'Retired' in 30s and now live off investments
Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA)
Ex-JPMorgan

However, 10 years ago
I was just like you...
I had a literature degree..
Finance was nowhere on my radar back then..
I had a literature degree..
Finance was nowhere on my radar back then..
I self-studied investing, and I was
Confused & SCARED
Here's the truth
That all changed when I found easy-to-follow steps that made investing simple and straightforward.
But even building a 7-figure investment portfolio doesn’t mean every step is a red carpet moment.
My first investment was just $500 in an ETF in my final year in school.
During the market downturns in 2015, I also panicked and made mistakes.
I got depressed in my second year while self-studying for the CFA program.
I’ve made the mistakes so you don’t have to, my friend.
