Where I am heading

Posted in Blog at 5:52 am by admin

If you read the post below, you know where I came from. My dream is to get rich, really rich. You probably know how slim my chances are. Will the job after graduation pay me enough to become a millionaire?.

In December 2005, I realized something very important. How many employees are actually millionaires? If I followed the main stream and worked hard, would that make me rich? The answer to my questions where NO. Both my parents studied hard and graduated with good grades. They have worked hard their entire life, but have nothing else than their house (which has a huge mortage) to show for it. Why would I get a different result if I did the exact same thing as them? I had to do something different.

I spent about a day thinking before I realized that what I need to become rich was not a high paying job. I need passive income, money that comes into my pocket no matter what I do.

This is my quest, this is what I am working for. I will spend my next years to build up my asset column. Instead of buying the next computer game, or instead of going to the movies, I will take that money and invest it. It may be in stocks, real estate, it may be in a website, or whatever I think that will put money back into my pocket. I may go bankrupt by doing this, but I will take that risk. What I do promise, is that I will do my very best, and I will blog about every step I take. If I succeed and become a millionaire you will know exactly how I did it. If I fail, you will know what you shoudnt do.

Will I ever be able to sail the Mediterranean in a private yacht? I am freezing in Norway at the moment.

Where I came from

Posted in Blog at 5:51 am by admin

Since the day I was born, I always wanted to be rich. My parents told me to go to school, work hard and get good grades. Then I would get a secure job with a high salary, and my dream would come true. I was a slacker at school and didn’t get any good grades. In fact, I had the lowest grades in my entire class. The doors that once where open, where now closed by my own laziness.

After serving my mandatory military service in the Norwegian navy, I got a job as a taxi driver. It was long hours and my paycheck was low. I could see myself living in a lousy apartment with a low-paying job for the rest of my life. I envied the rich, and I wanted more money. I wanted to be financially free.

In 2004, I was accepted at a private school that teaches computer (3D Animation). It costs about $ 11000,00 pr year. I needed a government student loan to pay for this education, but I will receive a bachelor degree if I graduate.
