I Refuse to Not Be Financially Stable At 25

[O.iatlhawksfan]

It's a good thought process but life is a marathon not a sprint. If you're not there at 25 it's doesn't mean yu won't by 35 and that's ok. What's important is building a strong foundation for success.

@Thomas

How old are you and when do you plan on being completely done with school?

I want to achieve the same thing. I'm buckling down this year and really putting in an effort.

Get into the habit of saving now (cash/stocks/both)

Wean yourself from materialism/consumerism however hard that may be

Don't have kids

Good luck

I'm 19, and I should be completely done by 23 (this includes law school).
I'm putting as much effort as I can, and I'm also trying to work on my programming/development skills to have something on the side to generate profit.
Definitely put forth the effort.

Plan B is Accounting (I'll be taking my CPA exam later this year).
Plan C is Investment Banking (thank God for my major in Economics)
Plan D is Political Analyst (I'm interning at a firm now)
Plan E is TFA into a permanent teaching job (I can go one more year at Case and get my certificate to teach, alongside being able to student teach while I'm in school)

Off ur not in ib now with internships I doubt youll get it

$50/paycheck is what I'm trying for, though I'm only making like $9/hr through work study.
I have about $400 in a 5 year bond and when I start interning full-time this summer and working part time, I'm gonna start working on a portfolio and checking out investing in my Roth IRA.
I don't really spend much on anything but food, I don't have flashy habits yet, but I do need a car, it would make everything 100x easier, and would make it much more cost-effective to live with my parents the remainder of undergrad.

JPMorgan or Keybank this upcoming fall.
If I need to take a semester at Georgetown, I'll do so.
About 4 people form my school go to iBanking every year, I have 2 connections from last year, and a bunch more for Big 4 Accounting.
I shared an office with a former Jones Day partner and have made sure to keep up contact with him.
I only have so much time

Worst case scenario, both my parents die in a fire and I catch cancer. Even then, still putting in work

The title is self-explanatory.
I don't plan on spending the majority of my 20s struggling, I'm not going to worry about paying rent, or mortgage, or school fees for children I wasn't ready for.
I'm not going to accrue a cent of debt outside of grad school loans, and I'm not going to take a lower-paying job because of "comfort" or "lifestyle."
By the time I'm my parents age, I'll have a safety-net large enough to catch me and about 20 others.

So you are going to get a scholarship for undergrad...cause you need to do that before grad school...

And your not going to take a lower paying job

So you just going to go to school for 6 - 8 straight years and come out making a ton of money

You seem to think you are the sole person in control of your destiny...

You...infact...have very little say in how your life ends up
