Hello, I am just a normal person wanting to be wealthy. The idea of being rich does not motivate me, but the feeling that something can be achieve from the bottom challenges me. And hopefully, the journey of mine to my first million dollars can be documented here.
Today, I applied for a brokerage account in the US. I'm planning to invest in foreign markets. Simply because its easier for me to open an account. In the Philippines, I still have to go to the office of the broker firm. So I'm just waiting for my account to be activated.
My Goal and Why am I doing This?
As a child, we have never been wealthy. My grand parents were wealthy but we are not dependent on them. Thus me, spending my childhood life in a public school and growing up with the slum kids. Its not something I hate my grandparents for, just one thing to see how I view things.
College life comes, I still need to work while studying. I don't like the idea of working and then studying. Its too much work and me being stressed out. If I only have the money, I will not work. But things are not easy for the poor like me. I never hated that experience, it taught me to be creative and think of ways to earn without working.
Graduation comes, I managed to land a job. A good job. In a good company. Things are going pretty well. And any middle class family would be proud of what I have accomplished so far. But for me, its not about the money. Life is about life. We should enjoy like while we still can. Experiencing such hellish college life with work and school made me wonder if I all of these work are worth it, at the end of the day. And I realize that its not. Working in a good company, with a good salary is not something I would want to do for the rest of my life.
What I want
I want to travel the world. Meet gorgeous women. Experience different things. Things that a 9 hour day job would not give me aside from team building outings and party on a friday night. Its not a good thing to spend our only chance in this world. I want to travel the world.
So here is my journey to reaching my 1 million dollars. My 1 million dollars invested in income generating assets that could fund my travels. Without me working but still money coming in. I plan to invest in the stock market doing this. Picking only income generating stocks.
I'm here for the long term. So if you also want the same road that I want to take. Sit back and relax. We have a long journey ahead of us.
