⏱️ it's never too late


Good day Reader,

Isn't it funny how it doesn't matter how old you are, you always feel like you missed it?

Personal example - I graduated college in 2002 with a degree in Computer Science. When I started in 1998, the dot com boom was already roaring.. that's kind of why I chose CS.

By 2001, the bubble collapsed and I felt like I missed it. (well, I technically did miss it)

The bubble may have burst but I didn't miss the rise of the Internet. I caught that one. There's always another wave.

(I'm showing my age by capitalizing the letter I in internet, huh? 🤣)

⏱️ it's never too late

Life is long and there's always going to be another "next thing." There always is.

Many business founders don't start their business until their forties, once they've had many years of work and life experience behind them.

If you feel like you're behind or you're late, read this:

💵 How to create an emergency plan

Despite 44% of Americans being unable to pay for a $500 emergency out of savings, we all know that an emergency fund is important... but do you have an emergency plan?

You need one 👇

🤯 Did you know someone stole $44 billion?

Stealing a million dollars isn't cool.

You know what is?

A billion.

And what's cooler than being cool?

$44 billion!

I didn't even know that was possible... but it was.

And in Vietnam, that means the death penalty unless she returns at least 75% of it... yikes.

(btw, was two cultural references in one section too many references?)

Hi, I'm Jim Wang and I share my strategies and tactics for managing your money and enjoying more out of life.

I have been writing about money for nearly 20 years and believe that personal finance is one of those subjects that is made complicated because it benefits a select few. Our aim is to help make it easier to understand so that regular folks can use what we teach to take control of their money and build wealth.

Good morning Reader! The 10-year Treasury is creeping up to levels we haven't seen since 2025 and the 30-year is around 5.27%. Rates are going up. Interest rate traders now see a 66.2% chance the Fed increases the target federal funds rate. If that wasn't enough, Japan's 10-year just hit 4% for the first time since 1996. That's important because with higher interest rates in Japan, the yen carry trade becomes less attractive. But, I'm not changing anything I'm doing. I'm decades from...

Good morning Reader! It seems that every week brings a new economic crisis. Whether it's the Iran war or the Fed flattening the yield curve or more retaliatory tariffs with our largest trading partners, there's always something. If you try to pay attention to it all, you're going to be overwhelmed. And it'll all be out of date next week. When it comes to your money, have a plan and stay the course. Invest early and often, save for a rainy day, and don't let the news impact your mental state....
