Mr. OWEsome to Mr. Awesome
February 22, 2012 1 Comment
Every week days, waking up early and going to work is like a heavy burden. Actually, the one big reason that keeps me going or inspires me to go to work is the fact that I have to pay something. I have to pay for my house loan, for my kids school, for utility bills, insurance, foods, entertainment etc. etc.
Sometimes I called myself Mr. OWEsome. Why Mr. OWEsome?
I am Mr. OWEsome because, every time I get my paycheck I have to pay some that I owed. Hate to admit it but it is true, and I think that I am not the only one living on a paycheck to paycheck scenario.
And with my 8 hours fixed income job as primary source of income, there is no other option but to work hard (even harder sometimes). Actually there is a huge difference between working because you need it, than working because you love it. But most of the time, we have to work because we need it.
Of course, I don’t want to live as Mr. OWEsome for the rest of my life, and I wanted to be free from my wage slave job.
I promised myself that few years from now my identity will change from being Mr. OWEsome to Mr. Awesome. (To give a short description of Mr. Awesome, he is a financially free person, who don’t work for money because money is already working for him.)
Easier said than done, but being Mr. Awesome takes a long and sometimes a painful process.
And how will I become Mr. Awesome?
By regularly investing mixed with disciplined spending, I am very optimistic that few years from now I could buy myself a freedom from my wage slave job and financial bondage.
Every time I imagine myself being free from a stressful corporate job , because I have an investment that can handle all my financial obligation is awesome.

I am looking forward to retire too (hopefully very soon) from my corporate job. I just started my investments late last year.. I can say that my investments are not yet really solid thus I still need to hang on on my current job.
