Problem:
Currently the 2030 Agenda is underway creation of Central Banks Digital Currencies, Inflation trashing the US dollar, creation of 15-minute smart cities, in coming Economic transformation, K shape economy etc.
If you want to learn more go to my previous threads
Why Will Not Own a House
Why you CANNOT be an "average man" post 2030
What I'm Currently Building
Basically If you want your bloodline to stand ANY chance of having somewhat freedom or even just for yourself NOW is the time to plan and act or risk eternal wage-slavery, if you think shit bad now wait till 2040-50's
My current objective is to achieve financial freedom in my 20's
Achieving a Net-Worth of 5 million dollars by the time I'm 30
I need insight on which pathway would get me there best
Pathway #1
Take an Apprenticeship of sorts with
Something like IBEW Union Electrical Apprenticeship, MWAA, AIM etc
while staying at home and investing in Assets like Gold, Sliver, REIT's, and A Stock Profile
Use that Compound interest starting at 18 years old
Will take extra effort to convince parent as when I discussed this with them previously they wanted me to go to college for engineering
Pathway #2
College for Mechanical Engineering
2 Years Community College to ME Degree From Virginia Tech working at Wendy's on the side
Then Work for
Common Wealth Systems
AWS
Data Centers In My Area
etc.
A more traditional pathway longer and more drawn out
Pathway #3
Leverage the Military
1) Do ROTC for Mechanical Engineering
2) Enlist while doing a Skilled trade like Electrical work
and take full advantage of Millitary benefits
Possible Side Hustles
1) Commercial Kitchen Cleaning
2) Mobile Car Detailing
3)Window Cleaning
4) Youtube
As a high school Senior who is planning to become Financial free what options have I not considered and what recommendation do you have for me
Thanks for advice
