⏱️ 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:

🤯 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.

How are you doing Reader? It's felt like every investment has gone up this year. Stock market, bonds, precious metals, crypto... But crypto has been getting hammered lately and one of the reasons is known as the "yen carry trade." It sounds more complicated that it is - it just means that when Japan has low interest rates, people borrow in yen, exchange it into U.S. dollars, and then invest the money in assets in a higher rate economy (i.e. United States). When the Bank of Japan hints at...

Good morning Reader, To those who observe Thanksgiving, Happy almost-Turkey Day! It's one of my favorite holidays not because of the food but because it's a reminder of how good we have it. It doesn't matter if the year has been good or bad, the fact that we can spend it with family and friends makes it better. I hope you are able to spend it with the ones you care about. And, can I ask a small favor? Would you be able to add Wallet Hacks to your list of Preferred Sources in Google? Go to...

Good morning Reader, The final penny rolled off the Mint a week ago and now the U.S. Mint is auctioning off 24K gold three-coin sets. You can tell they're part of the final run because, well, they're made of gold but also because they have a special Omega (Ω) privy mark. I get that the Mint sells coins for a profit... ... but this one feels a little weird. What do you think?
