I'm in it for the money



I don't care about your revolution.  I just want to get paid.

Han Solo speaking to Princess Leia after rescuing her from the Death Star.

Currently watching Star Wars with the kids.  Well, they are watching it, I am still working on report cards.

A line that made me think, though.

The struggle with trying to provide a nice life for my family, while staying true to my principals.  I find myself thinking about doing things (investing, real estate, etc.) that I never would have thought about 15 years ago.

I think about about the time I put in at work, for how little I make per hour.  The societal value of my job verses the numerical value of my job.  Something needs to change.

Real estate (income properties)???? Do I become a landlord.  Something I used to consider a parasite on the backs of labour?  Do I justify it to myself by telling myself that I will be a different type of landlord?

Maybe I just keep hoping to win the Lottery...
