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.

I’ll be posting updates on:

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!

I too started with the hope of making money ! Now I'm here, no clients, but still have all the skills. The problem is can't market my skills to the world. I too started a Insta acc for content creation.

That’s a solid mindset, man. I started freelancing around your age doing small web projects for local businesses, and even just a couple clients gave me way more confidence (and cash) than I expected. Biggest tip: don’t get stuck perfecting side projects nobody uses, chase paying clients first, then use that cash to fund your SaaS ideas. The momentum makes a huge difference.

Really inspiring! At 16, setting such ambitious goals is impressive. Excited to see your progress and learn from your journey. Keep it up!
