Hi all,
I must admit that I was a lurker on this site for a few months. However, I'd like to put myself out there and start to network with all the positive, success minded people that I've had the pleasure of reading about on this site. A little about me:
I'm 36 years old and still stuck in the slow lane. I'll admit it. I did all the things I was supposed to do. I went to college, even got my MBA in 2000. I've been working in an industry that is ok, but I have grown to despise the work that I do. I'm only doing what I'm doing because I took the first job offered to me out of business school and have been in the same industry ever since, merely out of convenience. I make a decent salary and I'm thankful for my health and for having a job.
However, for the past 5 years I've gotten in touch with myself and realize that, even though I make a decent salary, I sure as hell am not getting rich. After all the bills, I'm saving about 10% every year, and I just started saving so believe me I ain't got much. One thing I did do well though was to start investing in gold and silver two years ago. Most of my wealth is tied into those assets. But it's only about $10,000 worth, a relatively small amount.
I have no idea how I'm going to get into the fastlane, so I've joined this site to find out. I'm actually very interested in pursuing real estate. I've been interested in it for the past few years and was planning to head back to school to get a masters in R/E. I would like to learn all I can about R/E investing and developing. I'll probably end up working for someone else after school but would like to strike out on my own. I know that I want to work for myself, but don't know what to do. I'm hoping through my networking with everyone here I'll be able to learn alot and then be in a better position to pursue the fastlane.
I welcome any and all suggestions. I look forward to corresponding with everyone and hopefully to meet some of you.
Thank you and keep in touch,
Joe
