Plan A is to follow through with the offer I have received from UBCO, and achieve my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. I plan to network as hard as I can, and make as many connections as possible. Working hard is always a priority but even more so now. There is a multitude of opportunities for high achieving students at UBCO, and I plan to take advantage of as many as I can. Shout out UBC go global!
Web development has been a great source of income for me, and I feel that it has been input = output. I have put in the time and effort to learn and grow my skills, and I have been rewarded with a small handful of clients. As more referrals and regular clients come in, and as I continue to grow my portfolio, I truly believe that I will be able to scale my business to a point where I can support myself through school. I also plan to work part time during summers at the Society of Hope, which is a non-profit organization that helps people in need.
My financial goal is to save money and live as frugally as possible; to fund my education and my future plans. I have big dreams as you can imagine, and I want to be able to meet them. Since I will be living at home-my food, and utilities will be covered by my parents. Our deal is that as long as I go to school-food and a roof over my head will be covered.
Although I do need to do a ton more research-I plan on maxing out my TFSA as soon as I turn 19 to start building long term wealth. I plan to invest 33% in domestic index funds, 33% into american such as Blackrock and Vanguard, and 33% into international index funds. I plan to use Wealthsimple, and manage my own funds.
