My current life situation looking for similar people
I am going to me 19 in a few days. I am a highschool drop out. I Got some HS diploma from a non accredited school. I have saved $7,500 since September of 2018. I have lived off of 300 dollars a month since september. I just bought my mom a $1,200 pair of earrings for mothers day. I would still smoke weed (but cant and wont) and chase my goals but I need a CDL to make my dreams happen. I need the boost in income. I work in a grey iron foundry in the land of no job oppurtunity other than commercial driving. When I have $10,000 in 2 months im gonna quit the foundry job and get the cdl and pass all the drug tests. Then, I will pour all of my income into real estate investing so that I can move to a legal state and quit truck driving forever. I currently cashflow $1,500 a month from my earned income. That is what I keep because I starve myself and spend the least amount of money as possible. Is there anything more i can do to achieve my goals or am i wasting my time? Is my plan good? I am the only person i know $7,500. I am the only person I know in this situation. Im am the only person I know who lives like this. Any information you can give me will be appreciated. Thanks for reading. I know this was a long post. I am not trying to ask for a mentor i just wanted to put myself out there and try to find people in the same situation or similar to me.
