It’s nice to have a strong month at this point in the season since we’re now going full speed into winter, where my side hustle earnings typically […]

What Am I So Afraid Of? A Reaffirmation To Myself
When I look back at my life, I think there’s one thing that has guided a lot of my decision-making – fear. It’s a powerful emotion, one that I think pushes many of us onto the paths that we find ourselves on – whether we know it or not. Of course, a healthy dose of […]
Don’t Like Your 401k? Create Your Own 401k Instead
A few weeks ago, I finally went ahead and made my 2017 tax-year contribution to my Solo 401k.

Robo-Advisors Would Have Changed My Investing Life
When I look back at my investing life, one of my biggest regrets is just not getting started sooner. It’s really kind of a shame when I think about it. I didn’t start investing until I was 27 years old, almost a decade after I had graduated from high school. That’s years of potential growth […]
