i guess i will be on the slow but steady and never filthy rich plan.
interesting discussion though.

I was like that no more than 8 months ago. I just wanted to pay down my mortgage, and live the debt-free life.
Then I started talking to this guy at work, read a few books, and I was hooked. I'm still in the process of figuring out how everything works, but as of right now I have the money available, a good chunk of the know-how, and an incredible urge to get moving.
It's not the idea of becoming filthy rich that gets me going, though. Sure, I'd like to be well off, but really I just want to be comfortable. It's mostly the fact that I want something to replace my income through work, as I think I'll be 6 feet under in 5 years if I don't get out from under this stress.
Plus the idea of making these deals just fascinates me. This is the first time I've ever done anything that resembles work that I can really sink my teeth into and enjoy.
