Hey all,
Over the last year or two, I have taken a step back and looked at my life. I am 24, working as a Registered Nurse and just spending my money and building up debt - causing me to have to work more to pay it off. While I love my job of helping others in their time of need, I have come to the realization that I want to be in charge of myself and have control over my money - not constantly chasing the debt train down.
I have been reading several books by Don and continuously immersing myself in the real estate market - trying to learn as much as I can. I have also met with my financial planner in regards to saving my money and I should have enough in a savings account for a down payment within the next 6 months (being realistic).
I have begun to assemble my team and my contacts within the trades to assist in my investments. I have also set together a home office for me to work from.
Long story short - how does everyone keep so motivated? There are times when I want to just keep spending money, but I know now is the time to invest - I still live at home, have no significant other and have no children or dependants. Have you all framed your personal Belize? Do you rely on books, websites, etc. I want to continue to stay motivated, and I think I'm doing a good job so far but I know there will be down times and would love to know everyone else's secrets.
My apologies for the long winded post. I'm excited and nervous for this but it is definately something I want to be involved with in the long term.
Thanks!
Matt
