One day, while at the factory, the power went out and all the employees in my section got to go home for the day. Finally a night off! Shortly after I got home, my younger daughter asked me for a ride to soccer practice.
I didn't want her to be late so I was driving as fast as I possibly could in my Ford Focus to get her there on time. When I pulled in the parking lot, I noticed some smoke coming from under my hood. When I parked my car, I looked in my rearview mirror and saw the nicest Range Rover I had ever seen...
My jaw dropped and I couldn't help but check it out. I thought to myself, "How would it be to own a vehicle like that?"
Anyway, I got out of my car and walked over to watch my daughter do soccer drills with her team. When her practice ended, we got back in the car to drive home. As I was backing out of the parking stall, I wasn't paying attention and I heard a loud crack!
I couldn't believe what had happened!
I backed up right into the shiny Range Rover...
When I got out of my car, I was almost in tears. I had no idea how I was going to pay for the damage!
Suddenly, a young handsome man started walking over to his Range Rover. He looked extremely calm and collected. I started apologizing to him and all he said was "It's okay, accidents happen." and he then started to chuckle. I mean honestly, who could afford to have that expensive of a car get smashed and then chuckle about the damage?
He went on to tell me his name was Matt and that his daughter was on my daughter's soccer team.
When we exchanged insurance information, he could see how distraught I was. He told me to park my car, and said that he wanted to take me and my daughter to go get ice cream with him and a couple of the girls from my daughter's team.
I was in no state to drive so I agreed to tag along. When we all sat down and started eating, I began asking him questions about himself. The first thing I asked him is what he did for a living. He told me that he was a retired mechanic. I thought to myself,
"there is no way he is a retired mechanic!" he didn't look any older than 27 or 28.
I knew it was rude to ask, but I had to do it... I asked him how a young retired mechanic was able to afford a car like that. I was not expecting the response he gave me.
He told me that he made all his money on the Internet and that's how he was able to retire so young.
Naturally I wanted to know more so I started asking him. He told me that all he did, was refer people from one website to another by posting ads online. He made it sound very simple, but if it was as easy as he made it sound, why weren't more people doing it?
He went on to say that there are many people who try and make money on the computer at home, but almost all of them fail because they don't know what they need to do. I was surprised at how open he was with the information he was giving me. I couldn't believe the next sentence that came out of his mouth!
He asked me to come to his house and he would show me what he did. I said, "This sounds expensive." He told me that
when he started, he didn't have very much money to invest. Naturally, I was anxious to learn more.
The next day at work I could barely focus. I went to my boss and told him that I needed to take my personal day. This was a tough decision because I was only allowed one personal day a year.
When I left work, I got in my car and drove straight to the address Matt had given me. As I pulled up to the house, I couldn't believe my eyes!
This had to be one of the biggest, most luxurious houses I have ever seen! I pulled up to his electronic gate and pushed the button for the speakerphone.
About 10 seconds later, Matt's voice came on and he opened the gate for me. I slowly drove up the cobblestone driveway toward his massive home. When I parked, he was outside waiting for me. |
