Just found your blog, it’s very interesting, similar yet different to the way I am tracking my finances. I wish I had started at your age!

Some of the “naysayers” here have much more valid, informed & succinct points. While the “Nevile’s-googoogaga” group is just blindly admiring bunch of numbers on a page with no accontability and/or visible plan. And, yes, I GOT the “big secret” part.

Not that this discussion is necessarily worth adding a comment to, but I think that a key point that is overlooked is the fact that a million dollars in equity is quite different than having a million dollars in cash.

If you are really going to have a million dollars in cashable assets, you better plan on having a multiple of that in equity -- I doubt that at your age you are going to find any kind of opprotunity that is going to pay you that much in "cash" alone.

In any case, just an observation.

None of you have respect for the market. Making a million dollars in a short amount of time isn’t extremely easy. Humble yourself before the market’s ability to set prices efficiently, for if you do not respect the market, it will destroy you.

As for Neville. I like him and I like his blog, however determination alone doesn’t make you rich. If making a million dollars was as easy as reading a book by William Buffet and having a strong work ethic, everyone would be driving Porsches.

I seem to sense a lot of jealousy here, especially from the anonymous naysayers. Nev is obviously a very driven young man, and I have no doubt he is going to accomplish whatever he sets his mind to. We’ve already seen that his mind works differently from that of a lot of people, and if used positively, it’s going to make him stand out in the goals he sets for himself.

I think your ROTH numbers might be off. I believe that the max contribution is $4000/year if you are single and under $95,000 Adjusted Income. If you are going to be a millionaire in 3 years, then I’d imagine you’d surpass that $95,000 quickly. Good luck on reaching those goals though.

Neville, just curios, now that school’s over are you fully supporting yourself or are your parents still supporting you. It seems that you have a minimum wage job, partime, but can afford to pay rent, drive a new(er) car, college expenses… I was wondering who or what pays most of your expenses. Are your business adventures that profitable? It doesn’t seem that you have any dept, but college isn’t cheap these days.

a million dollars in 3 years?….

perhaps it is realistic…especially if your parents are helping you out with financing college, bills, etc…
