Hello Hive community, this is the future and I am glad to be an early user. I would like everyone out there to gain a little motivation here today as you may stumble upon this post. This post will be pretty brief but enough for you to get motivaed. I hope you enjoy, and thanks for reading.
Quick Background
Info For starters, I am 20 years old and have made been making a lot of "grown-up" decisions since the age of 16. Growing up all I ever knew is that I wanted to be rich. I come from a well-rounded middle-class family but knew that there was more to life than just working and paying bills. I wanted the finer things in life, and the expensive lifestyle only one can dream of. At the age 16, I decided to get a job at Panda Express to obtain things my parents wouldn't want to waste their money on. Around this time I was super excited about working to make money and wanted to work as much as possible to become "rich". At the same time I was working I decided to learn how to invest my money and build credit. I kept the mentality to save up all my money and be frugal as possible to invest as much as possible. I started to trade stocks, crypto, and play in the forex market as well. Fast-forwarding to 2 years of juggling being a Jr Olympic track athlete, fast food worker, high school student, investing, and studying the market it finally paid off.
My Story
I hope if you’re reading this that you can take something out of this and learn your worth or just even be motivated/eye-opened. My first ever job I worked at Chuck E Cheese and only worked there for a week an a half! I worked my ass off like a fucking slave for that week and felt/was treated like a fucking peasant. Leaving 3 a.m vacuuming floors and using a fork to scrape cake off the floor at the end of the day. For only $7.25 an hour! I was fed up and walked out, because they told to get on my hands and knees and clean the floor and I told the manager no will not and didn’t come back. I told myself not to work again unless it’s at least $10 an hour. That’s where I worked at Panda Express, I made some good friends/memories there and even loved the job. After a while working drive-thru killed me. The heels of my feet would hurt so bad that I had to put tissue in the heel of my shoes to stop them from feeling like they were bleeding. I was mentally and physically drained from running back and forth thru drive-thru trying to keep the time down to a certain time and really became one of the best workers up there and was loved up there. The customers there really messed it up for me, the long drive-thru lines and dinging in my ear every 5 seconds from it being so busy gave me PTSD. Juggling work, school, and running track all at the same time was super stressful. At nights I would just wanna hang myself because I was so tired. The money I was getting was the most I’ve ever gotten and made me feel like there was no other better-paying job than that one. Deep down inside I wanted more and realized that if you work every day you‘ll never be rich. I know there’s more to life than just working to pay bills and dying. It’s so sad that people get caught up in the system and never really get to enjoy the finer things in life. I’m not saying I have it bad and know there are people who have it a million times worst but I’m just sharing my story. I made what took me almost a year to make at panda in a single day of trading. If you made it to the end god bless you and hope you one day can obtain the skills that I got. This is just the beginning and I wish everyone the best of luck.
