from NC, GA, LA, and TX.
What comes with LAND ownership?
The right to exploitation of resource rights.
Of which, we have lease rights on timber, natural gas, water, and oil.
I sustain my family's lifestyle from those resource rights.
From rentals. to selling of timber, to lease agreements for natural gas, and water.
The domicile we live in is bought and paid for. All we pay is property taxes.
Same said for the rest of the 20K in acreage we own.
WHY?
Because I learned how to convert a debt instrument into value.
Maybe, just maybe, Gates knows the fundamental truth about currency.
I certainly do.
I learned it from three powerful sources.
Modern Money Mechanics.
Creature From Jekyll Island
Map and The Territories.
The take away? IF one has a mortgage....one is broke.
"the debt free lifestyle is the best life to live."- Warren Buffet.
Finally have the wife onboard after 10 years of marriage. Ironically it was the stimulus payments that opened her eyes, and how quickly free money gets spent.
On the path to no debt payments whatsoever by the end of the year.
Stay the course!
Married 25 years in September and my wife has been in sync with me the entire time.
