Hello, I'm Adrian

Hello,

My name is Adrian, I'm a romanian which live in the capital of Romania, Bucharest. I moved here 3 years ago when I went to the university. I'm student at Bucharest Academy of Economic Studies, the biggest university of economic studies in our country. I will take the bachelor degree this year, in the following month.

I'm very passionate about economics, especially macroeconomics and that's why I choosed the "General Economy" profile.

I like also very much financial education, forex and the philosophy. From where I took the pleasure for these things?

By chance! I started to read the personal development literature ("self help", as the Americans say) in my first year of university. At one point, the book of a Japanese-born American, Robert Kyiosaki, appeared with an intriguing subtitle "Family Financial Education." At that time, I was 18 years old and I thought it was a good reading. That's how I read "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", a book that changed my life. At this time, I also worked part time as a bank employee. After that book, I didn't want anymore to be an employee.

When I was picking a profession, I followed my parents' directions. Both were employed, but they recommended me to become a bank employee, for two reasons: as a bank employee you have a privileged social status, and as a bank employee you can get a secure financial gain. Over time, it turned out to be a good choice.

I thought I was a man: I had a three-room apartment, a personal property, a car, a safe gain, and no debts to the bank.

This idyllic painting was shattered when I read Kiyosaki's book. Then I realized that my situation was not exactly ideal: the gain I had in the profession was limited, because it depended on the number of hours I was willing to work. Even if I wanted to, I would not have been able to work more than 24 hours a day. Obviously, this is impossible, in the long run, because you need rest, time for personal life, etc.

Reading the book, I realized there were ways in which you can make money in the desired quantities without having to work until exhaustion. Even more interesting, I found out that there is something called "residual earnings," that is, an income you can have, even when you sleep, for which you have to dedicate only a small part of your time. According to the definition, residual income requires less than an hour a day of your life to work.

These concepts fascinated me and I decided I had to study them more thoroughly because I was determined to make more money than I had. It was a paradigm shift, because society and school do not teach you that you can do and have what you want, if you want strong enough and you are willing to make the effort to get it. And for that you do not have to go through any norms, legal or moral.

My objectives for the next 2 years is to get the master degree in economics and to be financially independent.

I think anyone can become financially independent.

Yes! Absolutely anyone, if they want it!

Each of us is already endowed with what we need: a brain capable of wonderful things. All we have to do is put it to work.

Also I want to write my first book about financial education, and I'm running a business at moment.

I will leave a photo here:
