Part 2: How I Became a Millionaire at Age 30 (Early Career)
By the start of 2011, I can honestly say that things were going well. By conventional standards, I was succeeding in most facets of life: good job, healthy (for the most part), finished with school, and re-focusing on my social life (finally). [click to continue…]

I made a move a few weeks back to pick up some shares of Union Pacific (UNP) and Norfolk Southern (NSC). My timing couldn’t have been much worse… Although I tried to purchase the stocks during a pullback, I was indeed making the [click to continue…]

The following video is sure to be controversial, but I feel like the underlying message is important enough that I need to share it with readers on this blog.
