*** Wanna Know why only 9€ invested today at 9% p.a. yields 90€ in interest after 27 years? Curious what will happen if you invest 9,000€ this year, e.g.,750€ each Month, after 27 years? (Spoiler: No trick here, just math - and linear extrapolation of the numbers.)

WHAT COULD YOU DO IN 9,000 HOURS?

The Brutally Honest Version.

  • Hitting the gym for probably the rest of your life (3x/week, an hour for 58 years)

  • Practice daily meditation for more than the rest of your life (15 min/day for 99 years)

  • Read hundreds of books or ~270.000 pages ("The Bible" 225 times or "Lord of the Rings Trilogy" 229 times)

  • Become fluent in two or three languages with average linguistic skills (if it's not Mandarin or Arabic...)

  • Walk around the world once, or just walk ~60 million steps (40.075 km at 4.5 km/h in 8.906 h)

WHAT WILL YOU DO IN 9,000 HOURS?

The Biological Unavoidable Version.

  • Grow 1 year and 10 days older (guess you can do the math yourself)

  • Spend 1% of your lifetime (assuming you will get 103 years old - which is not unlikely for today's 30-year-olds)

WHAT CAN YOU DO IN 9,000 HOURS?

The Uncomfortably Realistic Version.

  • Doom scrolling on TikTok & Instagram Reels for 33 years (0.75 h/day - and that's just average!)

  • Hit the snooze button twice every morning for the rest of your life (20 min x 365 days/year = 74 years)

* Unless I get distracted by Netflix.

How will YOU spend your next 9,000 HOURS?

BE PART of the JOURNEY.

Time until official launch:

8,999 hours, 57 minutes, 45 seconds…

(Just kidding. It’s sooner. Probably.*)

WHAT WILL I DO IN 9,000 HOURS?

The "This Remains to be Seen" Version.

  • I am completing a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Economics at Fernuni-Hagen (that's at least the approach, Ladies & Gentlemen)

  • Log every single one of the 9,000 hours (technically, I will - not kidding)

  • Share my insights about the study modules, my progress (hope so), study hacks, and lessons learned

  • Create (probably 9,000) statistics and Excel sheets and show you how to analyse them. Spoiler: I love numbers (if you haven't noticed already)

  • Build a real-money depot from scratch by investing in stocks (transparent from day 1)

  • Experience personal growth by running a blog over several years (and let you participate in how to stay on track when the initial motivation slowly disappears)

  • ...and so much more, I've already got in mind. Added value guarantee for every single blog post!

  • But most importantly: I can promise you to take you on an unscripted & authentic journey (and yes, if I fail, you'll know first)
