Another introduction from another new member.
My name is Devin. I live in a small town in Oregon and I recently turned 20. I have high aspirations in life but not once have I done anything to achieve my goals. And that’s why I’m here.
I currently work in a warehouse for 10 hours a day, 4 days a week making $13 an hour. Albeit an improvement from my prior jobs, it’s not what I want to be doing for the rest of my life. Just like everyone else here, I want to be a millionaire. But I want to be a millionaire so that I have the freedom to do anything, and without worry. I want to be rich so that I can help my parents, my family, my friends, and the people around me. So that I can live my life without worrying about being able to pay my rent, car insurance, etc. To do the things I love with the people I love.
That’s who I want to be.
My one major flaw is that I have ZERO discipline. I’ll start with something, get really excited about it for a few weeks, and then just stop like it never even happened. But that goes with everything in my life from video games and TV shows, to going to the gym and hobbies. That’s the main thing that I need to work on.
I started reading TMF recently. I haven’t even gotten half way through the book and it’s already changing the way I think (Or maybe that’s just me getting excited about a new thing I found). I just hope that this will be the one thing that I can stick with and never lose interest in. This is where I’ll be making a change in my life for the better.
My problem is that I feel I need to surround myself with like-minded people who want to be successful in life (hence why I’m here). I see people who I went to high school with, post on social media a screenshot of their bank balance and it’s appalling. I have $450 in a tin can under my desk and that is $450 more than what they have in their banks. And they haven’t done anything to try and change that. In my town of 8,000, most of who are on food stamps or other government programs, it’s hard to find anyone who shares the same mindset. The one person that I’ve been able to find is my girlfriend. Both of her parents spent years in college to become doctors where they make $5k+ each for 2 weeks of work. That’s amazing. But they’re trading time for work, and I’d much rather have that in passive income.
But I don’t even know where to start besides here.
A little diddy about my life in an Oregon city. I intend on being an active member here and I really do want to make a change in my life. I've read through multiple threads on the forum and one post that really hit me was by Vigilante on a 1 year post.
That speaks to me because I'm usually the one to get excited but never come back again. But I want to be the determined one that gets shit done for a change.

Some people register here, post epic 1AM excitement induced rants, and never log in again as their Subway Sandwich Artist career flounders.
Yet another group registers, racks up a significant post count, zero speed/rep bank, and stays for years. If I owned the place, I would bounce them out much like you might a 29 year old child still living in your basement.
A third group comes in here talking the talk, but not walking the walk. They may get some rep, and even have some good posts, but later you learn they're actually pizza delivery drivers. Much like a kid that grew up in the church, they might know the right words to say, but don't really get the theology for themselves. They just regurgitate what they heard.
Then... there are people like YOU. YOU are who MJ wrote the book for. YOU are who MJ built the forum for. YOU are the reason people like me hang out here.
Courage. Transformation. Guts and determination. You'll get there. You are an #ActionTaker
