Had a major FTE two summers ago, My old man was killed in a car accident at the age of 49, Sure he worked but he loved it.
He was smart enough to have a lot of income coming in different ways but required a lot of maintenance and he also worked a lot. He had started working towards passive income though but it was too late.
The point is that he left our family with basically nothing except a expensive property that cost thousands to upkeep every month and a ton of junk. This was not fair to my mother, who had essentially her other half taken away from her.
I don't hold it against him and no one expects to pass away at that age, but there was no will, or no back up plan. That led me to realize if I have a family, or anyone that relies on me, to make sure that never happens to them.
This led me to having options open and focus way more on school (I partied and had fun a lot but then really buckled down).
While staying focused on school I realized more and more as I neared my graduation last december that a JOB was not the answer, plus there's a marginally low rate for people like me who ride the short bus to get hired .
My brother then nudged me once more to read TMF , and that was an absolute wake up call.
I had a another FTE just a month ago. A woman I deemed to be lovely and had believed she had my back, and i thought we were going to go the distance, ended things with me for some bullshit reason then a couple days later went against that reason. This led me to really buckle down even more on my goals. During this whole time I just got a knee operation again and now I can also really focus on my health.
They're Speed bumps.
Looking forward to starting on my master's this fall which is not a expedition to get a job, but a means to an end, for me to build my entrepreneur skills and to continue the grind towards the fastlane.
