I'm a 23 year old guy, 1 year as a mortgage loan officer. And now 1 as corporate finance consultant. But I quit last Friday. I decided that my time and freedom was more important to me then spending half my life at a desk doing work that I wasn't genuinely interested in
Anyway, I'm a little sad to be leaving a cool city like NYC, but I have to get ACL surgery.
So my plan is to go back to my parents in Florida, get ACL surgery, and recover there for about 5 months.
Okay, now that you have the set up, here is the question. What should I do with my life once I'm recovered from surgery?
I have about $40k saved and 0 debt.
I'm considering a few options and want to know what you think sounds best. I'm also open to new suggestions.
1) take time off to live and travel in a van while I work on re-sharpening my graphic design skills and trying to get freelance work. (I studied design for a couple years in school and really enjoy it. Also the idea of not throwing away money on rent and living in a space you own completely and have the freedom to go anywhere sounds awesome). I would plan on living and traveling in the van for about a year.
2) use the real estate knowledge I gained during my time as a mortgage loan officer to try to use the money I have saved to start investing in real estate. Either by flipping houses or turning the properties into rental properties.
3. Try out for Navy Officer Candidate school
