Financial Independence is Possible
Learn how to make your money work for you
Logan, UTAH -Financial independence is possible through managing your earned and passive income. When your passive income is greater than your monthly expenses, you can achieve financial independence.
The idea behind financial independence is if you learn to manage your money, regardless if it is $25 or $25 million, you can have more opportunities and be happy. The idea was championed by the author Ayn Rand in her novel "Atlas Shrugged" and has continued to be championed by current authors such as Robert Kiyosaki in his book, "Rich Dad Poor Dad." Financial independence divides money into 2 categories: earned income, a paycheck, and passive income, money that you don't think about. Passive income includes real estate, stocks, commodities, etc.
The Cache Valley Area Investors Association(CVAIA) is an organization that strives to educate members and help them achieve financial independence.Preston Parker, president and founder of the CVAIA, decided to start a local chapter of the organization after becoming fed up with people coming to him for financial advice and not listening, or constantly complaining about their jobs. Parker said, "financial independence allows you to not rely on your job for money. There are enough jobs in the United States that everyone could and should love what they do."
The CVAIA began in August 2007 and is open to people of all ages, economic backgrounds and investment knowledge. The organization meets every other Thursday in the Cache Valley Chamber of Commerce at 7 PM. There is no fee to become a member, and the organization can be found online at www.cvaia.com or facebook/cvaia.

Resumes
I feel that in the age of social media, resumes are becoming obsolete. However, the fact is many of today's employers are from the "old school" and they are comfortable with papers and forms. I think even though resumes are not the future of job interviews, people entering into the work force should be aware and capable of producing a professional and attention-grabbing resume.
In the article "How to Avoid Common Resume Mistakes," the first point is to focus on accomplishments rather than responsibilities. The idea that "anyone can do their job, but only a small percentage of the population can do their job well, wherever they go," is very true in today's workforce. In an ever-increasing competitive work environment, applicants need to distinguish themselves from the majority by showing areas in which they've excelled at previous jobs.
I also think that positioning your resume as a marketing document rather than a "get to know you" history is an excellent point. Although once in a job, employers want their employees to be individual and creative, during an interview employers are looking for professional and capable candidates. Applicants need to prove their ability to effectively communicate in speech and print.
