20 years working, now a moment of clarity!

[freo73]

Thanks to MJ for the book, made me seriously think about where things are actually going with life!

I think I'm a slow lane success story (oxymoron?). School, university, role with an international accounting firm, and now corporate banking earning $180,000+ Paid off the cars, still have the mortgage to go :smx8:

The thought of squeezing on to the train each day and doing this for another 30 years fills me with dread! Sure, I can stick with it, make reasonable money, and have a comfortable life. But is that it?

The biggest challenge is having the courage to embrace the Fastlane approach, while being responsible for providing for the wife, 2 kids (with another on the way). Hard to break a mindset that has been reinforced over and over again!!

Long way to go to get there, but appreciate the great insight, information and advice that many of you share on the site. Best of luck on your individual journeys, wherever they may take you!
