Contemporary, one of the biggest delusion is the persistent pursuit of the so-called "financial freedom." It would be wrong, an attempt in an ever-changing world, the pursuit of a stable saw head. In the 1980s, because we do business at home earlier, coupled with good luck, so when we have a 50,000 home savings. In that time, the average annual salary of state workers until early 1000. In other words, the equivalent of 50,000 dollars a state workers 50 years of net income. And, that time, workers are absolute "first-class citizens," to have such a job, do not know how people envy. So at that time, to have 50,000. People's optimism about the future, just as today people mention "financial freedom" feeling almost. But the reality is, all these years later, our family did not make a big mistake, did not suffer any major disaster. The early years of the 50000, that is not clear how early it is spent. Up to now, our family is still just an ordinary family. Compared to the original, but from today the so-called "financial freedom" farther and farther. Today, when people talk about "financial freedom" is no longer entangled in the number of savings, but introduced the concept of a more bluffing - "passive income." It seems as long as a moment of passive income (talk about most is the financial and rent) is greater than the cost of living, life is completely safe. Since then you can not work, eat, drink mode is turned up. But this idea, and '80s have 50,000 dollars of people is no different. Are based on static thinking to cope with a changing world. Are essentially forever in pursuit of a hedge of things, but this is obviously impossible. Because, if this world can never really there is a hedge of things, then. So before long, there will be no poor people of the world. So, to make your next generation power struggle, the society will find a way to deprive you want things to go heritage. You save the money, that's enough, since then no longer work. I'm sorry, wait on inflation. You bought a few suites in the big cities, since then rely on rent to live. But no, the real estate tax to ask you afraid. ... However, we should not think too bad society, but we ourselves too naive. If you want to maintain the vitality of the economy, they are bound to find ways to suppress large-scale "rentier" class (including landlords) of the formation of a national policy makers. Otherwise, with the adoption of passive income to achieve financial freedom more and more people, the real people engaged in labor will be less and less. The shift, there will be fewer and fewer workers to "support" More and more financial liberty. Such a society is also how the operation? So, as a person. Tactically, we can certainly save money, to buy a house to prepare for any eventuality. But in terms of ideology, we must understand that these are the end of the road, the logic does not work. The essence of life is change, stability is always temporary, ordinary people can do nothing but Mo: reduced expectation of life, and the life of compromise. Keep sensitive, constantly hone his survival skills, like polished as his sword. Do not let it rust stability, making it impossible to use when unstable.

My reflection: love and life is not a state, nor a static point of perfection and stability point of it? Is not it also time dynamic thinking it ready?
