Rich Dad Poor Dad

Well, I don't know why I didn't read this book earlier. But I can relate to so many things in this book... it's freaking me out! Anh Hung told me to read this book a long time ago. Back when I was still at Delgado. Why didn't I listen to him? No wonder he lives his life the way he does. Fortunately, things happens for a reason and I couldn't appreciate it more that this landed in my life at this exact moment. I really needed this book. It gives me a sense of what I'm up for in my adulthood. I revamping my plans now. I just realized that I'm single and I will be single for quite sometime. Even if I have a new boyfriend soon, my tax paper work will still be filed as a single independent. And single girls like me will have to put out alot of money for the government. There's no way around it. Unless I get married and file with a spouse and some kids for dependents. I'm dreading to pay taxes, but I know Ihave to hurry up and pay off my school loans and credit cards bills. I also planned to give my mom allowance too. Because I love her and because she loves me. I know now I'm pretty much an asset to my parents. My dad said he would let me live in one of his houses... or maybe he was just joking, but I think it's much smarter to keep it up for rent and not sell it unless we're really feeling the pressure of the financial crisis. I really don't mind the paperwork and calling and being a bitch to the tenants while my dad plays the nice owner role. I never knew my parents were teaching me things I'm reading in this book already. I used to think I was just helping them out, but in truth they were helping me with my future and how I handle paperwork and business with people. Whoa, I better cool it with the bitchiness. I can never forget that time I bitched out someone over the phone and made my parents burst out laughing. I was just trying to get those people to know that vietnemese people are not pushovers. I now understand why Anh Hung owns so much apartment complexes and his store has extra space for new ideas he doesn't have money for yet. I think I will move over to Lafayette afterall. I really do need to get out of this town and it's haunting memories. And I would love to be nearer to my god-daughter and that cardiovascular institute is looking more appealing than anything now. But I still have to really think about it. I've been very bored with echo. And I know I can do respiratory, no problem. It's quite laid back and I can invest my free time into real business. And since I'm paying tuition and pretty much took out loans for my education, I should take advantage of it all and obtain everything it has to offer. I'm still young and I can do anything if I just put my mind into it. I'm really glad Ngoc talked to me about this book. I hope Richard reads it and pertain to his life also. I want Ngoc to be happy and be well taken care of. I can't wait to go back to Barnes tomorrow and finish reading this book. I have a quiz on Wednesday to study for too. I love it when Darrin let's me go early I hope he lets me go again tomorrow. I love going to Barnes and read. I have to pack gym clothes for tomorrow cause I have a date with Glenn to help me with my butt workouts.
