How My $640,000 Portfolio is Invested

Answering one of the most common questions I receive on Medium about my portfolio. — One of the first articles that I ever posted on this platform was about how I built a net worth of $500,000 before I turned 30; I can’t believe I wrote that article almost a year ago! Since then, I’ve received numerous questions about how my portfolio is invested. In…

3 Side Hustles That Are a Total Waste of Time

These side hustles wasted my time and thousands of dollars. — After surviving 2020, I’d argue that everyone needs a side hustle.

Not all side hustles are created equally, and most articles on the topic suggest either very basic ideas (driving for Uber…

A Janitor Making Over $270K a Year Illustrates How Most Americans Are Too Proud To Be Rich

Most Americans limit their ability to build wealth as they pursue expensive degrees, “respectable” careers, and spend like they’re in Congress to impress people that they don’t even like. — It was 2016, and I was sitting at my desk at my corporate job in Silicon Valley when a news notification popped up on my MacBook that I couldn’t resist opening; it was about Liang Zhao Zhang, a janitor for BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit), who made over $270,000 the…

How I Built a Net Worth of $500,000 Before Age 30

No, I did not start a dropshipping store, join a network marketing company, or receive an inheritance or other financial assistance. I did this on my own, and so can you! — Saving is Imperative and Very Easy with the Right Mindset I can’t stress this enough! We all logically know that if we make $60,000 a year and spend $65,000, we will be in trouble-yet, so many Americans do this. So much of this (in my humble opinion) has to do with mindset.

Female Breadwinners are 50% More Likely to Divorce — Let’s Talk

And most importantly, here’s what to do. — I’ll start by stating that I’m not shocked by this statistic (which originally came from a University of Chicago Study, and re-surfaced on Reddit). There’s plenty of other literature supporting this statistic from Yale and Harvard as well. Here’s an interesting excerpt from the U of Chicago study: “A married…
