The Rat Race

9.00a Wednesday morning ,this is my first entry to this blog in over a month. My last post was after a Saturday run I was looking forward to a shift into forward gear with cash flow returning into my life I was optimistic and grateful for the coming Friday ,my disappointment that Friday after receiving my first commission check was devastating. Because the commissions are payed once per month I am taxed a 40% rate ,all my calculations and budgeting were short $700 I had told all my creditors personal and corporate that I would be able to pay them and according to my calculations I would have just made it not much left but my word and dignity would be there .However I was not able to make good on my word these past few weeks have been once again exhausting and frustrating the rat race is not fun or rewarding, to trade 160 hours of my life to still not be able to have my dignity is truly insane.The definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over expecting a different result, that means 96% of the population is insane the job gives you just enough money to keep your lights on but not enough to really change your life now I see the futility of taking a job and trading hours for dollars .Luckily for me the efforts that I put into dragging my friend to every wealth education seminar payed of he payed for an advance training course in real estate strategies we are now both absorbed in this learning process soon we will put our knowledge into action by doing a small deal.This Friday I will get my 2nd commission check since I started working for JV, I wont get excited I will have to pay back $1000 to an Angel who felt compassion for me, thank God for this ,yes this is the 5th month that I have been almost evicted I have run 4 marathons but not one of them has been as grueling as the Rat Race.
