Hello ER! I'm a 25 y/o male who's about four months from becoming an RN and possibly 6 months from working in california. After discovering this community I developed the goal of being financially independent (not needing to work, having option of retiring) by 45. I think this is possible if I really hammer away at investing, working extra shifts, and keeping my lifestyle in check.
I'm currently at home (not enjoying it, but it made financial and practical sense while in nursing school), and would probably look to stack up a few months expenses before striking out and renting an apartment with a few roomates to keep costs low. This would allow me to hopefully save a nice down payment on a decent starter home.
I have NOTHING invested currently, and my starting income would be roughly 50k, possibly 60k and increasing to possibly 80-90k from there. This is a rough estimate I've received from family members who work as RNs in different parts of the state.
I'm not currently married, so no kids, and I don't think I have a desire to have kids.
I'd also like this post to serve a goal statement:
-I WILL be able to retire early, hopefully in my forties.
-I WILL have a house paid for before 40, if I desire to own.
-I WILL, by the time I pass on, have enough money to bless many, many deserving people, hopefully enabling them to bless others still.
Possibly most important:
-I WILL live a fruitful life, enriching the lives of those around me, and enjoying life as it was meant to be: free of financial stress!
I think that covers the big points, I'll update later if not. Thanks for taking the time to read my inaugural post!
Cheers!
