Opportunity just booted me again!

This world is definately a strange place.

I was contemplating my 'Financial Freedom Fund' the other day and I figured out that if I start now and can find somewhere to get a 10% interest return and put in only $1000 a month I can have a million dollars by the time I'm 40. And that will rake in $100,000 a year by itself so I no longer have to work.

I'm already able (barely but making it ANYWAYS!) to set aside $1000 a month when I'm only making $1800 a month at my one job, so I just needed to find a way to get 10%.

I came to some conclusions.

1) This will take some research.

2) Whoever started the bank system was a genius.

3) He was also a fucking asshole.


Then I get a phone call from a guy I met wandering through my mall who took my card saying that he was just going into business for himself. I didn't remember any details. He invites me out of lunch, so I go. Then I find out he works through Primerica. A branch of Citigroup. Largest company in the world.

What do they do? They offer life Insurance, debt consolidation loans, assess peoples debt for free, offer financial planning, and access to mutual funds and investments which average a return of 12-14% per annum AFTER all the deductions for working your money FOR you.

12-14%.

More than I was orginally looking for.

Fuck Yes.

And what's better? I got offered a job. Now I can sign myself up and get PAID to sort out my own fucking finances! And I might be able to help out my friends/family a fair amount too. And get paid to help.

I love my life.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In other news, I'm going to be starting up two new accounts here on DA when I get the net back at home. The first is my Exploration account, where I'll post for all of my adventures. The second will be my stock art account.

Yes, I'm getting back into the stock art scene!

And I'm going to be bringing my gazillion implements of destruction with me.

Expect things like ninja stock with REAL ninja weapons. Things like Shuko. Oh yes, this shall be awesome!



Later all!

You could do it too. Tis eay if you can learn how to save early.

$150 a month for 7 years can turn into a $700,000 retirement fund if started at 20 years.

Yeah, but I like adding to my "personal library" too much (aka buying books) to do that. :D

Your choice. I did the same thing for a couple year and now I kick myself.

I squandered about $15k on random things and that would have easily let me retire very comfortably.

Oh well.

Now I know.

Very true. I learned to learn from others mistakes by making the same one after being warned. Seemed they knew what they were talking about. lol.

Yeah, making sure that the warn-er knows what they're talking about is a good thing. If that makes sense. XD
