Good day to all of those that are stumbling across my introduction, my name is Robert, not Todd; moving on. im between the age of 25 and 30 and I am the proud father and stepfather of two boys, ages 2 and 6. I am married and have been married since 2013 (it feels much longer though). The last year has been tough for me and my family, I started a new job in the road construction industry earlier last year and nearly a year later (last week) I quit that job. maybe not the GREATEST financial choice, but it is my belief that it was my greatest personal choice. My hourly compensation did not reflect every thing the job took from me; My time, My energy. I was a college student full-time online... a couple months into production work and 10 12 hour days swinging picks and shovels, lifting heavy concrete blocks and operating power tools all day, destroyed any drive to participate in a macroeconomics discussion about real GDP. So here we got a tired overworked underpaid guy and his wife that watches him walk in the door every day, shower, eat and then go to bed and two bored kids that have been stuck in the house waiting for him to get home all day.

How... depressing.
BUT recently I have been overcome with this vision, a vision of a life where i'm not standing next to a vortex abyss, keeping my balance at all times as not to be sucked into the pit by its vacuum. A vision of a life where I don't have to deny my child the nerf gun he wants because I cant afford to spend $40.
A life where I have time to be the father and husband I desire to be.

This is the beginning of my journey
I may have a way's to go
But i'm going to ride the fastlane.
