Philosophy
"I want people to be happy, to have jobs they love and to be
financially independent," said CVAIA Founder Preston Parker.
"Creating an atmosphere where people actually want to go to work may end up making the world a better place."
CVAIA meets every-other Thursday to discuss ways in which to
invest time, assets, and experience building strong foundations of
financial independence. Financial Independence is achieved when passive income regularly exceeds expenses. This is done by focusing on raising passive income and lowering expenses. Once people are financially independent, they are free to spend their time doing things they love, not for money. When people are doing things they love, they are happier and more successful. This is the hope and aim of CVAIA.
"Masters in the art of living draw no sharp distinction between their work and their play, their labor and their leisure, their mind and their body, their education and their recreation. They simply pursue their vision of excellence through whatever they are doing, and leave others to determine whether they are working or playing. To themselves, they always seem to be doing both."
