Taking a Gap year.... be a millionaire by 26.

[Lights]

I thought this out deeply, back and forth, such as "you should become a doctor".. Well I want to retire young, I don't want to work forever and ever as ANYTHING, but enjoy life can give me before I'm senile and decayed. So, is college the answer? I think it helps for those who want to follow a specific career path. It isn't for me at this moment, so I am going to go to Chicago and change everything. (or NY or LA... but Chicago is a nice start, I feel glad about it, since it's not as crazy as NY but it isn't so far away from my homeland)

I might come back, but I can't guarantee that. If I can make 10 k in 3 months, I probably won't come back to college. I'm not going to burn bridges yet.... college will always be there. This is the whole rejection of family, and I am excited that I am going to take my life by the handle. I'm going to do my life's passion now. It taken a lot of time.... thinking why I am here on this planet? Is there a God? Is there heaven/hell? Should I die young?

All I know my time is limited, time is essential, it's what makes life. No amount of money will give me my youth or my time... and I can go to college/trade school in my 40s if I have to, for survival, but I want to be rich now. USA is the best place.

Well my youth is drying up as I speak, the time is now, I will never be great as I am right now.

I'm 20. But I have to become a millionaire by 26 (after that I need 10 million to retire from everything). I have 10 k saved up (o0h I worked so hard doing slave wage), but it's my money, it's my survival money to last me at least a yr. That's actually a good wad of savings, but I'll have more... Why did I choose 26? Well, I remember reading an article saying people aren't mentally adult until that age, so that's why.

I'm moving on the first week of May, 2012. Once my college is out, and I take my exams (I have a 4.0 gpa, but it still isn't bringing me happiness... I have a few W's so it's not that special).

I'll stay here on this site until I am 26. And become a success story.

So true. I write out all my plans/thoughts about wealth, it's helpful to keep track where your heading. Good luck on your goals.

Living on 10k/year?

From my experience 20k is doable, but I don't see how 10k is possible unless you live in Thailand (and even there not everywhere).

Reminds me of the story where a business man goes on vacation and sees a fisherman who every day only fished until noon then he stopped working and relaxed around the island doing things with his family.

The businessman said to him, "Why don't you fish longer then you will make more money, then you can buy more boats and hire other fisherman. Then you can become a millionaire and retire to an island where you can do what you can fish in the AM and do whatever you like with your family."

Why are you already planning your retirement when you haven't even started working? Why not find something which you can make money at as well as something which you enjoy so much you never want to retire?


You said you want to do what your life passion is. I have not seen it mentioned. What is your life passion?

From my experience 20k is doable, but I don't see how 10k is possible unless you live in Thailand (and even there not everywhere).

It's way more than enough... I don't need a vehicle which cuts a lot of the cost. I don't need a variety of foods, besides eggs (which I could eat raw like the bodybuilders) and vitamins, and I am going to get a gym membership to get my body at the leanest state it can get, which provides shampoo, showers, saunas, exercise equipment for dirt cheap prices in Chicago.

When you need to spread the wealth you can do it, how do you think poverty-stricken families do it? Besides welfare, food stamps, such.... (I don't use that... to me its like slavery. My wealth comes from me).

If you don't believe 10 k can last a yr for a single frugal lifestyle, then you should try it. It is possible, and done all the time. 10 k can probably last me 2 yrs, if I keep a tight budget.

800 a month, plenty if not more... I find ways to cut on my daily living. And none of the cuts reduce the quality, for me at least, I don't need an Ipod for happiness. Happiness for me comes from living life, seeing people, doing things, not from material possessions. I just want to be rich so I have peace of mind.

I been working since I was 17, working at a corporation is not the same as working for yourself/business. I don't want to waste my time on this planet, sleeping studying, working a minimum wage job >>> get a decent I hate/or go to medical school for luxuries. When all I want to do is live for myself.

There's no job that I could do forever, we all grow old and sick, and the body wears down.

Life's passion is the entertainment industry (all of it), I'll find a way in how to crack it right open and re-revolutionize it. I already have a plan on how to do it, realistic too. My product, is essential at this point, but I am in the fine details of it.

It's not only what I want to build, but also something people need in today's times. It's something I would say is horrible and beautiful at the same time, but a need. I can't give details about this product at the moment.

Best of luck to you.

I will give you my honest assessment. And also challenge you, some people work best when others do not believe in them.

You have worked a whole 3 years and you are already looking for retirement.

You sound like those American Idol contestants who get upset with the judges for rejecting them. They tell the camera that the judges don't know what they are talking about and they WILL become famous and become a star. I have NEVER heard or seen any them again. Have you?

You are a dreamer with a dreamers plan. 6 years from now you wont even be posting on this forum and will be working a dead end job or homeless in the USA or back in your country doing the same.

So 3/26/18 post up that you are a millionaire and prove me wrong.

 

[Lights]

I'm from the USA, when I said closer to my homeland, I meant "MI". Chicago is closer to MI than Los Angeles or Dallas (which were other cities I consider).

Hmm. I am not here to prove to anyone, but maybe inspire people in the future. In 2018, only a few members will be on here then, but they will remember me because I will keep everyone updated when I a start.

But if I set my mind to it, magic happens.

You live in the USA?

Is your first language English?

If not then your written English is very good. If English is your first language then, not meaning to sound nasty but in the interest of truthfulness your English is horrible. And this is coming from someone who can not spell and was horrible in grammar and English in school.

If you do any business I would be triple sure you have people check your website text, email text etc.

Thank you for that tip.

Today, I am reading books to help my business, and motivational books to it. The fire within in is so strong, and I made important calls today (that took me months to deal with but I got them out of the way). Contact another teacher to withdraw from his class! Life is going good so far.

I love this story! Like MJ says, time is the most important factor. If you are already chilling, and happy, good for you!

A good story needs a good ending lol. I now have to be a success (like everyone else here strives for) for this to make it happen, but I have no regrets. College is an opportunity, no doubt for people who needs a safety belt. Without a good ending, then I am just another statistic.

Life isn't going to get worse for me though, as long as I have no children, and my health stays alright.

Sock 80 hours a week in something that is your own and you will make some money. Millions, i dont know. That depends on what you decided to do.

Funny you say that, I'm actually making a documentary that follows my journey as I try to earn a million dollars in 24 months, it's entitled "Millionaire by 25". We have the same visions. I'm 23 now. I posted an official page on it on here. I started the journey 3 months ago.

It's been 5 years since Lights last logged in to the forum. I do hope she has found her way.
