You cannot secure your household by working for a living. The only way to secure the future of your household is by using unearned incomes.
If you brag about working hard for a living and proudly boast about paying all your taxes, you are a threat to your own household.
To secure your household you must seek out and secure unearned incomes.
Because unearned incomes are protected both by the state and the people on the whole.
Unearned incomes are the founding economic policy of every nation and are always bailed out first during hard times.
Unearned incomes are just what they say - a stream of income, which you got, without doing any work or investing any savings in getting them.
The biggest class of unearned income comes from real estate - owning property in land.
Land value is untaxed, in the end. Always rises in value at a rate of 5% annually over the long term, and without further inputs of your hard work and savings. Is always bailed out first by governments of all party's.
Land value is the only asset class that possesses these qualities.
If you own a single property and also use it as a home the unearned income is an 'imputed' rental value. You benefit from what you would pay in rent otherwise.
If you own multiple properties you obviously get that, plus de facto rentals.
I'm not saying that owning real estate is right or wrong.
I am saying that it's the only way to secure your household into the distant future. It is guaranteed by the state and the will of the people. No other way has these qualities.
I'm also saying that if you brag about working for a living and paying all your taxes, you are a threat to your own household. And your family and children should disown you quickly.
