    That's it I'm moving out

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Thank you for saying this!!! I get so sick of this 'owe family' mentality, especially when it comes to mothers. People think you owe your mother the world because she gave birth to you, always forgetting you didn't ask to be born, especially to $hitty parents (if you have those). I'm not...

    Standing Still As Life Passes By

    HOT! 
    This is me all the way. I have never held a job beyond 1-2 years. My last job was the only job that came close. It ended a few days before my 3rd year anniversary. My current job will only last a year. I can't do any more than that. And like you I don't know why I burn out so quickly with a...

    Ouch...I'm a sidewalker

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum! Does your freelance work allow you to work anywhere? If so, why not move somewhere where $60k can go a little further? Short term sacrifices can lead to long term success.

    Move out of parents house (comfort zone)

    Move. I moved to Japan this July and I'm so far out my comfort zone that I already have a countdown calendar going for when my contract is up and I can return to the states. But you know what? I recently got an idea that feels promising. I did a test product a few days ago and although it was...

    Who's dream are you building?

    I love how many of the commenters on NYT are vowing to never shop again at Amazon. Did it never occur to them that no one is forcing these people to work in such a terrible environment? If these people want to risk their mental and physical health processing orders and making Bezos rich than so...

    "I don't know where to start" - Why don't you take action?

    My doubts: "My idea is stupid" "I'll never learn enough coding to get my idea done" "There's nobody out there who looks like me doing this. No one will ever take me seriously"

    My sentiments exactly! Good job, Luniac!! I'll look for it on the iOS store.

    Disagree with some of the book

    No offense to you, but why make such a big deal (thread) over such a minor disagreement? If you don't agree with that portion of the book, then that's cool. I can't think of a single business type book I agree with 100%, but my disagreement is not going to change the reality of the author. And...

    Sometimes I’m afraid to be rich

    I would never flaunt any wealth I may gain. I don't share what I earn at my day job, live well below my means, and aside from another relative who has the Fast Lane mindset (I actually persuaded her to buy MJ's book) I never talk about the business I'm working on. But the hang up is that...

    Im looking to learn how to develop a website

    codecademy.com helped me get started with html/css. It's a free interactive tutorial site that gets you started on the basics of coding. I also have a visual friendly book that is great for walking through the basics of html & css called "HTML & CSS, Design and Build Websites" by Jon Duckett.

    Sometimes I’m afraid to be rich

    I agree with this. When I lived away from home, the only time my mother called me was when she actually wanted to talk, because sending money from a distance is a lot harder than simply showing up at my place to borrow money. I'm actually moving to Japan in July, having accepted a teaching...

    Sometimes I’m afraid to be rich

    Thanks so much for this. And the link. I'm always interested in hearing how successful people deal with family issues like money. And no, I wouldn't let them starve or be homeless, but I don't want to end up like a personal ATM like my grandmother until the day I die.

    Sometimes I’m afraid to be rich

    LOL! Nothing would make them run away faster than asking them to work. Ironically, a distant cousin of mines opened a restaurant some years ago and made the brilliant decision to hire only relatives to work for him. The business folded in less than a year. What happened? He hired people that...

    Sometimes I’m afraid to be rich

    Yeah, there's more to it but I would have to write a book to explain it. Thanks for your comments.

    Sometimes I’m afraid to be rich

    Before you guys call me the stupidest person alive, please hear me out. I’ll make it as short as possible. The biggest fear I have about being rich is my family. They are typical sidewalkers. Begging is something I’ve known all my life. Everybody always needs money to pay this bill or buy a...

    Dropping out of High school?

    MINDSET 
    Finish school. I find people struggle much more in life without a high school diploma than a college degree. My brother dropped out of high school in the 11th grade and while he's been able to provide for a wife and 4 children, it's not been easy. Not only has he been turned down for jobs due to...
