dreamer

Hello! My name is Sarah and I’m a 24 yr old fastlane student As my username suggests, I’m quite the dreamer. (Hopefully soon I can change my name to achiever! Haha) I was recently given MJ Demarco’s book as a gift, and although I’m only on chapter 10 (I started two days ago) I have learned so much! I suspect this book will be a valuable tool in my success to reach my financial goals before the age of 30. Some very important things I’ve learned so far that I would like to share with you:

An embarrassing epiphany I had after reading the book thus far is that I’m definitely a mix between a sidewalker/slowlane driver, (And I want to change this asap!) I’m a mix because like the sidewalker, I have absolutely zero savings, poor credit, I live pay check to pay check, and have no stable plan for my financial future, (yet.) However unlike the sidewalker, I have pretty much zero interest in buying extravagant things I can’t afford to give the “wealth appearance.” I tend to unnecessarily indulge in experiences rather than materialistic items. For example I’d much rather spend money on expensive concert tickets or an awesome steak dinner at a fancy restaurant than buy the hot new stilettos in the store window that everyone is wearing. And I think I drive in the slowlane in the sense that I got good grades, I am college educated, I have a “decent” job working mon-fri which is my only source of income. At the current moment I feel I have indeed “sold my soul for the weekend” The 5 for 2 return definitely sucks and needs to be changed.

The difference between me and the average sidewalker or slowlane driver however is that I acknowledge the situation I’m in, I’m definitely not content with it, refuse to do this long-term, so I am going to try my hardest to change it. I don’t want to retire rich at 60+ (assuming I even get there!) But like Demarco explained in his book, I don’t just “deserve” to achieve financial wealth without obedience to process or accountability. The thing is… I am more than willing and happily ready to hold myself accountable, to start my process and journey down the yellow brick road. I’m also very thrilled to have found this book and this forum to help me along the way. Thanks in advance to any of you successful ladies and gents who take any time out to help me get there. Your time and advice is definitely much appreciated! So here’s to making millions and sipping fruity cocktails beachside!
