Newbie wants a better life
Hey everyone, I'm fairly new here. I signed up at some point last year, but I can't even remember when. Can't remember if I introduced myself.
Anyhow, I haven't really delved into this too seriously, probably because I don't have a lot of confidence in myself, but today I watched the webinar on the 45-day challenge. I was hoping to learn a lot more on there than I did, but it turns out I learned that I have a lot more to learn. LOL It did give me a good kick in the pants, though, it made me realize that I really have to put more work into learning what I need to learn if I want to get into this business of investing.
I'm sick of this business of living paycheck-to-paycheck and never having enough money for when things come up, or to go on vacations, or to buy gifts for friends and family on birthdays and such. I keep coming back to the fact that the only way I'm going to get out of this rut is to get into real estate investing.
I have bad credit and no money, so I will have to learn how to invest zero, zilch, nada. I wanted to sign up as a pro tonight, but I don't even have the $290. I seriously considered borrowing money from one of those title loan places, which I've done before, but with over 200% interest, that is just not a good idea.
I wanted to take advantage of the cheaper price, and get locked in for 20% off in future years, as the price is going up $100 tonight, but I'm just going to have to resign myself to the fact that it's not going to happen right now. I'll just have to learn as much as I can with all the free stuff on here, and get the different books that BP sells.
Even though I may not be able to get a deal by the end of the day, I am going to commit to putting at least 15 to 20 minutes a day or more into learning all I can about this investing business. For years I've wanted to get into this, so now I'm going to take it seriously. A person gets to a point eventually when they say, enough is enough!
Okay, I better quit here before this becomes a novel. I think it already has. Have a great night, everyone!
