Hi guys,
I got the dating part of my life handled, now it´s time to handle the financial part. After I read the book "rich dad poor dad" (I know becoming rich isn´t as easy as described in the book) I developed an inner drive to get as much financial education as possible. In the last few weeks I read quite a few books on investing in the stock market and how to make some cash through the internet. I´m originally from Germany, but I´ll be moving to SoCal soon to go to community college there. I´m planning on studying marketing and sales because I think it´s useful and I´m also really interested in it. My biggest fear and also motivation to improve is not to live a mediocre life and I wanna be wealthy before I turn 28 (I´m 18 right now). By wealthy I mean being able to have a lot of time and living from the interest my bank pays me and keep up a decent lifestyle. I know I have a lot to learn and I don´t know what the business world is really like, yet. However I know I got the drive and somehow I don´t have any doubts that I´ll achieve my goal.
A little background:
I´m 18 and I´m gonna be living in Santa Barbara soon where housing is really expensive. My parents are gonna come up for the rent though. I´ll get about 500$ of cash every month from them. We´re a upper middle class family.
Here is how I wanna get started:
- save as much money as possible
- invest in assets (laptop, car, books, stuff to buy low and sell high)
- get to know as many people as possible (It´s not what you know, it´s who you know)
- write and sell ebooks
- become a German tutor to get some extra cash
- use part of the holidays to get some practical work experience in a business
- try to get a rich gf
...okay, that´s all for now. Any criticism or suggestions on what else I could do to get a good foundation for the long path to financial independence?
thx in advance!
