@Russ Wahl If you like that, move right into “Cashflow Quadrant”. Now that you have the scent of what you want in life, follow the breadcrumbs. I started my “financial freedom journey” 2.5 years ago. My wife and I have paid off about 55k in debt, built about 75k in cash (40k from cash out refi, and 16k from a small inheritance). We also just closed on our first rental in June of this year, and have 14k in equity there! I’m a total normal guy with a wife and two kids. I’m a field service engineer and she’s a hairstylist. My wife and I make less than 100k a year. If we can do it, anyone can! Robert Kyosaki is great, and I think if you sprinkle in a bit of Dave Ramsey to learn to live within your means (this was hard for me LOL), you will have a portfolio of your own before you know it! Keep the fire lit and keep your vision! Good luck!
