I currently live in Ruian, China teaching high school students AP Statistics and Pre-calculus. I actually teach economics but ended up having to take this job at the last minute so got stuck the two most boring subjects ever. I've been living in China for the past 6 years and am just now lifting myself out of the fog and shock of losing my construction company in 2008. I was having a good time living here for the first 4 years just teaching, partying, moving to different cities every two years and just cruising along on autopilot.
Two years ago I turned 50 and my birthday present to myself was a trip to Thailand. My life changed in an instant. I found the place I want to live or at least be in close proximity for regular visits. I was surrounded by tourists, retirees and entrepreneurs. I quickly realized I can't and don't want to live a tourist lifestyle (it would kill me), I've never concentrated long enough or saved enough money to be a slowlane retiree (I have approximately $0) but I am an entrepreneur I just needed an idea.

I've had two major life changing moments that turned my life upside down and effected me in two completely different ways (one positive one negative). After reading TMF and lurking on this site for the past couple of months I've realized my third major life changing moment is upon me. It's time to stop procrastinating, get the F*ck out of this chair and get busy adding value instead of focusing on me, me me...
