Do you ever stop to consider that so long as you woik tor
money by the day or month your income stops every time you dj?
If you take a day off your income stops and waits until you go to
work again. Suppose you invest a little money in a piece of real
estate, does it stop increasing in value while you sleep or take a
day off? NOT MUCH, it goes right on increasing every minute of
the twenty-four hours and every day of the year. Thinx this mat
