Passion. What a word to describe the search for financial independence. The amount of passion you have determines how quickly you will get there and in what shape!

Let me explain: Passion is a measure of how exuberant you are in pursuing your goal. The ideal passion would be a raucous, joyful exposition of what is wanted and then a happy assault on the obstacles which are evident with no thought of it not eventuating. Passion degrades to the degree one becomes less certain of one's eventual victory.

That is my view of it!
