Hello.
Been posting on here for the past few days, just haven't had a chance to introduce myself.
A 37 year old male living in the Boston area, married, with a 4 year old son.
I'm a good example of a slowlaner.
- I went to a good college
- I work in a cushy office job (8 to 6), make a good living (well into the six figures) I'm a partner at my firm, and my company is good to me.
- I max out my 401k
- We don't live excessively; both cars are paid off, we carry no credit card debt, and our mortgage is more than reasonable
However,
- We live paycheck to paycheck (we're single income as my wife stays home with my son)
- And big, although necessary expenses, are put off as they are hard to budget for
- I travel about 20% of the time; and that takes away from family time.
What I want out of life:
- To be remembered for something when I leave this planet
- To be able to add value to other people's lives outside my own family
- For my son to never have to worry about money
- To not have someone else determine what my time is worth (salary)
What I've done so far to try leaving the slowlane:
- Been working on a non-fiction ebook that I plan to publish later this year; the problem has been the lack of time. What I plan on doing is heading to the library every day during lunch and hammering out more of the book until it's complete.
What comes after that?
- Maybe another ebook? I don't know.
- I've tried a few business ventures that haven't gone anywhere, but I'm not discouraged or deterred.
Cheers!
