Declare Financial Independence
Take Control of Your Finances
Declare your financial independence this July 4th! This next Monday marks the birthday of our nation and the historic signing of the Declaration of Independence.
What does independence day mean to you? For most of our clients, financial independence means, “spending quality time with family and friends, and having a comfortable lifestyle with predictable, lifetime income.” If this sounds like the way you’d like to celebrate your independence, then keep reading.
Starting Friday, many will take time off from work and begin the festivities with vacations, BBQ’s and reveling. As our independence is celebrated across the nation on the Fourth of July, many of us will attend parties and picnics, joining in fellowship with the ones we love. As we spend time with friends and loved ones, it’s important to reflect on how we got to where we are today.
Our country has grown from a fledgling colony of farmers and shipbuilders, struggling under the tyranny of the British monarchy, into one of the wealthiest and arguably the most powerful sovereign country in the world today.
On December 16th, 1773, people just like you and me, “radicals” from Boston, Massachusetts, formed the Sons of Liberty. They boarded three East India Company ships in Boston Harbor and threw 342 chests of tea into the water. This event was in protest of oppressive British taxation and tyrannical rule. It became known as the Boston Tea Party and paved the way towards our country’s independence.
Today we are faced with similar circumstances. If we do nothing and do not learn from history, we are destined to repeat the same failures over again. During this election year we must make an effort to research and learn history or we will be powerless as our great country succombs to the power of government and tyrannical rule.
In the spirit of our country’s independence, it’s time for us as Americans to take control of our finances and declare our financial independence! Money creates power, and unfortunately, this power in the wrong hands can destroy our nation.
Our Federal Government has proven to be a poor steward of our money. Obviously the politicians are not concerned about our country’s mushrooming debt, and given their poor track record with financial responsibility, we must take responsibility for our own financial well being.
Just as Founding Fathers broke free from the establishment when creating our Declaration of Independence, we must break free from these chains of bondage. What we need is a system for finance based on self-reliance and independence. You can start your own financial revolution by taking control of your finances.
What can you do? I hear this question every day. The good news is that there is something you can do. You need to do the OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE GOVERNMENT IS DOING.
Here’s my short list of what you can do now:
1. Take control of your finances by staying liquid.
2. Curb your spending and save the difference into a separate account.
3. Spread your accounts around if you keep large amounts of liquid cash.
4. Look for a secure location to store your wealth, consider the solvency of the financial institution, do your research.

Take Control of Your Finances by Escaping the “System”
When you look at our current system for saving and accumulating wealth, it is weighted heavily in favor of the financial institutions and big banks. Our educational system, our accounting system and the financial advisors, are all dependent on the government and these same financial institutions. We have been held captive.
Today our liberty is being threatened because of the power of government. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and The Federal Reserve (Fed), ironically created the same year (1913), are seizing land, assets and devaluing our dollar. Your money is being confiscated to fund illegal operations and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
It saddens me to have to tell you these things – I apologize for being straightforward… But my mission is to spread the gospel… about God’s love and about your money… to reveal the facts and the truth.
The United States became what we are because of faith, family and free enterprise. A hundred years ago we were free people, with less government regulation and taxes than the rest of the world. We owned land, produced our own goods, and we believed in Christ, family and our constitution.
God warned us in the Bible of the dangers of government and greed:
“While they promise them LIBERTY, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.” 2PE 2:19
“For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person PERISH, and leave their wealth to others.” PS 49:10
Our founding fathers also warned us:
“I am sure there never was a people, who had more reason to acknowledge a divine interposition in their affairs, than those of the United States; and I should be pained to believe that they have forgotten that agency, which was so often manifested during our Revolution, or that they failed to consider the omnipotence of that God who is alone able to protect them.” ~George Washington
“A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned – this is the sum of good government.” ~Thomas Jefferson
As a United States Citizen you should be outraged at what is happening to your country. Right before our eyes, history is being rewritten and our freedoms are being stolen from us by amendments to our beloved constitution. Hardly a day goes by when Congress is not adding, deleting or changing this cherished model for our independence.
People are nervous, and rightly so. We have been told that Uncle Sam will take care of us at retirement with Social Security and Medicare, these systems are past broken. Our markets are in turmoil and volatility is at an all time high. Blame is being thrown around and another bailout is on the horizon.
We have to take control of our finances and protect them from the government and financial institutions. Both depend on the Fed for money printing and they are out of control. Money creation is inflation, and at some point we will all pay the price. Most of our economic problems can be traced directly to The Federal Reserve.
“The Federal Reserve is the chief culprit behind the economic crisis. Its unchecked power to create unlimited amounts of money out of thin air brought us the boom and bust cycle and caused one financial bubble after another. Since the Fed’s creation in 1913 the dollar has lost more than 96% of its value, and by recklessly inflating the money supply the Fed continues to distort interest rates and intentionally erode the value of the dollar.” ~Ron Paul http://www.ronpaul.com
Once we break free of our dependence on the banks and fractional reserve lending, we can enjoy the freedom that liberty provides. As you start to accumulate wealth and educate yourself on how your money is flowing, you will want to ask yourself some questions, and understand who is really in control of your account.
5 questions to ask yourself when saving your hard earned money:
1. Is my principle guaranteed?
2. Are my funds liquid?
3. Are my funds creditor protected?
4. Are there any tax benefits?
5. Will I earn a competitive return?
