Delayed Gratification Is a Key Ingredient to Building Wealth
Hello, sir. Thank you for having me. I really appreciate it. Sure.
The Ramsey Show
Delayed Gratification Is a Key Ingredient to Building Wealth
Yeah, so I'm kind of in a little bit of a dilemma. I've been with my current company. I've been with them for 10 years now. I started with the company when I was in my mid-20s. Me and my wife were having a kid at the time. We're like, okay, this seems like a good option for us. They have really good benefits. I've had good medical care. I have a great time off, flexible schedule.

But the pay has been lacking. And 10 years down the line, I still have the same job I started with. I was hoping with this particular company, there'd be growth opportunities, ways to move up, and it just hasn't happened. So I kind of feel like I work myself or back myself into a corner being with the company for so long.

So I want to know, like, what do you think the possible options are to possibly move away from this company? Or because the benefits are so good, do I stick it out for a little bit longer? Kind of my dilemma, do I move forward or do I just move on?
The Ramsey Show

Yeah, so it was this particular field. So I currently work, I guess you can call it a customer service role. I've been doing that for 10 years. Well, I kind of thought this company is so big, it's got a good name for itself. If anything, it's going to look great on a resume.

I was like, I would, I mean, the dream scenario, I would love to own my own business someday.
The Ramsey Show

If I were in a management position in that same particular field, I would have been happy with that.
The Ramsey Show
Delayed Gratification Is a Key Ingredient to Building Wealth
Yeah, yeah, I have. I've had the same answer for quite a while and we've had those conversations and I have moved or done rotational roles that only last for like six to nine months. I've tried those opportunities and I've unfortunately haven't really accumulated or current into anything beyond that.
