from rags to.. riches (hopefully).

This is not financial advice. Everything that I write is based on my biases and personal opinion. “Think Again” by Adam Grant is my current disposition. I am learning and unlearning, and learning again every single day.

Hey there, thank you for clicking in :)

I know everyone loves a rags to riches story. Fortunately, I am not rich, yet. And I don’t have a get rich quick scheme. So this is where my story unfolds in real time. (Best part: you get to be the witness.)

This is a place where I document my research, thoughts and ideas about everything related to investing. From managing money to investment mindset to stocks to funds to crypto to Earth2.0. Basically everything that goes through the tiny little brain of mine. As you can tell, I have a very curious mind that love to explore every nook and cranny of our investment world.

With the proliferation of information these days, I find it hard to collect my thoughts and streamline my research. So I have decided to pen them down here to make sense of what I have learned. And also keep track of them as the hard drive in my head has limited space.

I am an avid investor, looking for the best way to grow my money, to be rich, slowly but surely.

What does it mean to be rich?

Honestly, what is rich? Every one has a different definition of rich. You gotta find one that resonates with you. If not, you can feel really empty if you are just chasing money for the sake of it.

The rich me: have the flexibility and freedom to spend extravagantly on things that I truly love.

To get there, I believe in creating milestones in my investment journey, breaking it down into minor stages where I am able to witness my progress in this long and arduous pursuit. That way, I will be motivated to keep going.

Let’s get rich together!

Over here, you can expect to laugh at my silly mistakes, and of course not repeat them. And if you’re nice enough, you can celebrate my milestones with me.

Ultimately, I hope to share this journey with anyone — whoever you are, wherever you are; so we know we’re never alone.

Cheers.
