Rat Race.

Any one who read the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", know exactly what rat race means. It is the neverending loop of get paid, pay bills and get paid, pay bills. Remember the round thingy inside the hamster cage? Sort of cylinder shape, where the hamster runs on it and the cylinder keep ons turning. The faster the hamster run, the faster the cylinder turns. And the poor hamster never know that she is running no where. This is what happened to us too, in the real world. As we starts to work, the race is also started. The harder we work, the faster the cylinder turns. The more we earn, the more we spend. The debts seems neverending. Once fully paid the car loan, we still have the housing loan, then your childs' maintenance and not to forget, credit cards. We are going no where. This is a sad but true reality.

I should have know this better, cause i read the book even before i got my first job. But no, i walk straight to the trap. I thought this race can be easily avoidable, but i am wrong. Too naive i was.

I am in the depth of despair.
