The Go to Hell Fund
Years ago, an elderly gentleman friend of mine gave me a piece of advice. He said
that true personal freedom comes from having the resources that create the ability
to tell someone to ‘go to hell’ metaphorically. He said that everyone regardless
of race, gender, or income level should have a nest egg stashed away with at least

How many of us have found ourselves in jobs we hate because we can’t afford to quit?
We have unethical employers wanting us to cheat the customers, we are unappreciated
for our long hours and efforts, or we are simply underpaid compared to the industry
standards. Often, because we are in a hurry to find something else, we simply take
the next decent looking job that comes along instead of really analyzing what we
want to do with our career and in what direction we’d like to go next. It’s all
too common that people will Ping-
How many women have stayed in bad relationships because they couldn’t afford the moving costs needed to relocate? Most women in domestic violence situations are unable to leave because of financial challenges. A secret Go to Hell Fund makes it possible for these women to escape a bad marriage and to start over somewhere else.
How many of us have found ourselves unexpectedly unemployed because the company we were working for downsized to stay afloat during the recent economic hard times, were laid off due to corporate restructuring, or the boss had to close the doors and file bankruptcy?

It has to be held sacred. This is not your Rainy Day Shopping Fund, your College Fund, your Emergency Car Repairs Fund, your Retirement Fund, or your Ultimate Dream Vacation Fund. One of the biggest mistakes people make is to have one savings account for all of these various needs. They are all unique and different and each one should honestly have it’s own account with it’s own rules about when you can and cannot withdraw the monies out of them. Yes, it is very difficult to set up all of these different accounts and to monitor each one, but they all have their special place in creating a life of abundance and prosperity. So many of us live to the limit of our paychecks without giving consideration to how we can create all of these safety nets and personal reward systems. Rent a smaller apartment, buy a more economical car, shop at thrift stores, barter and trade for goods and services as often as possible so that you won’t need to use all of your paycheck just to get by.
It’s no easy feat to create the fund, but few things will give you more personal
satisfaction and more personal sense of well-
