I& #39;m 25 now and that means i& #39;m five years from 30

With 5 years left to make a million

I promised i would tell you my portfolio value at 500 followers

but Let& #39;s get through this thread https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread"> about how I got here

I came here from the Bahamas https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇧🇸" title="Flagge der Bahamas" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge der Bahamas"> in early 2016.

My mindset had already shifted by then and i& #39;d already read books like

- Rich Dad Poor Dad
- The richest man in Babylon
- Cashflow Quadrant
When i came to america i attended seminars about real estate etc

I had a desire to be wealthy and i still do

I tried my hand at wholesale but i never really grasped the concept

I didn& #39;t have credit or credit cards either
Then i got a job

it didn& #39;t pay much but it was honest.

My family didn& #39;t know it at the time but i was on track to becoming more frugal than they could handle

My first pay check was $610.26

i remember because is saved $61.26
I quickly realized saving 10% wouldn& #39;t get me very far

so the more promotions i got, the more i got paid, the more i saved

until i hit my first $1000 saved

What a rush https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤩" title="Vom Star geblendet" aria-label="Emoji: Vom Star geblendet">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤩" title="Vom Star geblendet" aria-label="Emoji: Vom Star geblendet">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤩" title="Vom Star geblendet" aria-label="Emoji: Vom Star geblendet">

i couldn& #39;t stop saving!
I also wanted to start learning how to make more money

So i started investing

I went from

$1000 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts"> 5000

$5000 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts"> $7000

$7000 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts"> $10,000

Now i& #39;m on track to have $30,000 by the end of the year, invested!!
Questions my family would ask me:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts"> Why don& #39;t you have a car yet?

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts"> Why don& #39;t you spend some money?

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts"> What are you saving for?
Questions strangers would ask me:

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts"> Why are you always wearing the same clothes?

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="➡️" title="Pfeil nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Pfeil nach rechts"> When are you moving out?

I didn& #39;t answer a single one of them

i just kept my head down and kept doing was i was doing

Now that i& #39;ve turned 25, i know i& #39;m still lacking a few things

- A side hustle
- Emergency fund
- a rocking bod
My girlfriend says people are inspired by me but i can& #39;t understand why

People should look over at @CJ_Johnson17th
@NoTimeZone_

True inspirations

i wish i followed them all those years ago.

I& #39;ve been active on twitter since July and my world has changed
But that& #39;s it about me

it& #39;s October 10th and i turned 25 years old https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎉" title="Partyknaller" aria-label="Emoji: Partyknaller"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥳" title="Partying face" aria-label="Emoji: Partying face">

To be honest i feel like i& #39;m missing out sometimes but that doesn& #39;t matter

and it certainly won& #39;t matter when i& #39;m rich. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Zwinkerndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Zwinkerndes Gesicht">
