I'll admit it. I'm a consumer and not a producer - well, at least when it comes to my ventures outside of work.

I've had a very successful career, but I have peaked. My job and ability to move up are constrained by the company i work for and therefore I have to break free.

It's been a great gig. It can remain a great gig. BUT HERE's THE PROBLEM! My cash flow is maxed.

I can keep showing up to work every day working 50-60 hours a week and I will continue to make what, by most anyone's standards is a very good living. I'm not quite a 1%er, but I'm easily a 2%er.

I increase my wealth about $360 per day, all day, ever day of the year. (that's factoring in salary, minimum bonus, dividends, 401k matching, etc).

The problem is, I only get this money if I sell my time to the company. i could move to another company but again, that's just selling my time.

Anyone else stuck in this position?
