Purpose of this blog
The purpose of this blog is a medium in which I can share with anyone who is interested my goals, objectives, interests and opinions. I will mostly write about personal finance and investing as that is most important to me at this stage. Im sure my financial situation is like many other Canadians my age, I am 27 and hope to buy a condo in 2 years and retire early.
Life started for me after completing my undergraduate in 2000. I was very fortunate to have graduated without debt and I was ready to take life by the horns. Since the Computer Science program at York did not offer co-op I entered the workforce with no experience. It was very intimidating applying for jobs on Monster or Workopolis which required 3-5 years programming experience and I was not very optimistic in landing a full time job after 3 months with 0 callbacks. So what happened next? I settled for a technical support position with Canada’s favourite company Research In Motion (the maker of the popular BlackBerry).
After almost 2 years and a promotion later I was tired of hearing customers complaints and the pressure of fixing their mission critical email servers and so I started to look around. I was so lucky to find an opening with a company which every boy growing up in Canada should know…the company is Capcom. This studio in Burlington develops mobile games and I have been with them ever since.
My future aspirations and goals is to have more cash flow and to retire early. Currently the magic number is 40, so I have 13 long years left to achieve this. I have an insane thirst for knowledge and have been spending all my free time reading books, blogs and websites. Everyone has these same goals but what differentiates the winners from the losers? The ones who are successful are not only intelligent but they work hard, very hard, theres no magic wand here, just hard work and determination. So here we go!
