Hi everyone! I'm new to here and read lots of amazing posts of advices; and I would love to get some advices on my financial situation.
Just some brief info and background of me: I just turned 20, and came to the US six years ago. I am going to start my freshman year in a private college very soon, since I "dropped down" two year when I fist got here. Due to low-income, I don't need to take any student loan.
I am going to live in dorm and my family won't (couldn't) support me anything.
My prospect income would be around $10K per year, and my average expense would be around $5K (as the my financial aid package already cover my room & board). I couldn't get a job to increase my income since I couldn't claim myself as independence - if I have higher income I might need to pay more for my college.
So far, I had around $23K in bank, but no passive income or any sort of assets.
What and how should I do to build assets that, at the same time, won't increase my college tuition or expense?
I really want to retire early and begin a "new" life. Please help!
