Hello from Portland, OR

[Joshua Harvey]

Hello fellow people. I discovered this site last night when I should have been sleeping, when I was researching passive income. I'm completely new to investing, other than generally understanding how the math works, so I'm probably going to be relying heavily on the community here. My goal is to build enough passive income that I can leave land behind and sail around the world and never return to land.

A little about myself: I'm 19, living with friends and paying rent, working a minimum wage job and not really having a lot of financial freedom to save or invest. I've decided I want to change that, though, which is why I'm here! The way I see it, I don't have any resources (or credit, yet), but I also don't have any responsibilities, so if I fail miserably, the only person who loses is myself, and I have plenty of time to recover.

Anyway, hello everybody! Hopefully I can make this work with your help!
