Slowlane sucks.
I believe that the majority of the people on this forum would agree with me on this statement.
Unfortunately, most of us go Slowlane before we switch to the Fastlane and I believe that is for various reasons.
There is really countless reason why you may be in the Slowlane. All these reasons were based on your previous choices but you finally realize that you need to switch lanes.
For myself, I wash dishes and not because I want to, but because I fall in to category #2 "Lack of Money." The typical college student. Every day that I work my incredibly slow Slowlane job I stay motivated through audio books to further my knowledge. If you can to that, I highly recommend it!
Lately I began to get unmotivated working at this job, even though I haven't worked there for very long, seeing that I wash dishes for a fast food restaurant. What has helped me get through each night has been to:

- You just read TMF - You have been traveling in the Slowlane your whole life, and now you have read this book and realized that you have been stuck in the "Rat Race" without even knowing it.
- Lack of Money - You want to be Fastlane, but your bank account reads "$4.32." You realize that in order to move Fastlane you probably need some sort of capital, so you work Slowlane in the hopes to raise that capital needed.
- Drowning in Debt - Why did I buy that brand new car that I can't afford? You realize(or maybe not) that you buying that brand new car was unnecessary because now you are drowning with debt. Due to this you work Slowlane to get your bi-weekly check rather than spending your time planting your money tree seedling and wait for it to grow.

- Recognize what my goal is for working this job. I know what amount of money I need to earch to get my business venture underway. I see the end of the light. I know for myself that working at this job is not going to be 3 more years, because I understand what my end goal is and that is to raise a set amount of money. What my goal IS NOT, is to have my Slowlane job pay for my life. It just won't happen at $9.75 an hour.
