Why Even Consider a Home-Based Business?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that out of 100 people that start working at the age of 25, by the age of 65...

1 is wealthy

4 have enough money to retire

63 depend on Social Security or charity

29 are deceased

What's shocking about these statistics is ...95% of people, age 65 and over cannot afford to retire ...many will be forced to work until they die!! What Happened to Safety and Security? That's why many of us no longer put our trust and faith in "Big Business."
