Questioning the 10 point plan

Questioning the 10 point plan

The American dream:

1. Graduate high school
2. Go to college
3. Start your career
4. Get married
5. Buy a house
6. Have children
7. Watch them grow up
8. Send them off to college, then to start their careers
9. Become a grandparent
10. Retire, travel, and enjoy life



The alternative:

I love seeing more and more articles popping up about people questioning the 10 point plan we've been socialized to follow to the letter. Tomorrow it will be exactly one year when I boarded a plane headed for South America for a couple months. Man, time flies! I'm cracking up now thinking of my dad's reaction when I told him I'd be gone for 2 months. He was like "What??? That's a hell of a long vacation!" I told him, "I'm not vacationing, I'm traveling."

I prefer:

1. Graduate high school while swooping mad girls
2. Go to college and swoop mad girls
3. Start your career and swoop mad girls
4. Buy a house and swoop mad girls in it
5. Travel all over the world swooping mad foreign girls
6. Retire, travel, and enjoy life with a bunch of Spanish girlfriends in a small Spanish fishing village

Word,

Never really thought of it as a ten point plan, but that makes perfect sense, and pretty much sums up what is supposed to be the "American Dream" (esp. for white peeps). I guess there is nothing wrong with it per se, but it's just too mainstream and boring of an existence for me personally, I think I'm seriously about to take a year off to travel the world sometime in the near future. I like your alternative lifestyle plan, especially the "retirement" when you get to that age.

My exact plan. Well said. Except it will not be a small village but Barcelona, Girona, Valencia, San Sebastian,, somewhere on the coast anyways.

So true. It's not only an American plan, but in most Western world too. The worst thing is the peer pressure to get married. I'm 29 and my younger brother got married a few months ago and I have been bombarded by everyone I know whether it be relatives, friends or acquaintances with the same question: what are you waiting for? You don't know what you're missing" type of comments. I'm getting sick and tired of it. I realized long ago that I simply can't be a one woman man. I love women too much and I love having a variety of women around me. People have a very hard time understanding it.

Same goes for the plan described above. Graduate college, get a job, settle in and all that boring crap that follows. When I tell people that I make my money on the internet, they think I'm some scammer or some goof spending all my time sitting at home playing games online. I simply gave up explaining to people what I do. I simply tell them I'm a marketing consulting or a web designer, that is something that they can understand and relate to, as opposed to being an online marketer, which they don't.

I think the bottom line is that people are not ok with seeing other not following the same path, be like them and everyone else. As soon as you or someone decide to think outside the box, do things differently, then you become a danger, a threat and a menace to them. They don't like that you're doing things differently. They don't like that you're daring to be in control and not being a sheep like the rest. I've given up on the Plan a loooong time ago. My plan is to leave on Sept 1 or at the latest, on October 1 for an undetermined amount of time travelling around the world.

5. Check - started this Nov. 1998 First Stop: Argetina, followed by Brazil, Colombia and many more...
6. Ummm...Don't know about this one - I've had a bunch of Spanish girlfriends since I was 12 - losing my virginity at 14 to a Puerto Rican Chic in new York - who was 3 years my senior...my grandfather left me a small house right off the coast of Honduras in his will - a small fishing village on the island of Roatan.... I guess now I want a bunch of young, college white girls on spring break in my little fishing village :-)


Hummm...I think I'm set here guys - and would not have it any other way!!!

Like Morpheus told Neo: "Welcome......... to the real world"
