New goals, new life starts now. (Chicagoland)
Hi Everyone,
So I've been back in the States for about a year a couple of months after living abroad.
Living abroad has open my eyes to creating new goals in my life.
I used to think I want to live debt free (almost there, minus student loans).
My current goal is to live Financially Free, to be free of a JOB and to focus on what I find important.
2018 is the year of beginnings for me.
-I got engaged this year.
-I have a new goal I want to achieve.
-I want to look back and say 2018 is when I changed my life.
I'm just sharing so I don't lose the motivation over the next year or two.
So far I've just been saving for the wedding not investing yet.
(If anyone has been in the same boat as me please share ideas for saving for multiple events.)
*Shameless plug below.
(If anyone needs help with some odd jobs in the Chicagoland area let me know. The wedding isn't paying itself. haha)
Investing goals
My first goal is to buy a duplex/3plex/4plex once I get married and house hack it.
Eventually, I want to own a few multi-homes and create passive income to live on.
I'll probably focus on Illinois and Indiana since I spend most of my time in these areas then branch out.
Nice meeting everyone.
I enjoy reading everyone's post as it motivates me to see successful people.
