I Am Fifteen, What Can I Do Now?
Hello everyone,
Today I signed up for BiggerPockets. I am a fifteen year old boy living in Texas, and my name is Adrian. I don't know if I'm posting this in the right thread, so please tell me if I'm not.
I have this constant fear of not knowing what to do when I graduate. I have had this issue since (haha) sixth grade, and I am a sophomore this upcoming school year. Architecture and homes in general have always caught my attention, as well as the tiny house movement.
Bottom line is, I wanted to know if anyone had ideas of what I could do now to prepare. I've been debating on joining the Air Force when I graduate, but I feel being controlled and moved around a lot with a very small pay wouldn't be a good idea.
A few questions-
1. Should I go to college for investing, or any type of finance degree? Would it help me?
2. Is there anything I can do now, at fifteen, turning sixteen in December? Keep in mind, I only have 900 dollars that I'm saving for a car. I can't get a job until I get a car.
3. Are there any books or media that I should take a look at?
Gosh, I'm just really worried. I've always been that way- very organized and always have a plan. My ultimate goal is to be able to live without the fear of finances weighing on my back. I'm going to be reading BiggerPocket's Ultimate Guide to Real Estate Investing, but I would very much appreciate any help anyone could give me on where to start. Thank you.
