Obsessed with creating a residual income

[Chance Cooper]

I have been in the Army for a total of 8.5 years and I use to be very passionate about it. Don't get me wrong I do still enjoy some of the perks of being in the Military ie. 30 days vacation a year, tuition assistance, medical, dental, steady income. 

However, since I have become educated on rentals and became a consistent biggerpocket reader I find myself every vacant second of the day looking for my next buy and hold or at home on YouTube listening to Real Estate secrets etc. Its like I love that and just do the Military because it's the vehicle that will get me to the multiple rental homes that I one day want to own.

So for all of you guys/gals that get to that point in your life where you can walk away from your "Job" I kind of envy you. Me walking away from the Military at 10 years would be kind of dumb since they offer a retirement at 20 years or would it be?

I read on here where people quit there job after like 3 years because now they own 10 rentals and it's enough to replace their "Job" income... I want to be in that boat with them so bad that it's really hard not to stick it out in the Army...
