Feeling Like an Island

[Mark Ito]

I'd like to preface with an apology. This is half rant, half asking for advice. People always say to surround yourself with people who share your goals and visions, and those that are living the life you want. There are approximately 0  people in my circle that have the passion for real estate that I do. Co-workers, friends, family, not even my wife. I have looked for meet-ups in my area, and traveling/overnights are not really realistic for me. Aside from Bigger Pockets, I feel so alone. It is so incredibly disheartening to be so all-in, and then not being able to make any moves because your other half isn't comfortable with it. I've talked numbers, I've talked futures, I've talked about setting our children up for success, but it makes me want to give up. I won't of course, because most people here understand that the passion can't be quelled so easily. 

Has anybody faced a similar situation and overcame it? Anybody have any advice in general? Anything helps.
