I played this game by Robert Kiyosaki called Cashflow 101. It’s pretty fun. I bought all this real estate and ended up on the ‘Fast Track’. My fantasy was ‘The South Sea Fantasy Island’... just sounds so beautiful and dreamy. I didn’t get it though… but I will next time. Anyway, the game opened my eyes to the idea of real estate investing. I always thought it was clunky and expensive, I liked stock because it seemed so versatile and flexible, easy. But playing this game showed me that I’m very much the sort of person who enjoys big payouts and a steady, strong income from assets… not flipping everywhere like stocks.

Although, not much use now this information will become valuable to me in the future. Or maybe it is, it is giving me a better idea of what I want to do with money to make money.

Right now trying to get a job, a nice-paying one near home so can I reach my goal of $1000 in my bank account this year (already 1/5th of the way!) and save up the rest of the money for investing later on.

I just want a job for cashflow, for income. I want to get rich ultimately, a millionaire. Somehow I feel a job isn’t going to get me there. Robert Kiyosaki suggests getting a job to learn a particular skill, like sales or marketing. I know I want to write and do art, and get money off that… I think learning those two subjects would defintely be helpful to me. Plus I just wanna a job to have my own little piece of money, my own share sitting in the bank. Knowing I earned that money, that I didn’t scab off my mother or anyone, but I did it. I just want MONEY. A job is just one of the ways to get one.

I did this one week trial just to see what it would be like. It effected me big time mentally when I didn’t shampoo my hair for one week. It made me feel less prettier, lighter and cleaner. I detested the feel of oil in my hair. Though no one else noticed and I can hide it under a pony, a handkerchief, a hoody, a hat, etc. Anyway, I’ll think about doing the proper six week thing but a week before the Easter break. So I’ll have three weeks of avoiding people and keeping my greasiness to myself. They say the first two weeks are the worst, and the faster you get oily hair, the faster you ‘recover’. So I’ll think about it… I feel like I should do it cause I put it up here as goal on this public site, and doing this and with my hair type (straightish, fine, thick, short) might helps others too. Plus I don’t like the idea of giving up just because it feels icky- both emotionally and physically.
