Hi everyone,
I want to start off by saying what an amazing forum this is. I finally have a platform to share my thoughts with like-minded people trying to escape the mediocrity of the 9-5. This is truly a blessing.
Ever since I was in kindergarten, I've sought to fulfill my wildest dreams and experience the best parts of life. I don't know what it was, maybe it was the things that my mother consumed when she had me, or maybe it was the environment I grew around and the people that I had to listen to, but one thing was very clear to me: I always had the dying urge to do something with my life.
As I grew older, I accepted society's conformity. Things like going the traditional route of college and accepting a job where I would have to work for 40 years and save my money until I'm able to retire. But there were some thoughts that would have me awake at night and stressed me out. Thoughts like "wait, so I have to work for 40 years just to only enjoy 20 years left of my life until I die? There's got to be more to life than this!"
And so I seek. I seek anything that could help me stop this acceptance of mediocrity. I couldn't accept the fact that I was bound to be at the office M-F for 40 years. Hell no! So I come here today in front of my newfound like-minded brothers and ask for any advice or suggestions I should incorporate into my life. What adjustments would you recommend to me to navigate through my personal life?
Here are some things about me:
-18-year-old male
-currently an intern at a mid-size accounting firm
-My current plan is to save $25,000 in an emergency fund in case I lose my job or need to quit.
-My current expenses are housing rent, gas, food, and personal expenses that total to around $1000 a month
-Currently getting paid $800 per paycheck working 30-35hrs a week
-Currently in community college looking to transfer to a 4-year
-Current debt is at $0
-Current savings is only $2000
-Currently, have $7000 in index funds
If there is anything readers here would like to add, please do so! I want to become better. I will become better. I need to become better.
Thank you!
