In the idealist
dreamworld I live in, everyone is a badass leather jacket-toting,
shades-wearing, Harley-riding gangster cruising through the highway of
life. And when asked said gangsters why they are different
from the rest, they say in a gruff voice, "It’s not ‘cause it’s an easy
road, but I worked hard, and I deserve to enjoy it."
Money,
Money, Money... Money
To be 100% clear, there
will be no sales pitch. This is not some get quick rich program.
Just a boneheaded belief
that having money to meet your needs will make the world a better place, and
with the changing technology, this has actually become easier! I don't have a
good answer, just a journey as I look at new technology to find profitable ones!
What do you
mean love life? if I had a kazillion dollars I would love life but not now.
One of the greatest
breakthroughs I had in life is that we all want money, and all for different
reasons! Find that reason!
Very few of us would be
truly contented if we just had money. There is a reason why so many lottery
winners become depressed! We all need meaning!
Back to my motorbike
analogy (I don't actually have a motorbike license, ‘cause my wife would kill
me). Some of us live in an family van because looking after the
family is the priority, yet we are juggling a million things, constantly
turning around to see if the kids are behaving, rushing to soccer
practice while on the phone with the potential client trying to close a
real estate deal.
Some of us wanted to
follow our dreams, but were told to live a safe life. Instead of driving that
awesome motorcycle, cruising down the highway with the wind in
our hair, we had to opt for the safe Japanese fuel-efficient car with
extra airbags.
As Millennials and
people who live in this generation, we have always been told the importance of
doing what we love in our career, being passionate, working hard. These are all
great buzzwords inspired by the icons of our generation, like Steve Jobs, Mark
Zuckerberg, Conor Mcgregor (I am a huge UFC fan, by the way).
It’s a simple three-step formula to achieving all we want in life.
It’s a simple three-step formula to achieving all we want in life.
Yet we do what pays
the bills. It’s important to get realistic about life, but not necessarily
ignore what we love.
And in our desperation,
we turn to the dark side, doing whatever it takes to “make money,” and these
are people I really like! Ever had the friend who you bought that
"product" from which turned out to exactly what you didn't need?
I truly believe for
anyone to be happy, it is imperative that you do what you love. I want to see
that for everyone, and I want to see how we can make the little money that you
have work for you so you can chase your dreams. Your true dreams!
This blog will not
answer all the questions in life, but I hope it helps with the money issue
That sounds
awfully optimistic but times
are changing.

For years, bankers have
been making money by taking advantage of the regular man on the street. Penny stocks, forex trading, way too many courses out there are just out to make a quick buck out of you.
But people can no longer
hide dirty secrets, and as Millennials, we live in a tech era. Fintec is a
“disruptor” of banks. What this means to us is technology is changing the way
we invest our money. In what era could we (regular people) lend to small
businesses in a formal way? Lending club, anybody?
It is easier than ever to become an investor, making your money work for you. On the flipside, as a Millennial, there is way too much information to filter. I hope to fill that gap.
Okay, I'm convinced, but
can I trust your advice with my hard-earned money?
Well, I’m not sure about
that.
But I can tell you
that I won’t post anything unless I'm in the trade. Good enough? If you
lose money, I feel the pinch right alongside you.
