GO

I like the game of Monopoly, because it is a good basic test of budgeting and investing. You can become rich in that game, but first you must pass the number one square, which is GO. This is just like life because if we don't get off that first square and start moving, we can't play the game and start making money.

The world stands before us. All the money we want is out there waiting for us, but we must GO for it. In life, you don't get what you wish for, you get what you GO for.

Action is the key that sets us free. We must move forwards, in order to claim our share of that lovely money.

I find that my moneyseeking life looks a bit simpler when I look at the similarities with the game of Monopoly. This year, I'm going to play Monopoly for real, like I always do. I'm going to budget, and save, and invest. I've got plans of becoming even richer, but I realize that I won't get anything at all unless I GO for it.
