Go to college to get the degree to land the job to make the money to buy the house to retire early to live a life of comfort and security.
That’s the “American Dream” flavored kool-aid we’ve been drinking for the last 70 years. In ’69, this was a sure fire way to live the good life.
But what happens when you blindly follow that path today? Most of the time, you end up stuck.
Stuck in a boring town that’s not as cool as it used to be. Rooted down by a house that’s too big of a pain to sell. Working a job you’re too scared to leave because you don’t know what else you could do.
Think it’s too late to make a change? Then you need to listen to Michael Ellsberg on today’s episode of Renegade Radio.
