Finding ways how not to get rich!

I was thinking during my shower of ideas to write about. I thought I will discuss my 18 years journey to getting rich, which I have yet to do. Then I thought I would talk about details of my many attempts at achieving wealth and the first thing that came to mind, was the famous Thomas Edison Quote "I have not failed, I have just found 10,000 ways that won't work" and it immediately hit me.

I have learned so many ways how not to get rich that I can probably write a book about. So here I am, I will be going over all of the ways that I have tried and failed at getting me rich which would potentially help other people in their journey as well.

To give you a bit of history, ever since I was young - and by young I mean in my early teens - I've always been driven to literature. I liked to read in school but most of all I've always liked to write. Unfortunately writing for me was a method to express anger, depression, break-ups, adolescence, a crush, anything that had to do with negative emotions.

Which is why it has always been an off and on thing.

Whenever I felt depressed, I wrote. I guess I never really wanted to share my thought with anyone verbally and as long as I wrote about it, it was as if I told someone what I was thinking. Unfortunately it was a one way communication process, I never really received any kind of feedback.

Whenever I stopped writing, it meant I was in a good place in my life, too absorbed with what was going on, to really reflect or at least to get this urgency to write.

I think this time it's different. I'm 38, I have a good life, I don't deny it has ups and downs, but nonetheless i'm grateful for everything I have, content with what I have achieved so far or let's just say i'm OK with it, as I'm still not rich.

I moved to a different country, a 1st world country and compared to my 3rd world home, this is practically a whole different level. I get to use public transportation extensively, which gives me about 3 hours or less of daily reading. Which brings us to why i'm writing.

I'm getting almost 1 hour daily of self assessment, inner thought, inner monologue, after which I realised that I really want to pursue this.

... and voila! Here we are.
