Waiting for Yo DelPrad’s answer to same question…

As for my plans:

1. Finish up associates in business admin, transfer to Union and get bachelor’s there, then go to Union grad school.
2. Have a full race car, and competing in a competitive race series, and do well. If I ain’t first, I’m last.
3. Get married.
4. Lose some weight.
5. Get into real estate investment, while still investing in the stock market.
6. Multiply my worth a few times.

Hes more of a non-blood brother than a friend lol. Mainly b/c on my own I wouldnt be able to afford the place. Ive been warned about co-owning a house by damn near everyone lol, but I really see no problems happening. We’re both logical, understanding dudes that arent going to screw another over. Worst come to worse, I may just rent off him if things are too much of a legal mess.

Hmmmm…  
Finish my Undergrad in Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering (2 more years)  
Get my Masters in Mechanical Engineering (1 year, if I get into RPI’s co-terminal program)  
See where career takes me at that point. Regardless of where I am (either staying here or headed somewhere south) , I would like to be debt free in 2 years, which I feel confident I can do. With my degrees and grades, I should be able to come out of school making well over 100K. Unless the economy takes a total dump.  
Start big money project car by the end of year 5.

Have you considered buying a 2 family house? I have no idea what your financial situation is but it is easily affordable to buy an income property and live in it almost rent free while renting the other half of it out.

Ive seen trailers for $10k or less and sometimes people give them away if you move it off their property.

A decent house is well over $100k.
