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!

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.

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…

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.
