Your Goals

[Richard Feynman]

My goal posts keep shifting as I'm exposed to more ideas, people and opportunities.

A decade ago I set a goal of earning $100,000 a year by 40 (from my job). I used to think that was a lot of income. It seems ridiculously conservative now.

This is what I said just over a year ago:

Have PPOR paid off and the option to retire by age 40

Now:

Short term I want to be "able" to retire before I'm 31. I won't stop working when I'm able to though.

Longer term, I aim to amass an 8-figure portfolio.

And before I cark it, I'd like to be able to use my wealth to positively affect the lives of a lot of people. And I do mean a lot.

Dave, better to party in your 20s and 30s. Even if you're in you're financially free in your 40s, you probably won't be bothered with partying.

I've observed that most people who reach financial independence quite young don't just stop and kick back. Whilst they have a great lifestyle, they still work very hard.

I didnt mean literally!
