[nABEntre] Advice

Mon Aug 24 14:40:18 UTC 2020

Hello,
Here is a good list of top paying jobs and how to get them:
https://wellkeptwallet.com/jobs-to-get-rich/

If you're really ambitious , you can get over 10M, but most people don't
need over 3M in assets, including retirement ($180,000 a year at a 6%
return, not to mention the 3M itself).
Run the numbers for yourself and see where you want to go. Number 1
personal finance goal is to set 10 year goals with exact numbers, then go
down and make 5 year, 3 year, 1 year, and 6 month goals.
We need more blind people doing the above jobs, so don't think you'd be
giving up doing one of those positions, It's going to be hard, but it is
impossible to have a business without people who want to buy what you have.
(Actually, once you get the skills for most of those jobs, you can start a
business using that skill, and there are probably people or businesses who
will pay for it).

SSI is amazing for paying your way through school, it's amazing for being a
lifeline so you can fail, and there are a lot of ways to fund college if
you're a blind person.

Read the Millionaire next door, Your Money or your Life, and the blog 20
Something Finance for more information.
Thanks,
