I am in an interesting position, because in my country college education is free (payed by taxpayes, so not really free - but to no imediate debt to you), if you do it right after high school. So I went to enginering college, which took me almost 5 years to complete.
To my unaware slowlane brain, this was a good investment, because I get an increase in my base salary, and I was going to earn more per year, and have better job opportunities, more safety and security.
I didn't know any better. I am digesting chapter 14 now, talking about U.L.L. (uncontrolled limited leverage). And I see that I spent 5 years on my time (time = wealth), to get some education (most of which I forgot and won't ever need or use for work), to go spend more time (wealth) in companies, where I cannot control my income, or my time.
On top of that, I was going to use my salary, to invest into sandp500 and index funds, in hopes of patiently building "wealth".
F*ck :S Truth hurts. It's like I took a financial and a life red pill. It's so funny to look back with these new glasses. I am both happy and sad that I am 25. that is somewhere between a quarter and a third of a lifetime.
Thinking of my parents makes me sad. To look at their life force disappear, to see their bodies week and broken from a life time of not just work, but physical labour (And they are still not retired). All of this makes me think about what matters. I would love to spend more time with them. I want a life that allows me to do that.
Thanks for reading, Branko
