What’s the story behind this book?

I believe that financial education should be taught at every school to every individual. After facing many monetary challenges early in my life, I decided while I can’t fix our education system, I can take what I’ve learned and give back to others by sharing my exact financial system.

This book started as a passion project, to help people achieve financial independence. It is now a guide that any individual, at any age can pick up and apply towards their life. In the book I cover many financial topics from Checking and Savings Account, to Credit Cards, Investing in 401k, IRA, ESPP, and your brokerage account. Lastly, I even share a few more details on how to take your portfolio a step further by investing in Real Estate.
