Hi! I'm Claudia and I am at the start of my investment journey. I'm currently working part-time and studying a Bachelor of Mathematics and Physics in Queensland, Australia. My short term (5-10 years) goal is to buy my first house/investment property and build a $100k investment portfolio. Obviously, long term I am aiming for financial freedom with a healthy Super balance so I can live it up in early retirement. My current financial independence age estimate is 66 years old (starting from scratch!) but I would like to reduce this to under 50. My interest in the financial world has only been sparked recently through the use of social media and other 'financial influencers' that have a similar background to my own. Previously I didn't believe that I would ever have an early retirement or even own a home! I am slowly educating myself about the financial world and am excited to join a community of like minded, driven people.
