New member from San Antonio, Texas
Hi, my name is Will James and I am currently an 18 year old senior at Comfort High School (It's actually a small town near San Antonio, but putting San Antonio in the title seemed more generic) Throughout High School, I have come to realize that my financial future could be put in to a very detrimental situation, due to the fact that common schooling nowadays seems to lack teaching students about practically any financial matters. So as a result over the past year I have taken matters in to my own hands and started investing in the stock (currently learning to trade options) market, and also working on beginning a clothing line with a close likeminded friend of mine. Real estate is the next field I would like to broaden my horizons in and through a few internet searches came by this site fairly quickly. I'm looking forward to hopefully learning all I can on this site before I begin college at Texas A&M University this next fall, so that I can apply it in college, and remain well out of debt while attending.
