Hello @MJ DeMarco and everyone!
I just wanted to take the time to introduce myself and share a little! My name is Reuben and I'm 23 from Brisbane, Australia. I served in the Royal Australian Navy and currently work as a postal delivery driver, I love my job but I knew there's more to life than the monday to friday life I'd been led to believe. I started reading books and listening to audio books and got excited at the idea of not having to work out of necessity. But then I stumbled across this one book, 'The Millionare Fastlane.' I'd never heard of it before. Everywhere, everyone talks about Robert Kiyosaki or Napoloen Hill or all these other big shots but I'd never heard of Mr. Demarco. By the end of the first few chapters I had an entirely different mindset on freedom. I'd been led to believe that time was forever and I had forever to amass wealth, save 10% blah blah blah. But when I read 'trading five days of labor for two days of freedom' my mindset was flipped upside down. I WANT TO LIVE! I want the Three F's, and dammit I want it now. Not later, when I'm too old to enjoy life. NOW. I know it'll be a hard slog but that sacrifice is worth the freedom I'll buy in the future.
I'm excited to get to know you all and read all your stories of success, as well as share my own in the near future.
Signing off,
Reuben
P.S. be patient with me while I learn to navigate this forum! 😀
