🎓Education

Back when I started college in the fall of 2019 and planned out my freshman schedule, I was stunned at how many breaks were on the calendar! I was both confused and elated like a kid on a snow day during the pre-Zoom era when they still existed. After evaluating all this time off, I’ve

In America, there’s no better feeling of economic security and establishing roots than when you’ve fully paid off your property and finally own something tangible no one can claim as theirs.  No bank or neighbor. It’s in your name. This usually comes in the form of owning some kind of real estate, commercial, multi-family, or

For every market, there’s always a season that favors buyers more than sellers and vice versa.  Being able to accurately time the markets over time is what earns the real rewards. When it comes to real estate, market timing tends to be more predictable than the equity markets due to overall less volatility, more lag,

Anyone who reads this or any personal finance content out there is most likely already in the top 20%+ earners in the U.S., let alone the globe. In this world of abundance and ‘not enough(ness)’, paradox of choice is a dillema. There are far too many unhealthy, so-called ‘worse’ options on our screens to the

When it comes to commodities, they are hotter than ever before. Being able to own any natural good, whether in shares or physically is an inflationary-proof way to lock-in gains overtime. What is even better is owning real land through either real estate or farmland for recurring dividend-paying cash flow. From the Saudis in the

2022 college graduates are searching for something beyond a career. They are looking for a realistic and balanced lifestyle that they can count on and most importantly, last through. You can either work to live or live to work. I know for a fact with my love for food, I live to eat so it

As the cost of higher education continues to balloon each year rising above inflation, the mantra, ‘learn to earn’ stands out. For millions of incoming freshman and continuing graduates, it is becoming harder to see the system as a place of opportunity and talent and instead where the wealthiest through legacy admissions are admitted.  Higher

You would think if you study economics, you would want to go into well, economics or behavioral psychology, become an economics teacher, work on Wall Street, a behavioral scientist, or perhaps be the host of Freakonomics radio. Somewhat related to what you spent a quarter of a million dollars for and 4 precious years grinding

Here are two life savers to always keep in mind: Remember that nothing lasts forever and the only person you should be dependent on is yourself. Eventually we all learn these two truth bombs the hard way, usually when we need to get out of our own mess. That’s why things happen for us not

I hadn’t heard of the concept of financialization prior to last semester when I enrolled in the course, “The Political Economy of Financialized Life”. To be frank, crypto, stable coins, dogecoin, meme stocks, GameStop, Black Berry, yes, Musk, and NFTs weren’t part of my lexicon either since last year. The sign of the times in

College is known to be one of the most transformative years of one’s lifetime. As a college student myself, I have full faith in the commitment to education and believe it is crucial to one’s existence. Knowledge is power after all. It wasn’t easy going through the bumpy system but it was well worth it.

Many people close to me don’t even know I study FinTech and entrepreneurship at a liberal arts school at NYU. I decided to not even bother applying to business school and no pun intended, go down the stern path at Stern because I’ve never been a good test taker, horrible at memorization, prefer smaller classes

I’ve always been an average test taker. If I had the choice to do anything besides a test, I would. Memorization and spitting information onto a page doesn’t work for me.  I’ll do absolutely anything instead. A dance routine, sit in an ice bath for an hour, perform a skit, a presentation, virtually anything to

Guess what? You’re never alone. Everyone had to start at the same place with nothing knowing nothing. Even your spoiled friend who inherited all his wealth from his grandfather. His grandfather had to do all the heavy lifting and now your friend has a lot of pressure to keep up the family legacy and run

Reading and writing is something we all learn in school. It’s a skill that’s necessary and thankfully taught without hesitation in the education system. Yet many skills in life that are as important such as financial literacy, mental health and networking to name a few are ignored upon. Without writing, we cannot do most things
