Ok, as I sit here tonight, I have just finished a full days work + playing a joint concert with a local high school jazz band / chorus. You see , among the groups I play with, one is a community band with various aged individuals. We even have some students from the schools sit in with us. It is very cool.
As I sat listening to the school band and chorus perform after we did our thing, I thought back to the days I was in high school. As weird or cheesy as it might sound, it was a good feeling. No worries per se'.... just those of getting your homework done and hanging out with friends. Mom and dad paid all the bills .... it was a great time!! As I continued to listen and think of what all I had done in my 20+ years since high school, I couldn't help but wonder if there was "anything" I would change if I could? For the most part, NO. All things, good OR bad happen for evident reasons I am a firm believer in, however hard it may be to realize that.
With that said, "IF" there was one thing I could change it would have been my investing habits. I was all about cars and music then (and still am to some degree, but wiser ;) ) and investing wasn't as open and free as it is now. Mainly due to the coming of age of this thing we call the "internet". With all the incredible "real" opportunities there are out there, I don't understand why we don't teach investing more than we do. Yes, education is great, please, go to school, earn your degrees, but ALSO learn about this fabulous thing called "investing" and "money management". There are so many real, legit opportunities out there that can really enable you to live a debt-free, stress-free life if you will just take the opportunity and time to study them. Give me my 20 years back and I guarantee you I would be relaxing on the beach right now, whenever I wanted, rather than continuing to do my 40 + hours a week at my local JOB. I shouldn't say all that. I would honestly be doing charitable work helping others and donating more to my church also ...on top of some nice vacations! :)
Enough with the past though ..... these things WILL be coming soon enough for me because I am taking steps NOW to ensure they do. I have studied various opportunities and have several "sound" programs that I am using to build my foundation. Positive thinking and a positive attitude are a MUST but more on that subject in later posts.
I WILL be retired before 65. I WILL make it happen and am already on a great road there. Will you join me? If so and you care to look, please visit my webpage at http://www.howtoearnmoneyfastaneasy.com
Until next post, many blessings,
