Hello,
I just hit 30 and am experiencing, for the first time in my life, a need to do something...different i guess.
My situation -
I flunked college 5 years ago. Since then became a freelancer and landed a cushy job for my country's situation.
I make 1400 usd a month, my rent is cheap, 120 a month and my utilities around 50 a month.. so as you can see it's a pretty good situation.
Problems are that i spend all my money on going out, alcohol mainly and drugs ocassionally too. I am not addicted but i do have plenty of bad habbits. I live with 3 roomates and the general routine involves going out and spending a lot of money every weeekend, and often on work days too. I also tend to blow any meager savings manage to keep on travel. I have 2 trips, one in April and one on July alread planned. April one is paid for but July one still planned only.
I have 400 dollars saved up and struggle to save anything more than a 1000.
My plan -
Go to my parent's house (they would have no issues with that) and start saving hard core for 2 years. After that i would buy a flat. I dont have a saving account but i plan to open it and put 1000 a month in it,starting next year. Flats in my home city cost 13-14 000 usd. Food is cheap too and i could live ok with 400 a month (average pay is around 300 a month). I can't take a credit because i am a freelancer and my income is not registered at all.
Do you think this plan is somewhat reallistic? Is there anything you would do differently? Thanks to everyone who replies.
