Brief Introduction
Hey !!! I decided to document my journey to financial freedom. This is more of a journal for myself but if you want to follow along that would be great. I am going to make every post as brief as possible because i’m sure my future self wouldn’t want to read several pages of me blabbing on.
Current Situation
Currently I am 27 and I don’t have a lot of money π¦ I even have student loans to pay (WACK). My current Net worth is roughly about $$. I recommend that we should all create a balance sheet with assets and liabilities to see where we stand. I graduated university in 2016, worked for about 3 years at a bank, (35k salary before taxes), started my MBA in fall 2019 and I will be graduating this December 2021. My salary has increased since I started my MBA. My first co-op job paid me about $$ bi-weekly, the second paid me roughly $$ bi-weekly and the current one pays me $$ bi-weekly. With the recent jobs, I have been able to save and invest money and that is basically why I currently have a positive net-worth. You may be wondering, what happened to all the money I made prior to my MBA. Well, in short let’s just say I had nothing saved up. I will make another post documenting how I got myself into debt, and the terrible financial decisions I have made so far.
P.S. I removed the specific amounts for privacy reasons.
