My Journey

As a boy,

I grew up in a dysfunctional family as an only child. It was tough 😅

I was close to my mom, a stranger to my dad. Lost mom at 24.

Introvert & weird in school 😌. Didn't make many friends. I was the lazy type 😆

Worked in many part-time jobs. Met many people. Some were great, some not so much 😂

Work experiences heavily shape who I became. Experiences in factories & service roles were memorable times 😍

Happiness meant simple things. Playground time, dragon ball cards, playing games, watching soccer, celebrations with mom 😜

As a father,

The greatest achievement was the wife 😉. Became a better person.

At 34, brought one soul into the world. Added 2 more before 40. They add spice, joy and meaning to life 😘

Walked a different path from my dad. See kids every day, every milestone 😄

Believed family foundation is key. Will be open to kids' life decisions 👦👧

Message to kids; be decisive, take action, don't regret and find your principles in life 🌞

As an investor,

Started around early 30s. Wasn't consistent in the beginning. Became disciplined over time 💪

Always loved saving money 💰. Have to find the right balance ⚖. No point carrying too much 💵 to the grave.

Sharing famous quote from Benjamin Franklin

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest”

Everyone started from 0. Only hard workers score > 80 😎

As a hobbyist,

My dad introduced soccer and video games. Became a passion and addiction ⚽️ 🎮

It ruined studies but helped with boredom and stress. 📖

Jogging and tennis came later 🏃🎾

Feel nostalgic playing games now. Kids love to discuss them. 😋

Wish to retire engaging the hobbies.

Will form a core part of aging 👴
