Millennials don’t have it as easy as we like to think. Recent college graduates deal with a slew of financial stresses thanks to the state of the U.S. economy and it appears that buying real estate is only one of those stresses. It feels nearly impossible to attend college without incurring some amount of student debt, and the job market, while improving, is still challenging. It’s hard to start a life and find success if you can’t find a job with that new degree.  If you can't find a job, then you sure can't buy a first home much less invest in real estate.

Sometimes we all need a little bit of motivation. Football players watch Rudy, runners listen to the theme music from Chariots of Fire, and artists stroll the halls of the Louvre to draw inspiration from the masters. Whatever your occupation or field of interest, it's important to stay motivated. The right motivation can keep us from becoming stagnant, which is vital, for stagnation leads to mediocrity.
