Day 1: Starting the clock

Today I officially started the challenge: $100,000 before I turn 18 on January 19, 2029. That's about two and a half years from now.

The plan for the first few weeks is boring on purpose — get a couple of small, reliable income sources running (mowing lawns, odd jobs) while I build this site to track everything in public. No shortcuts, no get-rich-quick nonsense, just compounding effort and posting the real numbers as they happen.

Total earned so far: $1,250 (gross, all jobs combined since I started keeping records). Net bankroll after expenses: $875.

More tomorrow.
