Teacher since 1996. Didn't start investing until late 2006. Why? Finally figured out that I gotta make my own millions, because a passive retirement account isn't going to do it for me. I'm looking to make my first million by 2013 (ambitious? yes. But gotta aim high). In addition, I'm hoping to learn enough and develop a feel so that I can start an investment/personal finance club at my school for students and teachers.
