What are your goals?

Genuinely curious to hear about everyone's goals on here. Where are you currently at in life and where do you see yourself in 5, 10, or 15 years? 

To start things off, I'm content with continuing on my current career track in an advisory role. Great, scalable pay, clear career trajectory, manageable WLB, expanding my network, and continuing to sharpen my skills by working with a ton of hard-working, intelligent individuals. As my career continues and my investible cash continues to grow, I plan on partnering with other individuals to invest in small businesses, real estate, etc. It's not a fancy or glamourous goal, but it will give me more control over my life and, if done correctly, will make me very wealthy.

What are you working towards? 

Cheers and Happy Holidays!
