Be persistent and consistent and don't let that fire burn out that was ignited by the course you purchased.

But going through the process of building our first home only ignited my interest.

I kinda gave up on the idea until I read your post and it ignited my goal again. 

Not too big of a deal, but if it wasn't the igniter that was the problem my repair bill would have been $185-200, and I probably would have just went out and bought a new stove.  

Although I am unaware of the facts, I would expect that REI's explosive incident was the result of somebody not following procedure by putting out all gas pilots or other sources of ignition.

What is IGNITE and BOLD?

Investing was not at the forefront and when I returned it took some time to settle back into normal life.Fast forward to 10-2013The day job was really taking it's toll on me stress wise and re ignited my passion for REI again.

It's the engagement in learning that ignites that flame of inspiration and fuels the hunger to be successful and to make something of myself.

Ever since then, I started reading, looked for new content, and researched like something has possessed me.In a way, Real Estates sparked a light of ambition in my heart and ignited my passion tofocus and learn about something I can enjoy doing.With the momentum I gained from wanting to study real estate, I absolutely dominated all my classes in school this semester.I feel like going to school and completing my undergraduate in actuarial science to become anactuary is the safest route to take, but there is a voice in the back of my mind telling me to start working as an agent.I have completed all of my real estate classes for the license test, and will be taking my test shortly.Although it may seem like a safer option, going to school means I will not be able to invest or create any income for myself for 2-3 years.As well as accumulating what we know of as "bad debt" such as student loans.There are many pros and cons factored into both sides of the argument, and I just wanted some advice from Realtors, and anyone on the BP forum.Thank you for your precious time! 

Thomas left out the igniter, but only if it's a gas stove.
