It is 12:35 am on Tuesday 15th August, right now I cannot sleep and I am concerned for my financial foundation.
I am not greatly in debt that it burdens me to sleepless nights nor am I debt-less enough to enjoy free time to what I wish...
Like most people, I have a mortgage to pay, utilities to pay and living expenses.
From a young age, I have admired Martial Artists such as Bruce Lee & Jet Li, fascinated by Martial Arts such as Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Wing Chun, Tiger Fist and various other ones. I wanted to be like my heroes! I wanted to learn the unarmed ways to defend those who can't defend themselves!
Growing up some more, I worked, it then dawned on me to enjoy life, you must play the game. The game of Money, play smart, be frugal and invest. Get out the Rat Race. This was taught to me by an old neighbour of mine; Mr. John Carswell, soon he introduced me to "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. It was and still is a brilliant book that awakens something deep inside you from its long slumber. It was thanks to this book that made me interested in Real Estate, properties and businesses. From this book, it led me to another book; "3+1 Plan" by Brett Alegre-Wood. In short, it says if you have one property to live in and another three rented out, you will be financially free.
I have a job, I enjoy it from time to time seeing regular customers and having random conversations. It is adequate but it isn't what I really want...
My body is weak from lack of exercise and soft from a time away from conditioning. I trained for four to six hours weekly when I was able to participate in my Martial Arts School and spent around one-hour conditioning my knuckles and forearms every other day...I really miss my training and my school.
I over work my body without sufficient rest. Summer every year is the worst for me, part-time staff and full-time staff all want to go on a vacation with their dates overlapping and my senior permits this. All I can do is hold my tongue and soldier through. I do feel under appreciated but I see no gains in voicing my concerns as it will be brushed off. With the passing months, I feel more responsibilities are being placed upon me yet I question what my role is. I do not like this deal we have, this arrangement, this set up...this way of work. I have said nothing to nobody but I fear that I am losing interest and passion for my job...that is a dangerous point for employers as for when an employee is only willing to "do" the hours but not the work, the inevitable will happen; either I get replaced or I leave.
Essentially the pay is what keeps me there as the number 1 reason. Regrettably and perversely I cannot be without an income just yet...my financial foundation is just being constructed.
So you see, here is my concern, I enjoy Martial Arts, I want to keep training for fitness and to study it but my job takes a lot of my time. The money saved from my earnings isn't enough to meet my expectations and make better use yet. I would absolutely and sincerely want to have three more properties rented out and just work part time so I can pursue my childhood dream.
I leave this here with a last thought; People come and go, certain events happen in your life, these things are to prepare you for what you asked for.
Goodnight all.
