Help me turn this "negative" to a positive

[Account Closed]

Hey all, I currently work for a construction services company and my boss has been low on work for a while so I've been sittin more than I'd like because I'm not finding much side work either. I have that situation covered though I'm studying for my stationary engineers license with a job I got lined up almost double my current salary and guaranteed 40+ a week. But that's not until I finish a big(3 and a half month) job I start in September I told my boss I would stick around for. So basically from now til september other than studying for my test I'm gonna have more of these sittin days. That's my negative. I'll be sitting around the house not spending a dime because I'm not making a dime for 16 hours, how could I use this time in a positive manor to improve my knowledge to become a rehabber. What can I do to be productive towards my real estate investing that is my true passion and will be my full time job eventually. My financial situation would make it a bit hard for financials at this current situation. Also I'm 23 and live with my parents so I don't have equity.

Gregory, I'd get a library card. I found amazing resources just by going there, looking up the category I wanted, spending an hour or so scanning all the real estate investment books, checking out the ones I wanted, reading them, writing all the best ideas from all of them in a notebook. If there are ones you want to read that aren't there (researching online for the best ones), you can usually request them and have them waiting for you ... for FREE. I love the library. I also spent much time researching financial planning and retirement advice, as you need to know where you want to end up in order to actually get there.
