Learn/Earn/Live/Give

My profile describes a concept I read in Michael LeBoeufs book "The Millionaire in You" that we all spend our time in four basic buckets - Learning, Earning, Living and Giving.  LeBoeuf's Law is "Invest your time actively and your money passively." We should manage this time like a portfolio of investments.   This "time allocation" caused me to create a picture of where I have spent time over my 50+ years.

I presented this in a powerpoint presentation to my Vistage group.  I have created a specific Powerpoint Audio Visual slide show titled - Learning Earning Living and Giving:

Here is a view of how my time was allocated in my first five decades.  

Top Left Quadrant -  LEARNING

Top Right Quadrant  - EARNING

Bottom Left Quadrant - LIVING

Bottom Right Quadrant - GIVING

                                                                             

Age 0 - 19  LIVING/LEARNING (just eating; pooping; playing; school;)

Age 20-29  LEARNING/LIVING (College; Summer Job; First Job)

Age 30-39  EARNING/LEARNING (Career on the job training; family/life learning)

Age 41-49  EARNING/LIVING (Salary Promotions; Life lessons; Weekend living)

Age 51-59  LIVING/GIVING (Second Half Career; Volunteering; Empty Nester)

Age 60-61   Hopefully GIVING/LIVING but to be determined

Still working on the proper allocation of time for Return on Life :)
