⏱️ 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 afternoon Reader, How is it the end of 2024 already? We're just a couple weeks away from the end of the year - and our kids only have two more school days left! There's goes my sanity. 😆 How has your year been? (View this email as a webpage) 👑 Avoid status games The holidays can be a great time. They can also be a challenging time. One of the ways it's challenging is that when you see friends and family, there's a natural inclination to compare yourself. This is especially true when you...

Good morning Reader, Over the weekend, we visited the German Christmas Village in Baltimore. It's one of the best German Christmas markets around and the first time we visited. It's being sponsored by Chase and at several stalls, you can get 50% off if you use a Chase card. 50%! I've seen $1 off or $5 off at some stadiums if you use their bank's card (Citi Field in NY does this, so does Capital One Arena in DC), but 50% off? That's pretty insane. We're slowly accumulating various "holiday...
