Sorry.
I've been [expletive deleted] for The [different expletive deleted] Man for a decade now. I'm tired of it, and grouchy, and if I have to keep doing this, I'm going to start writing on the walls in the bathroom stall. Don't worry. It'll be something pleasant, like maybe poetry or bad country music lyrics. And, it'll be in pencil, of course.
I made the decision to go back for an advanced degree on a part-time basis several years ago. Although I've learned a lot by doing it and appreciate the opportunities given to me to do it, I never expected it to help me too much from a career perspective. If all goes well, I'll have that piece of paper later this year. That and the crazy corporate work environment have left me a bit burnt out, causing me to ramble on about it to strangers on message boards throughout the Internet. Don't worry -- not you guys.
No wife. No kids. Such things aren't too important to someone as immature and selfish as I am, although I might be willing to give in to Mrs. Right, if I can steal her away from her husband. I might need to offer financial support to parent/siblings on occasion. It has become less of a concern w/ siblings, but may become a slight concern w/ a parent in a few years. I'll talk to her, and see what's up.
I've managed to save some money -- net worth of about 1/3 of a million, if I've done my math right. I've got some money in a couple single family properties, but going forward, I think owning a small business is a quicker way to get out of the rat race. I know that I've got a lot to learn about investing, saving, etc., on top of the little that I already know.
My biggest goal: I want to comfortably get out of the rat race ASAP, so that I can play ball and talk trash at lunchtime, and not have to worry about The Man and his crazy imagination. I enjoy trash-talk a whole lot, and wish that it was a bigger part of my life. In the short term, I'd be interested in hearing people's thoughts on pros/cons of partnering up w/ someone to buy an established fast food franchise, if anyone wants to offer. I've honestly never worked in a restaurant, but I do enjoy eating, if that counts for anything. I'm hoping franchise-offered training, the right partner(s) and a good manager could possibly allow me to be an absentee-owner...or at least an absent-minded owner.
Thank you for putting up w/ my profanity-laced post. Please don't expect me to use less profanity going forward. I'll understand if my account is suspended because of all this profanity. Sorry.
I look forward to continued lurking, and occasional participation on this message board, if permitted. Thanks.
I'm a biter.
