I am a pharmacist in Florida who has been investing 10% of my gross income annually (in addition to my 401-K at work) to a Sharebuilder account. Over the last ten years, this account has grown much faster than my retirement plan from work (WellsFargo), when it occurred to me that perhaps I could do this full-time once my fund has grown enough in size.

I am currently in the process of making this official, as my fund is called Barski Equity & Investments, which also includes several pieces of land throughout Florida and Tennessee.

A lot of my growth has come in the form of stock splits, and this is an area that I specialize in.

For now, I am still working full-time as a pharmacist with a local drug chain, but hope to stop in the next couple of years in order to manage my fund and pursue local politics.
