Hi all,
I am very pleased to say that my little brother (age 17) has inherited the FI-ambition after seeing an Excel sheet with calculations on what investing 36K a year can do after 40 years.
This is a worry less as my brother will be starting his software firm from the day he turns 18 (he is a high school dropout). He is already delivering to a couple of clients, so the day he turns 18 he will get a nice lump sum. Fortunately, he will put it in Vangaurd or buy some real estate! (The real estate might be fiscally more attractive as a corporation. Anyway, it's better than buying a Volvo break as he planned to.)
I feel great today! If we will all be FI later the chances of having a family breakup will be lower...
