Hey everyone
I came up with a pretty wild idea yesterday:
I’m 16, and I’ve set myself the challenge of making £100k in 2 years before I start university.
Why?
- I want to pay my own way through uni and live debt-free.
- I want to actually enjoy the uni experience without money stress.
- And I love building stuff - websites, apps, and SaaS - so this is the best way I can think of to do it.
How I’ll try to get there
- Building websites & apps for clients
- Shipping small SaaS / indie projects
- Sharing my progress publicly
Follow Along
I’ll be posting updates on:
- Twitter (X): VulcanWM
- Newsletter: 100k-before-uni.beehiiv.com
I don’t know if I’ll make it, but I’ll share the whole journey: wins, fails, and lessons along the way.
Would love to hear from others who’ve tried similar challenges or started young!
