Hi guys,
My plan has definitely "evolved" ever since I started posting. Right now I'm in my senior year in college, and I'm not really in the hurry to become financially free like I was a few years ago. I'm more focused on the experience. That being said, I still want to become financially free relatively early in the game, although I don't have a set year. My plan (as of now anyway) is to get certified to teach English abroad after I graduate, then teach in Spain for a year to learn Spanish, and then possibly go to Hong Kong or South Korea to teach for a few years to save money.
Since I'm not really into the stock market, my plan is to either invest in real estate and/or buy a few index funds. My real estate investment analysis class uses extremely (imo) in-depth models that account for seemingly everything, and I intend on putting them to good use when the time is right.
I think index funds are a great way to get good long term gains on money without having to really track the market. I'm perfectly happy getting "average" returns to the tune of 11-12% if I spend almost no time managing the investment.
I think with the above plan I could probably be out by the time I'm 30 (I'm 21 now.) What do you guys think? Suggestions? I'm all ears.
