I thought this needed a seperate thread for our newbie and next generation Fastlaners!
To clear up to everyone of this concept. I call it the Y (WHY?) direction? It is basically taking advantage living with your parents (bottom of Y) till age ? you leave home (middle of Y). Learn everything you can and make a plan for yourself on how to live in the real world not school world. There's 2 direction you can choose up to if you understand the concept. Left side of Y (Employee) and right side of Y (Fastlane). If not most likely you'll branch out the the left direction towards being an employee where most everyone is geared up to be since this is all they learn in school and from parents telling them go to school so you can get good grades. The other is the fastlane that you won't know, understand and learn until you realize, someone tells you (like this) or something happens in your life and go searching for answers.
The further you go on the stem branch the harder it is to jump on right side (fastlane) since you'll have OBLIGATIONS built up on left side of branch (mortgages, debts, car loans, doodads etc...expenses you didn't have when living with your parents or guardians) and be stuck working more hours to keep up paying it. No more time to plan. :nonod: Your mind is used by your work partially for hours since this is how your earn in exchange for your time, by time you get home you'll be tired making your plan or even forgot about it. Instead of making plan, research etc... 10 hours you'll only have 1 hour? since you have to work 8 or so hours? You'll eventually make it but it'll take more time 10 yrs? (LEFT unknown direction) versus 5yrs? (RIGHT known direction). Make your plan wisely ahead of time and life will be a lot easier for you if direction is planned early on. Which way do you want the left branch (employee) or right branch (fastlane)? Now that you know and understood, please pass this along to your friends, brothers, sisters etc...before they leave home. And remember LOVE your parents and everyone around you. We are all here to help everyone succeed. HAVE FUN! :seeya:
