So, Danni made a post yesterday that has got me all stirred up inside.

Why is it that everywhere you look, no matter how diverse our country is - everybody is doing the same thing.  We'll start with graduating high school, and go all the way through retiring:

- You graduate high school, and things are looking good for you.  You can make yourself into

I agree. But they already have a name for that my friend.

It's called the ratrace.

You know where to find these people? Go look at the freeway at 6:30pm. I can guarantee you every single one of those people are stuck in the ratrace. The freeway is their rat wheel.

Your assessment was a bit generous though. Most people work their whole lives and don't get past middle management. The executives are the peoeple who got out of the ratrace. Wouldn't you agree?

These are the same people who fall for the get-rich-quick schemes or no money down real estate investments. I don't feel sorry for them one bit.

I wouldn't say I feel sorry for them.
Each person has their own path and Sam as well as myself, have realized this and wish to direct ours in a slightly different direction.

We want to be the people still in the ratrace as you say, changing it, making it a bit different and opening people up more then they are...

The ratrace is the world, we have the people Sam explained, the people Sam and I are describing, and those who sit on the side of the ratrace, watching and doing nothing.

We all have our own path, and we're just helping direct ours a bit past what society calls "The Norm".

uuummmm......I don't know about all that kumbaya stuff but I get your drift. lol

What business are you getting into?

I know what I will be going to school shortly for, but I kinda wanna keep it on the DL... Let's just say Mrs. Sneed is the most amazing person in High school ever to effect me.

Take that and run with it. ;)

Sam I'm in shock......
Did you just say there's no point in you having a bunch of cars because they are crap......?
I think I missed a big transition here.

"Did you just say there's no point in you having a bunch of cars because they are crap?"

No way, I said that there is no point in having a lot of assets, if inside you are still yearning for something more.
