- I AM financially independent (4 people/7%)
- It is the main goal that I am working towards (29 people/56%)
- It's a nice dream but very far off (13 people/25%)
- There's no way I will ever be financially independent (5 people/9%)
I am happy to see that more than half of the respondents are either financially independent or heading in that direction. There is no better way to be prepared than to have the yoke of financial debt lifted off of your shoulders. If you need some inspiration, check out Dave Ramsey (either his website at www.daveramsey.com his show on Fox Business, or on the radio).
Be sure to take our new poll. With so much TV time spent of the gun issue lately, this seemed like a timely poll.
Unless you know the story behind the numbers, they are only numbers. I used to be closer to self-sufficient than the vast majority of people will ever be. I sold the farm in 2005...

I have a long list of chronic ailments including myasthenia gravis and lupus. I've had 4 strokes. I do not think I will be "worth much" in the working for $$ department any longer.
Sooooo.....it's not that I'm not trying or oblivious to the need, I just can't.
