It’s time to get in the fast lane!
Hello everyone
I just finished the book, “The millionaire fast lane.”
WOW! It was incredible. I just ordered, UNSCRIPTED : Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Entrepreneurship.
what brought me to this point is a series of events. At one point I was homeless. Life got the best of me due to the decisions I was making. (No motivation, even though I knew what I wanted) I was letting others tell me what I could and couldn’t do with my life. All my life I wanted to become a police officer. A lot of my “friends”, teachers, co-workers, managers, and even some family members said it wouldn’t happen. They said I would never succeed and reach my number one goal, which was to become a state police officer. When you hear that from the age 12 to 21 it really messes with you. I won’t dive into everything because I could write a book with there being so much.
Long story short I am going on my 8th year as a police officer (state police officer as of 1.5 years ago)
I came across a beautiful girl almost 3 years ago. I am now engaged and we are getting married April 2021. All my life I’ve wanted to get into real estate because I never wanted to become a victim of the rat race. I’m 33 now. I let so many years go to waste and I regret it. What finally pushed me was in July 2019 my fiancé was diagnosed with congestive heart failure and liver failure at the age of 29. She was in the darkest times of her life. Still is, but making progress. Life flashed before my eyes when she was diagnosed. The heart failure came out of no where. After many, many trips to Chicago for treatments and admitted to the hospital many times she is now on the National organ transplant list for a heart and liver. When it will occur? we don’t know. It’ll happen when her liver/heart reach a certain number. In the meantime I’m looking to build wealth. To give her the best life possible and for me to have the best life possible.
i am now awake and I realize how short life is. I finally realize how important it is to be in the fast lane to build wealth and enjoy life. We aren’t here for long and spending it being a slave just isn’t at the top of the list anymore.
sorry. I know that introduction was all over the place. There’s just so much more I don’t want to bore you with it all. The important thing is I’m here to learn and take action. Just this year I’ve paid off $6,000 in credit card debt. My car is almost paid for and I’m on the road to be able to save $1,000-1,300 a month. I have some more debt but I picked up a second job because I’m trying to get it taken care of as soon as possible.
I want to invest in real estate. Purchase houses below market value. Fix them up, cash refinance them to get my money back out, and repeat the process many times over.
I’m here to learn, share more experiences, get advice, and get Into the fast lane before it’s too late.
thanks!
