Another day in the rat race...

It's Monday. Again. Another week of working my life away, padding someone else's pockets. Making my measley paycheck that disappears before I even see it. I'm exhausted.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful to be working. I just wish I was working to get somewhere. The older I get and the more I learn, the more I realize that a job is never going to get me off this hamster wheel.

Which is why I'm always on the lookout for other possibilties and that's how I learned about stacking precious metals and about investing in cryptocurrencies.

As a small (very small) time investor, I know I'll never be rich but I believe with careful planning, lots of patience and I little risk, I could (maybe someday) build a small amount of wealth for myself and my children.

This morning, as I sat outside my job, I made two small purchases that I hope will eventually see some gains. I spent $12. Less than I would have spent on lunch at McDonald's. I bought a tiny amount of BTC and ETH to go along with my LTC and soon some XRP and STR.

My plan is to buy a little here and there when I can afford to do so and hope for the best. This fits my lifestyle. It's small enough amounts that I won't miss it but, overtime, it will add up and, if all goes well, could bring me a nice little slice of the pie.

How do you plan your investments? Are you focusing soley on cryptocurrencies or do you seek out other oppurtunities? How are you planning your escape from the rat race?
