It's the greatest book ever written on how to get rich without a doubt but sometimes I wish I hadn't read it. I guess it just opened my eyes big time that when I know i'm "slowlaning" It's hard to be happy.

It's friday night here and all my friends seem to be going out and I'm in a coffee shop working on my "goals". I'm moving to a crappy apartment so I could fund my business. I can't even remember the last time I switched on my TV because I know I have to read books instead of watching the Lannisters and the Starks. When I try to live the way I used to , I don't have peace. I feel miserable whenever I don't accomplish anything for the day. It's like my source of happiness is when I do something that will bring me closer to my goals. When I talk to most people and see how they live I feel different, it's like they're in a F*cking matrix or something. Recently there's this of ex-co-worker who celebrated his birthday on a yacht and he posted the pics on FB as if he's saying "Hey look at me I'm rich!" as if I don't know that it's rented and he's got debt on his credit cards. The worse thing is his friends are like super impressed. Talk about the slowlane.

My point is.... Nothing. lol. just a little rant and just hoping that this really pay off in the end. Happy weekend!
