most people just think I am... :coco:
Hi, I'm from Chicago... currently holed up in central IL until I can figure out my next move back to Chicago hopefully next month.
Super excited about getting in the Fastlane! Not sure how that's all going to play out, but looking forward to learning and earning!
My current project is learning to day trade, futures, mostly S&P and moving into the Dow some as well. Not exactly fastlane, but there sure is alot of leverage. Sort of trying to use this as a better than a job, job... because I don't want to have to "get a real job" Trying to get myself some seed money to start looking into some other stuff.
Also really trying to learn. I honestly have been completely financially illiterate up to this point... I mean, once I do have money, what do I do with it? How do I invest, save, etc etc...
Nobody teaches you any of this. It's like people are so proud of themselves for going through Dave Ramsey and not using credit cards and spending less than you make. They think this is financial literacy. That's like saying I can read because I learned the abc's in preschool. Or I'm healthy because I realize I need to shower and put on clean clothes every once in a while. Or I know how to keep up a car because I drive to a mechanic and I just do whatever he says for however much he says it costs. :rulez:
anyway.... rant over. I'm just all fired up after finishing reading The Millionaire Fastlane at around 3am last night. :seeya:
