nice thread, and some very inspirational stories.
2000
- was 14, so still in school. would have weighed around 50-something kilos back then. was in the early 60's by year 12
- working at hj's for $5/hour
- took out my first term deposit (think early investing lol)
2010
- weighing almost 100kgs now
- working in government for ok money
- saved up a decent amount of money
- have just scratched the surface of investing with managed funds (not ideal I know...)
by 2020
- well, a lot i want to have accomplished by then. i will be a millionaire at least, hopefully a multi-millionaire.
- 95kgs very lean (should hit this much sooner)
- wife
my life is kinda at the crossroads at the moment tho. i am currently studying to become an actuary, but while i think that line of work would greatly interest me, i wouldn't be fully qualified for another 3 years or so. and in that time, it is quite possible that i could be financially secure if i spent that time learning how to invest instead.
alternatively, i could become an investment banker much sooner (start of next year potentially), but from all accounts, this would provide a huge salary but at the cost of long hours, hence limiting my time to work on investing in property etc.
