I joined when I was 16. I'll be turning 21 in less then a month...
It's been a long time and it's frikkin awesome to be back. Anyways, I'm not here to give you my life story. But to share progress, and more importantly, propose two questions to the fellow young bucks (under 25s) on the forum.
a)How much of your income do you save?
b)And how much do you have saved up?
One of my main goals this year is to save over 75% of my monthly job income while I build my fastlane vehicle. It's going well so far. And If I continue at this rate I should be set for 9K saved up by the time I'm 22. Yeah, it's nothing major. But it's a decent amount of "F*ck you" money, and enough to plant some firm fastlane seeds.
Sure beats taking 30k loans out for a shitty college degree, don't you think?
I mean, here's how I see it...
Hardcore saving while you're young, kicks the absolute shit out of being 30 years old with little to no savings and no financial backbone.
Who here under 25 (I assume people over that age are already more money wise) wants to save along with me so we can hit the ground running once we transition into the fastlane?
Apart from having money in the frikking bank, you'll also learn some important fastlane principles on the way like:
*How to ruthlessly control expenses (essential for running any future business)
*Cultivating extreme discipline and training yourself to be process minded, instead of a pussy "event addict" who needs easy wins.
*Not bending to your social environment and following the slumbering masses. Most people our age love to spend and forget about saving. Don't be like them. Save. Let people call you cheap, develop some thick skin, and prosper later while they stay shackled to financed cars and mortgage payments.
You with me?
Good!
Post your saving goals for January 13/01/18.
Include how much you'll save per month to hit your target. Then post to this thread each time you add a chunk to your savings. Let's chip away at earning our freedom!
I'll go first

Goal for Jan 13/01/18:
Have 10K saved squirreled away. To do this I'll be stashing 250 out of 340/week, every week for the rest of the year.
