How has Detroit evolved over the last year? 

What does your financial situation look like? To me that is the biggest player here. You talk of suffering for another 40 years, though with some sound budgeting I imagine you could create huge wealth in 10 years simply through saving. Why do it that way when you can invest?

What does your current lifestyle cost? Could you live off 25% of what you earn and invest the rest? If you are willing to make that change you could be out of aero and into REI in 3-5 years imo. You have the degree's you have because you believed in yourself and worked hard. Find a way to do the same thing in the REI game and you will crush it!

If you havent checked out BP's money podcast you should! @Mindy Jensen @Scott Trench are talking all about this subject. They interview all types of folks who have been in your shoes too.

@Chris Seveney Going to local Rei is far from high level networking. Meet ups are great and maybe with a mindset shift I could benefit more from them. They have yet to lead to finding a mentor or deal. The other issue is they happen once a month and I'm not always able to attend. I will report back in a week or two when I have a better grasp.

@Jason DiClemente The cash flow from 3? Saving 700$ a month isn't going to buy me 3 properties. Buying properties is the goal.

@Rachel H. Thank You! Look up the Rock Thomas bigger pockets podcast. Great episode. It's more than just a network of Rei. I believe there a number of bpers in the millionaire group associated with M1too including Brandon and David the podcast hosts. I thank you for sharing your experience.

@Mike Alt @Aaron Wade I highly recommend checking out the Rise with Rock podcast from Rock Thomas. It's a look in on the weekly M1 calls. Definitely a good sampling of what's going on on the inside.

@Aaron Wade Your net worth is your network. Roi will be judged based on action taken, connections made and net worth growth. Decided to take the plunge, I'll let you know how it goes. The decision wasn't an easy one but everything happens for a reason and the dominoes just kept falling.

Anyone?

After hearing the Rock Thomas episode I looked into M1. The concept makes a lot of sense but paying $700 a month to network is quite the cost/commitment. Anyone on here taken the leap of Faith? I would love to hear from an active member or 10. There is some solid structure to the program and a solid accountability piece along with getting to interact with highly successful people. I'm interested to hear from anyone who has been a part of m1 or something like it.

@Anthony Wick What did you study? Congrats on the life time earnings. It dawned on me reading your post that my two year degree will have me earning $1 mil every ten years and I payed a fraction of what you payed in 92 in 2013.
