    Default Not keeping up with the Jones'....

    Hello to all who read my introduction! I am almost finished with the book and think it wonderful. My name is Crystal Jones and I am not keeping up with the Jones' by no means. I am a ready to give out slow-laner who keeps plugging away at school and adding more education and never realized what I was doing until I given a pair of reality goggles and as the blind said.."Now I can see!" As I type I have a paper due friday in a grad cert program to add to my grad degree to sit in a freezing cubicle and wipe the frost off those puppies and wish and want a job closer to home making decent money....Let me grab my reality goggles again...the only one to make the change is me and I want to be in the fast lane...rephrase I am going to be in the fast lane. I did the right thing...a little late in my thirties before I went to college and here I am in my early fourties still going, bought the house, raised a child all while single...let me pat myself on the back....heck no! No pat deserved because I am stuck in the slow lane looking at others with their lime green camaros...yes that is my lamborghini. I don't want goodies I want freedom...does that make sense? Freedom to make choices that you don't get when you are under the thumb of a boss and let me tell you education can be so depressing.
    So after many many books I have read and notebooks filled with ideas I am ready to take the steering wheel and work like crazy for my dream not someone elses.
    So thank you for reading and I will be reading all I can here!

    It does around here. Most "goodies" are destructive to freedom because most people can't truly afford them.

    Yes it does! I am also in my early 40s and have that "been there done that" feeling towards "stuff". For me, it is all about freedom now.

    Welcome!

    Thank you both for the welcome! I was thinking about freedoms after I wrote this and I think I am equating freedom with being able to dig my feet in the sand on a Wednesday afternoon without feeling guilty or taking a vacation day. That would be wonderful.
    Anyway thank you both again and it was a pleasure.
