Hello Everyone

Hey everybody,

My name's Jimmy. I'm 19 years old and living in the Chicago area. I worked and traveled for a while after I finished high school. Recently I read Jacob's book. Currently making decisions regarding further education or vocational training. Am considering a nursing degree that I can do through my local community college; I think I can pay for the whole thing with scholarships. I'd also love to be a teacher.

I'm glad I discovered ERE relatively young before I have any expenses of my own. I live at home and bike everywhere I need to go, so I have zero expenses. I have a couple thousand dollars saved in the bank and am planning on working towards Financial Independence from now until whenever I achieve it. Not particularly interested in having kids or anything like that.

Cheers,
Jimmy

Welcome Jimmy!

If you like to read, maybe you'd find that thread inspirational?
If you could go back and give your 17 year old self one book, what would it be?
