I am 19 years old, motivated to start a real estate investing career to give myself and future family the life I was not able to live. My family life has never been much to talk about, I have pretty much raised myself and grew up with very little so although I am really nervous about taking on such a huge endeavor alone I know I can do it. I recently had to drop out of college for awhile because I could not afford it after losing my job at the metal shop where I worked 60-70 hours a week! just to pay my own way through school. I guess that is good because I can devote all my time toward making my dream happen but also the downside is not having any money right now and no credit at all yet. Many of the people I know, including some good friends are very negative toward the dreams I have in Real estate investing and tell me I'm crazy or just down right stupid for thinking this way so I'm basically on my own here trying to stay focused. I live outside Cincinnati Ohio currently and just ordered Dean's books. I will appreciate all the advice I get from anyone here, It won't go unnoticed! Thank you all for the support. I sure could use all the help I can get! haha. I hope I to can be one of Dean's success stories and become "job optional" in my sometime in my 20's following the path of Dean and Mr. Matt Larson, as well as the rest of my idols I look up to on this site :)I learn a lot just by reading each and every one of your posts.

Thank you so much Rina! that
Thank you so much Rina! that keeps me motivated. You are one of the people I look up to on this site and I only wish I could be half as successful in the same amount of time you have. I'm looking into clubs that don't cost to be a member and learn as much as I can while waiting for the book. Thank you again for your kind words, I won't forget them.
Take care,
Kyle

What's up Kyle
Just wanted to say hey. I'm another young guy like you trying to get into the game of REI! I noticed your like me with many people around you with negative thoughts about what your goals are for REI. I've learned to just let it go in 1 ear and right out the other. If you have a goal or something you want to achieve don't let anyone stop you!! We are taught all through school to get good grades so we can go to college. If we do bad on a test we are punished for it with a Failing grade. All so we can get a good secure job and work day and night until we retire. That is what we grow up with. so of course people will think negatively when someone try's do go out of the norm. I refuse to think like everyone else. I want to be "job optional" too sometime In my mid 20's! Get in the mindset that you will succeed and nothing will stop you. Remember Hope is just another word for not trying. We will succeed my friend and all of the people that looked down upon us will be Looking up to us in the future!! Best of luck Kyle.

Hi Kyle!
Wow. Sounds like you've already accomplished a lot in your life! You keep up that determination and don't let anyone steal your dream! You can be the next Matt Larson and have your froends asking you in just a few short years "HOW DID YOU DO THAT????"
Stick around the DG site, learn all you can, and then put it to work for you. You deserve it!!
God bless,
Rina
