I’m Arthur. *New to the board. *A little about myself….
29 years old. *Getting married in Oct. *I’m an accountant and have been doing it for about 7 years. *Have an MBA. *I really do not like the corporate world. * * Reason being is you bust your butt for a big company and they can let you go on a moments notice. *I’m just a number. *If that happened, I’d be no better off than the day I started. *I’d have to look for a new job and start the cycle all over again. *
Girlfriend is a physical therapist. *She loves her job so that’s good. *She also sells Mary Kay cosmetics (network marketing biz)
I’m currently thinking about ways to get out of the 9-5+ *days of the corporate grind. *I’m thinking about buying an existing business that once it runs the way I want it to… it will require a lot less effort to manage. *Basically once loans and such are paid off and the business is up and running well, I won’t have to be there as much. *I invest in the stock market and do fairly well for an amateur(I’m learning). * I am also going to begin to invest in real estate. *Bottom line, I am trying to come up with a plan to make enough money to live on without having to work in this environment.
Being an accountant I have a great grasp on our revenue and expenses and closely monitor them using MS Money. *I do analyze spending and know exactly how much is going out per month. *
I realize it will take a while and a lot of hard work but to me it’s all worth it if I am building something for myself. *I won’t be retired completely but cutting my working down to a semi-retired basis will allow me to spend more time on the things I actually like doing.
Has anyone else been in the situation I’m in now. *
-Arthur
