In the Beginning...

For many years and many months I have been told that I walk like a rich man. What that means till this day I still am not sure. Personally, I had never really thought about attaining riches. After all, it will all pass away anyway. I just want enough for me, my present family (parents and siblings), and future family (wife and kids) to live comfortably with no worry. Actually, I didn't even think about the future family part. But here I am writing a blog about a faster path to wealth. Seems there is some strange power in words. Especially when repeated.

In case you were wondering the answer is no. I am not yet rich. I still live with my parents and still go to school. But over the past three years I have come across some people who have unintentionally put me on the path to attain financial freedom. I am here to chronicle my journey through that path and hopefully help others follow the same path. Sure you may take different steps and find other (legal) shortcuts, but it is still the path to wealth is it not?

Okay. As I stated earlier, I never really thought about attaining riches. So what changed? Only the simple understanding of two statements I am 100% sure you have heard: "Money makes the world go round"and "Money is power". For anybody that knows me and is reading this you might think "But wait. Isn't the love of money the root of all evil?" Well, I do believe so, but the key phrase in that question is the love of money. I have chosen not to love it. It will simply be a tool to accomplish the dreams and ideas that have been planted in my mind. 

Yes. It is those dreams that made me understand the two phrases I mentioned earlier. Let me explain by taking it to the extreme. Let's say that because you are so kind and generous and loving, your dream is to end world hunger. Please, if you can, explain to me in the comments how you can accomplish that without money. The point is this. If you are the most selfish person on earth, you need money to prove it. If you are the most altruistic person on earth, you need money to assist those in need. If you don't care either way, you need money to live.

"Nooooo. That's not true. I know lots of people that live without money", you may say. Do you really? Do you? Ask yourself. Is it not someone else with money (directly or indirectly) that enables that person to live without it? Even if you live in an extremely isolated part of the world, you still need some kind of currency if you wish to exchange goods and services with others. 

So. With that said. Over the next few months and perhaps years, I will chronicle my own journey to wealth. I am not doing so to brag. I simply wish to show people my way out of the so called "rat race" and encourage others to do the same with the caveat of it being in a legal, ethical, and moral manner.
