-have about 100k in the bank and another apartment investment in hk that should do quite well if i get lucky (currently have about 70k equity, but if the right offer comes in should turn into ~200k or more). i was able to do this by saving a lot of the money i made through co-op in order to buy the apartment - thankfully it's turning out to be a decent one.
-driving company car, so dont own any vehicle
-no other debt
future:
-going to take 2-3 months off work in around 1.5 years in order to travel and self study about technical things related to my future business and investments
-hope to start my own business in 3-4 years with a friend, but only after a couple more years of experience and saving (hate working and making money for other people) and hope to be financially free by 35-40 years old
-start day/week trading on the side in the next couple months to see how that works out for me.
-look for good investment opportunities
i'd also like to say that i did all this without my parents money, however i did live at home throughout school and they did pay for my tuition so that was very helpful

110k year for a 23 year old is great.
May i ask what department of engineering you took at UBC, I'm planning to get into automotive engineering in 2 years after college.
