Let’s say we build a time machine and set the dial for about ten years in the future.
In this mind experiment, we spot two people–one rich and one poor. We decide to talk to them.
Besides telling us about their families and letting us in on tidbits about the future, the rich gal tells us why she’s rich and the poor guy laments the reasons for his modest state.
It turns out that the rich person is an owner, a creator, a collaborator, and a value creator; her low-earning friend is an employee, a laborer, a soloist and a wage earner.
We decide to ask why. The reasons, it turns out, are technology and attitudes.

Things aren’t the same. And things will never be the same.
If anyone noticed how a default in Dubai can cause the yen to crash and the dollar to fall and lead to a international stock market swoon, you can get the idea that the economy is not the slow, deliberative market that it used to be.
It’s fast. As fast as the speed of light, or, at least as fast as CNBC, Fox Business, and the internet can report it.
That can be scary. But it can mean that the future economy will be vibrant and full of opportunities, as well as dangers.
The speed of macro-economic fluctuations also changes our future personal financial picture, a financial picture that will be equally elastic and equally dynamic.
Here are some links to great posts and stories that may influence your future financial freedom.

You think trying to create an advanced technology to create investing strategies that can create high-return, low-risk trades is crazy, right?
Weird?
Impossible?
You need to sit back and check out futurist Dr. James Canton’s top ten weird science trends from his book The Extreme Future.
These trends include:
- Artificial life spawns new electronic beings. (How about an artificial financial analyst?)
- Teleportation. (Beam me up.)
- Nano-biology
- Internet self-awareness
- Quantum computing
- Mirror worlds and an infinite number of universes
- Outer space travel becomes routine
- Immersive realities
- Always-on mobility
- Widespread robot useage
One of the keys to merge with this “new future,” Canton says is to begin to “unthink.” You will need to relearn how you think when you approach the use of these weird technologies. Another consciousness shift will be how your current thought processes will be augmented by technological helpers.
As he says:
In the next evolution of business, where every business is an e-business, software agents and avatars will play an important role. Agents will help us navigate commerce, find information, negotiate deals and even keep us company.
Maybe these technological agents will help you trade stocks and manage to secure your financial freedom?

is one of my favorite financial books of all time. It's an allegory about a guy who has a terrible job, and how he overcomes challenges to achieve his dreams.
