I haven't read any other journals so I'm not sure if there is a precedent to start. I'll start with some basic info on who I am. I'm also an INTJ personality type oddly enough.
I'm Venom. A 17 year old teen who was enlightened to FIRE at age 16. I have a job at a fast-food chain and I save more than ~80% of my income. I've currently saved up around ~$3k that will probably be gone after college.
Currently I'm a senior in high school, but going to the community college through a program at my school for technical degrees. I'm going for my Associates in Electrical Engineer Technology(glorified electrician, I hear). After doing that I will take a year of classes at the community college to fill in some gaps so I can transfer to get my Bachelors in Electrical Engineering. The program at my high school pays for my first year's tuition. After that it's FAFSA and money from me or my parents.
I enjoy powerlifting, watching my money build up, video games, reading, and thinking about serious topics such as peak oil or the Gaza conflict. Most of my money is spent on powerlifting. The purchases I've made in the past couple months include: a singlet, weightlifting belt, and weightlifting shoes. A total of ~$200 which will last ~5 years meaning I get around ~$20 per year. That's something I picked up from the ERE book .
I'm going to lay out some goals relating to anything right now
- Get hired as maintenance man for a local real estate agency.
- Recover from strained knee ligaments.
- Deadlift 365 for 2 sets of 3 reps by end of this year.
- Bench 245lbs by the end of this year.
- Save 90% of paychecks from August 'till... forever?
- Start a YouTube channel to journal my fitness journey
- Get my Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering and not EET
- Graduate college with zero debt!!!
- Write my guide to sustainable diet for obese teenagers.(I was obese from age 7-15)Publish it via Amazon
