My Father-In-Law Ran The New York Marathon

I wanted to share with you a personal story. This past Sunday, I watched my father-in-law complete the ING New York City Marathon for the second year in a row.



As I observed the 38,000 people running through the city I call home, I was reminded of the proverbial rat race, and some interesting statistics.

The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services found that if you take 100 people at the age of 26, and project them into the future at age 65...

36 are dead, 54 are dead broke, 5 are still working, 4 are financially secure, and only 1 is wealthy.

And that brings me back to my father-in-law. In his early fifties, he's the epitome of the American dream - that elusive rags-to-riches story. He grew up in the poor section of the city, helping his family make ends meet by working in his family's restaurant.

Decades later, he's found his niche as a successful computer programmer and now drives a Porsche 911 Turbo (starting price - $126k). He lives in a big house in the suburbs, with the 3-car garage also housing a Lexus SUV and a BMW.



I'm telling you this because even with this level of success, he still needs to work to maintain the lifestyle he's become accustomed to. In order to afford that 50+ inch flat-screen hanging in the living room, and the cases of wine, and the new deck... my father-in-law still has to spend hours in front of the computer.

Fortunately for him, he truly loves what he does. He breathes and sleeps computer code.

Most of us don't have that luxury of loving what we do, AND being compensated extremely well for it. Often, we're forced to swap our time (time with family, time on vacation, time nurturing ourselves) for our paycheck.

We trade our hours for the almighty Dollar
(or Euro, or other currency).

But every now and then something comes along that has the ability to free us from that daily grind - if we're intelligent enough to see that opportunity before us.

You stand at one such critical juncture now.
