“I bought a forty-five thousand dollar car with only two thousand dollars to my name. It was one of the best decisions of my life.”
You’re probably thinking, what “finance” guy would ever endorse this kind of behavior? The reason may surprise you…
As a kid, I always had enough but never more. A significant factor in my decision to pursue a career in nursing was the allure of a stable income that would afford me the luxuries in life that I desired as a child.
When I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and landed my first nursing job at a prestigious hospital in Los Angeles, my dreams of achieving all that I had ever wanted were suddenly within reach…
The Ford Mustang GT, my dream car since I was a kid, was finally mine. However, when my first monthly payment of $600 was due, reality set in. How was I supposed to afford this? Living paycheck-to-paycheck motivated me to find another stream of income. The next few months would turn out to be momentous.
I tried everything from blogging to furniture flipping to starting an aquarium business. But when a friend introduced me to the stock market, I was hooked.
All of my spare time was spent learning how to trade stocks and within six months I was consistently making the equivalent of my car payment every month.
As my knowledge grew, so did my profits and before long I was able to fund my newfound travel addiction. (Here I am in Santorini, Greece!).
I’ve come from surviving a fall into a deep money pit, to being able to supplement my lifestyle with profitable side hustles. My goal is to share my insight and to instill my passion for personal finance with the goal of helping you to achieve the level of financial success that you deserve. After all, I’m “just a nurse” but hopefully I can inspire you to live out your dreams.
