I want to pay off my mortgage in 7 years and save enough money to build an hotel back home ( West Africa - Ivory Coast) in about 10 years and retire there to manage my hotel. I am 32 and want to retire by 50.

Nah, EY is not, I was supposed to be promoted this year and I was not so I am currently looking for a job. Anyone who is willing to pay me more, I am gone.

It will cost me at least $250k using African Materials and labor to build it. It’s really a bangalo type, with each person having their own suites near a safari.

I have a daughter who is 10 so I am hoping in 10 years she will be in college and very independent. Then I can leave her the already paid house, pay for college with the 529 that I am contributing for or she gets a scholarship and I give her the money and I simply cash in some of my 401k money and savings to build my so called resort lol.

That’s the plan in my head. We will see how it goes.

I want to have money and my firm enables that by giving me money.

Are you hoping to do something with the money?

Have a family (done)
Safari in Africa - one day when the kids are grown

Make partner at EY, and work on 200 proposals and decks before I get there.

6pack, hot wife, 4 kids, homeschooling
Job brings the money to support this, but impedes the 6pack needed to attain it xD

When you have money, and you’re looking for a woman you fully support (so she can have not even gone to college), you should be able to find a pretty hot wife somehow, with or without a 6 pack. If you’re really unattractive, you could try the good old 90 day fiancé way (hopefully you know that show) since you’re not looking for a partner to also contribute to the household.

You’re welcome for the advice 😂

Most of my friends moved out of the city and I’m having to meet new people at 32. I love my job but it’s incredibly stressful. I’m terribly lonely.
