What’s the deal with people who just want to be regular and have fun? Sometimes it seems like they’re too laid-back or scared to dream big. I often run into folks who have a can’t-do attitude. If you’re aiming to invest and achieve big, you’re looking for more than just being ordinary. It’s a known fact that most Americans retire with too little to feel secure.

For those who think school is just a chore, good grades are overrated, and striving for a successful career is pointless, well, you’re perfectly aligned with the regular crowd. Embracing the nonconformist life is the trend now, isn’t it? Everyone says you can live your dream life on your own terms.

Remember that classic scene from The Cosby Show? Dr. Huxtable gives his son, Theo, a reality check about getting into college and making a living with poor grades. That scene is a gold mine of life lessons about ambition, relationships, budgeting, work, taxes, career, love, and happiness.

Regular People Can Be Happy Too

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being an average Joe as long as you’re happy. You don’t need to conquer the world to find contentment. Regular folks can be just as happy. As long as you’re content with what you have and where you’re headed, that’s all that matters.

Often, there are too many voices telling you what you should or shouldn’t do. My advice? Ignore them. Live life your way because regular people are cool too. Just don’t let anyone shake you up too much, even if they think they know better.
