" "A Slowlane guru preaches that a $10,000 investment grown at 15% will be worth over $2.5 million dollars in 40 years!!! Hooray!!! What don’t they tell you? They don’t tell you that a 15% return year-after-year is impossible unless you invest with Bernie Madoff or Charles Ponzi. They don’t tell you that in 40 years you’ll be dead, and if you’re not, you’ll be close. They don’t tell you that in 40 years, your $2.5 million will likely be worth $250,000 in today’s dollars and that a pack of gum will cost $6.00. They don’t tell you that this method of wealth acceleration is NOT what they use. They don’t tell you plenty, and yet you’re supposed to believe it without question.

Women wouldn't date me because I broke the professional, “college-educated” mold the fairy tale espoused.
Going Fastlane and building momentum will require you to turn your back at the people who fart headwinds in your direction. You have to break free of society's gravitational force and their expectations. If you aren't mindful to this natural gravity, life can denigrate into a viscous self-perpetuating cycle, which is society's prescription for normal: Get up, go to work, come home, eat, watch a few episodes of Law and Order, go to bed … then repeat, day after day after day.
This experiment, conducted by the Washington Post, uncovers something compelling — and disturbing. Not even the most fantastic musician in the world can illuminate the blinding depths of the rat race and those suffocating by its indifference. Has making a living made you so apathetic that the living has been sucked out of you?
