I have been asked why I buy apartment in Cyberjaya. I am one of those who find employment to be limiting and unfulfilled. Some people need to take employment out of necessity, just so they can pay those dreaded bills that await them at the end of each month. They can’t wait for the moment when they can call it a day and have a luxury of time and money to do things that they have always wanted to do. I would prefer sitting by the beach, sipping cold fruit juice and listening to the soothing sound of waves rather than being rattled by the incessant ringing of the office phone.

The main reason I invest in Cyberjaya apartment is for financial freedom. I like the idea of having passive income. I like to idea of getting paid while I am sleeping. Property investment gives me that option. As an alternative to that, my internet business also gives me that option. You can call it anyhow you want. “Exit to Financial Freedom”, “One Way Ticket to Life Free and Easy” or whatever. It is that point when you have gathered enough wealth to say that you choose to work because you like to or want to, not because you have to. That is true freedom. That is why I am always in the lookout for passive income business venture.
