No Problem, I have just turned 18, so im on the browse for a property at the moment. I have secured a Cadetship with a reputable building company in Brisbane, who will pay for my uni fee’s and train me up to be a Project Manager. (these are normally offered to 3rd and 4th year students)

I feel that for my age, i have a good start and with the correct additude i should be able to achieve what i’ve set out to do.
Therefore in answer to your question, I am only just begining the practical side of it, i have studied investing for numerous years and now am ready to take the plunge. My only advantage over others is my age, I am starting young, and will be finished while im still young ‘hopefully’ [biggrin]

When I wake up in the morning and can decide then and there ‘if’ I want to work that day or not.
My dad gets to do that on a regular basis, with him only having to work 4 days every month.

Technically I think ‘rich’ means: When you work because you enjoy it, not because you need the money. Therefore I’m not referring to just financially rich as the most three important things in life are being: Happy, Healthy and Wealthy (in that order).

Not a bad mentality for an 18 year old aye [whistle]

But the majority of you will be after a numerical figure.
So when i have hit 8 digits and can live off a passive income with a good lifestyle.

I hope to be financially ‘set’ by the age of 27, so i have 9 years [biggrin] Bring it on!!

I have contemplated starting one in QLD, or even at a national level. But im currently studying and dont have the computer skills to create some form of message board.

But getting Young, Motivated and like minded people together for regular meetings in which we can learn and gain experience from older/experienced investors is what i am thinking of trying to achieve.

If you’d like to talk more about this you can reach me on msn, [email protected]

Hey Guys,
Long time reading, first time poster

I’m extremely disappointed that I missed this meet, as I’m sure my dad and I would have enjoyed it.

Will these meetings become a regular occurrence or was it a one off?

Abit about myself:
I’m only 18 at the moment, but keen to enter the property market (with the help of my parents) which some of you may see as taking the easy route etc… But they have been in the game for the majority of their life, and with current prices in QLD/Gold Coast they feel that giving me a leg up will entice me to start my portfolio at a young age. I have discussed this is great depths with my dad and I think realistically I should be ‘capable’ of retirement at the age of 30, but I’m striving to do it by the age of 27, as that’s been my mentality & goal since I was around 10.

Cheers,
Felix
