Quarter Century Update!
« on: July 21, 2014, 02:29:47 PM »
Hi all!

I recently turned 25 and wanted to share what I've accomplished so far!

Assets:
 
1 Bd Rental Condo: $50k
Cash value of pension: $3.5k
401k: $1k
Roth IRA: $6.5k
Savings for downpayment: $12k

Liabilities:

Credit Card at 0% : 2k

I got paid about $35k at my job. Just recently got a raise to around $42k. I paid off my condo earlier in the year and clear about $500   a month after all bills. I currently live with my parents to save for a downpayment on a rental property I want to buy next year.

My goal is to get to 30 with $150k in retirement accounts and have 2 more rentals. Thank you all for the sharing your badassity and making me realize that I can be pretty badass too!

Pretty close to where I was at your age.  You are certainly on the right track. In a few more years,  once compounding really starts to take hold, your assets will grow faster than you ever could have imagined!

Well done! You're in almost the exact same position as I was at 25 a couple of years ago.

Nice.  That's a great start, and it'll begin to snowball faster and faster from here!  :)
I am a former teacher who accumulated a bunch of real estate, retired at 29, spent some time traveling the world full time and am now settled with three kids.
