I'm on the verge of touching myself inappropriatel
Hey guys,
April and I were talking yesterday and we really REALLY want a house (we live in a trailer house that's constantly being repaired and we can afford a house on her salary alone). Now, we do have a little bit of a personal problem in the fact that, me, Brian isn't making any money. Another problem is that there's nothing for me to do up here really. I mean, there's no friggin jobs here that I'm qualified for (overqualified is more like it) other than working at a dealership which might get the axe in who knows how long. I'm scared. I don't know what to do. I need advise. We are living on April's income alone, and if something were to happen to her, we're screwed. Now we're looking at starting a family in September (trying to get pregnant) and it's really scaring me. Not the whole kid thing, but the fact I'm not really a contributing member of the household. When April has the kid and is out for who knows how long, then what?
On the same train of thought, I have like $50M worth of listings, but none of them are moving. Knowing my luck, the second I leave here, someone will sell one of my big listings and make off with $100k, or much more. That would friggin destroy me. Not only because I've failed yet again, but because if I'd stuck it out one more week or one more month, I'd have made it. Know what I mean? There's always that little voice that says, "Stick with it" but it's getting harder.
April made a point yesterday when we were talking, and that was, "Honey, you've been trying to make big money for 3 years and all you've ended up with is no money. When is it going to stop?"
I don't know if she means, "when are you going to stop chasing dreams" or "when are you going to quit dreaming and get a real friggin job"? I need an honest opinion on what you think. Should I stick it out a little longer, or should I just give up the ghost and get a job at friggin Advanced Auto Parts or something and make $7 an hour for the rest of my life? I've always been that guy who's looked for bigger and better things and nothing can stop me from becoming successful, but I'm on the edge of being a broken man. My spirit is fractured and I just don't know how much longer I can take failure before it is just too much and I have to quit trying.
What do you think?
Laters,
Brian
