Actually I might be interested in some Irish investment properties if you've got any good recommendations? I hear the sector is just about to return to boomtown over there.Yeah, you're fucked - Greek Bonds. Maybe you can turn your luck around with Ireland and Portugal. I say sell all your assets and invest in this.
I kinda wish I did thisLOL I started saving birthday money and new year since birth, scholarship, work and etc. That's why.
Ballin'It's really interesting to look at this thread because I remember doing something similar back when I was 19 and fresh out of school, about to start an accounting cadetship and startng to accumulate a HECS debt.
Age: 24
Money in bank: 6 figures (saving up for a deposit on a house as currently renting in CBD)
Assets: Investments (not counted in $ terms as these use a margin facility); just bought a new Mercedes C class; several computers/iPhone4/S/meaningless technology gizmos.
Area of study: B Comm, GradDipCA
Loans: Just paid off my HECS before October last year to get the 10% bonus; aforementioned margin facility
Job: full time employed in an accounting firm; currently working in the NY office
Have to admit things did improve in 5 years. Not trying to brag but just wanted to show that if you're 18/19 and feel that things look pretty grim, work hard and give it time.
wait so you are currently working in New York? also is that 6 figures you have all from your own savings or did your parents contribute to it?It's really interesting to look at this thread because I remember doing something similar back when I was 19 and fresh out of school, about to start an accounting cadetship and startng to accumulate a HECS debt.

I'm on a secondment to my firm's New York office. And it's from my own savings and investments over the past 5 and a half years. If I didn't spend so much on cars/mods/racing I would have saved a lot more but alas, I put money into hobbies which don't offer much return It was fun though.wait so you are currently working in New York? also is that 6 figures you have all from your own savings or did your parents contribute to it?
