Microwave Society

Subscribe in a reader

I remember my friend Brandon talking about how a lot of people are living in a microwave society in many areas of their life. What does this equate to you ask?

People want instant gratification! I want it now!

How many of you have stopped the microwave before it hit Zero?

Are we being conditioned by our culture to wanting or needing it now?

I believe this is a major reason why people are saying the economy is bad regarding money and finances. Society is caught in the grip of buy this and that now, SO it will make you feel better about yourself and your situation.

Well, look at all the consumer debt. Credit cards, HELOCS to buy toys, Borrowing money for materialistic pleasures to keep up with the Joneses.

What feels better? Instant gratification, feeling good about it at the moment in time (the feeling being temporary) and piling up a lot of debt OR slowly having the things you want over time and being able to have money when you NEED it.

This is why there is no such thing as a 'get rich scheme' involving real estate investing and growing a business. If there was everyone would do it. I have not met anyone who has found the secret formula to 'get rich quick.' Yes, even winning the lottery. They are broke because they spend all of it.

One major reason why I love our business system of "Earn While You Learn" is the fact that you can generate business income while learning to invest in real estate. Over time more Multiple Streams of Income will open up allowing massive opportunity to grow your long term wealth while having the ability to have money now!

When was the last time you let the microwave go to Zero?
