We went down to AC for a few nights @James Ruscica @Mary Ruscica to have some fun gambling at various table games. I had $400 that I started with. I was really conscious of this amount of money and how it was just slowly dwindling away. I found that my mental awareness of this lack was playing with my head. I really took stock of this bad feeling I was having. I sat down and had a drink and I pondered this emotion and after a few cocktails realizing that I was not playing to win, I was playing not to lose. I don't know why this was so profound HA! and important to me and I have been going to AC for 40 years and finally realized I had always been playing not to lose and not playing to win! I then made a bet on roulette and calculated what I could potentially win on the next spin and everything changed-Everything! $20 would gross me $700 I was now playing to win the $700. Game changer focusing on what it would feel like if the ball dropped on my number (13) I actually walked out of the casino with money in my pocket for a change because my mind shifted. Realizing the shift, I started to look at areas of my investing life and wanted to know where else is this a factor, this notion of "playing not to lose" Watcha think?

I’m absolutely new to real estate and wondering who else on this group has their first rental property or is at least trying to ?

Why do people stay working at a dead end job? Day after day week after week with nothing to look forward to but a few cents an hour increase. There are several reasons, none of them are very good reasons and if you can think of others that I missed please drop them below. 1. They know how to do the job 2. Comfort 3. Just a big bad habit
