Hello everyone,
I’m Doriana and I’m 24 years old.
I graduated from a bachelor's degree in business management in October 2019. Not having a clear idea on what to do and needing to improve my English, I moved to Chicago as an AuPair for a gap year. I live with an American family and take care of their children.
The father and mother of the kids work in management jobs and live a wealthy life, or at least what I thought it was a wealthy life. At first I was fascinated and thought I wanted that. I then began to research the skills I needed to have in order to be more competitive in the corporate world after my AuPair year.
I thought I needed to experience more things and I studied finance, SAP, marketing etc. However, in everything I was doing I didn't see any real practice and didn't feel motivated.
I started to observe the parents better and realized that they were actually selling their time for money and that the wealth they have now they have built up over 20+ years. Subsequently, after reading the book there I identified them as "Slowlaners".
I've been experiencing a sort of mid-life crisis since I graduated from college. I identified it later. At first I didn't understand why I was feeling this sense of unease.
I didn't recognize myself in what the society asks but at the same time I didn't see any other options.
I started reading and watching videos to get inspiration from people who were living a truly wealthy life.
A month ago I came across the book "The Millionaire Fastlane ". My soul was inspired. The book gave me clarity of thoughts I was feeling and made me feel less lonely knowing that someone else felt the same way.
Because of C0VlD-19 I have decided to extend my stay in the US. Now in my days I am focused on applying the concerts I read in the book and of course reading much more.
I still don't have all the answers to the questions inside of me, but at the same time this book has given me direction.
(From Wikipedia Midlife crisis - Wikipedia
A midlife crisis is a transition of identity and self-confidence that can occur in middle-aged individuals, typically 21 to 65 years old.[1][2][3] The phenomenon is described as a psychological crisis brought about by events that highlight a person's growing age, inevitable mortality, and possibly lack of accomplishments in life. This may produce feelings of intense depression, remorse, and high levels of anxiety, or the desire to achieve youthfulness or make drastic changes to their current lifestyle or feel the wish to change past decisions and events.)
