Ok people, you'll probably think I'm crazy for putting this kind of rant out there and I'll probably get some kind of feedback, regardless positive, negative or neutral, but I feel that I have to get this off my chest. Here it goes. . . . .
I can't stand being on food stamps. I feel that I have failed being a father and a husband in providing for my family. Instead of me going out hunting, making the kill, and dragging the prize home so my family could eat, someone else is doing that for me; the government. It's frustrating.
I wasn't always this way though, I had two franchising businesses back in '07 only for the economy to take me back to square one in '08. Ever since then, I tried to get my family back into security, but only failed job after job after job. I do have a college degree (Arts & Sciences) but it does no good for me as my college loan debt keeps increasing while on deferment because I'm concentrating on supporting my family.
Yep, I am living a sidewalk life and I feel that I'm stuck.
I am doing something about it though. Ever since I read TMF and Unscripted , I am going to get out of this lifestyle and living the life I wanted. I am working on an online business model that has been active since March, but I'm not making any profit as of yet. I guess that I'm too anxious or impatient about growing wealth for my family, spending more time for my kids and helping others. I also wanted to feel as if I created some kind of value for everyone before my life has ended on this planet and not just. . . . .live. You know the feeling that you're living, but not alive; I'm at that place.
Ok I put myself out there and thanks for allowing me to get this off my chest. I don't know what kind of comments for feedback I'm going to receive but I'm game, so go ahead and fire away . . . . . . .
