⏱️ 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? 🀣)

🀯 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.

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, Did you know Amazon has an Alexa skill where you can ask it to send you samples? It's made by and after you set up the skill, you can ask Alexa to send you samples if they have them. I explain it on Instagram, which has decided to cut off my hair whenever I use a green screen. 🀣 You can also sign up to SendMeASample.com directly and request samples.

Good morning Reader, If you're interested in a tiny side hustle, there's a group called PFS Buyer Club that helps source in-demand items for their members - usually these are limited release coins from the Mint. You buy a limited release coin for ~$110, they buy it from you for $140, and you make $30 as the intermediary. PFS Buyer Club is free to join. You won't get rich but I've done a few of these in the past and haven't run into any issues. Here's my review of the process. (View this email...

Good morning Reader, The government shut down today, the first time since 2018 through 2019 when it was closed for 35 days, and there's no sense of how long it will be this time.
