I invest for my emoji family 💪 P.S. My daughter nailed her three dances at her recital 💃

"Daddy, some people are more scared of a stock market crash than being broke and still working at 70."

We're getting a Nor'easter this weekend. Good thing $VOO can get through any storm if you just ride it out.

Still true...

Value safety, health, & time Make as many memories as you can Commit random acts of kindness Know that failure is only failure if you give up - if you don't, it's simply a learning lesson Marry someone who makes you better Have emoji children Get your finances in order, starting now (if you're not a multi-millionaire already) Lift heavy weights Do hard things Eat right Leave a legacy you'd be proud of

Today is my emoji son’s 8th birthday! He loves basketball & compound interest 🎉

Don't even have the temptation to do this anymore

Dad Approved ✔️

Discipline over dopamine That's something that took me FOREVER to become self-aware about In my 20's and 30's, I was a dopamine driven decision maker Loved the feeling Gambling on sports, playing poker at the $1/$2 no-limit tables, and buying things I didn't need for that quick hit of happiness It cost me a lot of money - money I could've invested and turned into a lot more money Live, learn, and course correct On a much better path now

From age 22-28, I worked 40+ hours only to hand my extra money over to credit card companies & casinos. Young men & women, don't do what I did. Another expensive lesson I'll share w/ my children one day.

Negotiating can save you BIG $$$ Here’s how to win at it: - have a baby - wait five years - let five-year-old do the talking Boom, you just saved money

I'm so glad I learned about rocks, hypotenuses, and Lord of the Flies in school... ...and not basic financial education. That needs to change.

That's a good swing trade

What people don't see: • Stress (I hide it well) • Sacrifice (I do it quietly) • Pressure (I soak it up like a sponge) • Long hours (every single day) • Taking risks (all the time) • Losing money (lost plenty of it) • Being rejected (it's part of the journey) • Sleepless nights (way too many) • Making mistakes (learning lessons, honestly) • Doubting yourself (too many times to count) What people see: • Success (a healthy family & loving home)

My seven-year-old son woke me up at 6:03 a.m. He was so excited to tell me about the books he got at the school book fair - they were about rare rocks. So he took me through the book, page-by-page - using his soft little voice after just waking up, while sipping on a cold glass of milk. He taught me things about rocks I had never heard of and he just cuddled up against me with his blanket and Snoopy. After that, we talked about the day ahead and what he's excited about. My six-year-old daughter came downstairs at 7 a.m. I had her milk waiting. She sat on the other side of me and just put her head on my shoulder as she took each sip. Quiet. Not much to say to start the day, but an appreciation that daddy was there. Her blonde little hair draped over my shoulder and just quiet cuddles to kick off the morning before the rush to get ready for the bus began. I will totally miss these days and I'm so damn thankful and blessed to have them in this current season of life. Portfolio up 10,000% today.
