SuperBowl! Yay! Not.....

For most American men today is a big deal, I could care less to be quite honest. If I was out there making 20 mill I might care, but I'm not. I have been real busy lately, time is really flying by. I finally started my 401k, so that is one thing out of the way. I've been reading a good bit lately, I never finished Robert T. Kiosaki’s "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" When I was reading it many months ago, I'm almost done reading it straight through now though. I read Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace Last week, it’s a pretty good book. I like Kiosaki’s ideas better though, Dave is too reserved and is just too used to dealing with people that just want to get out of debt. Since I’m not in debt except the condo, I want to learn how to make money with my own business and have most of my money tax free. I want to have my own corp. that invests in real estate, mainly buying foreclosures and reselling for profit. I don’t plan on quitting my day job any time soon, but I just need some type of a plan to shoot for. I still want to go to school; I guess I’ll go for accounting. That is one of the top 5 jobs that have a good future outlook for growth, so it sounds like a winner. I’d love to be a mechanic but that won’t feed a family, so I’ll go for something white collar and maybe I’ll have a nice garage to tinker on stuff for fun on the weekends some day. I am just looking for something new to keep my interest, reading is seeming to fill that gap lately. I just am a lil off the deep end with these finance books. I guess I’m just happy to know that something can keep my interest If I really enjoy it, it’s nice to know I don’t had ADHD of some crap. I really use to think I did, I could never make it more than a page without day dreaming. Well, I guess I’m going to call Marion and see what she is up to. I’m going to try and finish up my book now.
