A couple of years ago I attended a cheap financial course at a local high school. The instructor recommended RK's first book and I couldn't put it down. My eyes were big as saucers realizing there was another world out there that no one around me was talking about. I got excited about my future and the possibilities.

I followed you guys over here from RD's site and rarely go back. I'm an S in the Slow Lane but developing the mindset of an I in the Fast Lane. I think changing my mindset is probably going to be the biggest challenge. A solid foundation supports a sturdy house. In addition to my f/t business I took on a p/t job to put cash away for that first investment and clear up some debt. I've always been financially responsible and have gotten pretty clear about my goals with deadlines attached.

Real estate is where I'm heading- eventually apt. buildings. Great posts here about that! I'm learning a lot from the posts here. :thankyousign:

I've continued to educate myself through tons of reading, joining a REI group, looking at props and crunching the numbers and talking with anyone I can find that's like-minded. Easier said than done. Like a lot of you, my friends and family just don't get it and probably see me as a dreamer thinking the high-life is for other people. That's ok. I smile to myself knowing this is going to be one hell of a fun ride!
