Good morning all,
I wanted to introduce myself and make this a marker for the start of my journey to wealth.
Having read Millionaire Fastlane (and now going through Unscripted ) I am glad to have swallowed the necessary pills that have opened up my eyes to the Slowlane and Sidewalk. It is gut wrenching. Thank you @MJ DeMarco.
And I have my motivation - Over the last few years I have been fighting to stay in my daughters life. Family courts sided unjustifiably with the mother and it took me months and thousands of £s to get supervised now unsupervised access. The 6.5h per week unsupervised contact I am "allowed" now can be taken away at any moment through any number of false accusations. The only route to being the father and presence my daughter needs is for me to have freedom of time. And only the Fastlane can provide that. I have to succeed for my daughter. I have no choice. I am willing to fail, I am willing to suffer and I am willing to be embarrassed because in the end we are all going to die anyway so may as well die making it.
From a practical viewpoint - I am in the top 10% of earners in the UK and still in my early 30s however my lifestyle and outlook is not hugely different to when I earned 1/3 less last year. I have more savings now but the future is always of hope and uncertainty. Having digested books on investing I know achieving market returns is the best one should hope for - this keeps my life the same. The Fastlane is my only route.
Not sure anyone will read this, but I look forward to learning from others here and hopefully one day be able to provide insights and give back to others.
Thank you to all who have contributed and will help me learn and grow.
Best wishes to you all in your endeavours.
