Hey
I'm Alex, 30 yo developer living in London.
Just finished listening to TMF , I found it interesting, a bit different than most "financial advice" books but also found similarities to what other guys are advising (e.g. Gary Vee)
Why did I read the book:
I consider myself to be lucky with the career choice. I enjoy programming, pay is good and you also can go for remote roles which give you a degree of freedom when it comes to travel and exploring new places.
So all good but even though I have some freedom, time and money now, it's not sustainable because in a few years I will probably like to focus more on other things and have more time.
I tried day trading a few times, you can guess how it went ...
I did the math for real estate investment and without serious time/money it's not gonna give me what I need in the future.
Starting a business and shift from consumer/producer sounds like the way to go.
Naturally with my skill set I always considered software solutions but like most techies I focused on technology and not really on providing value, of course none of the attempts got completed. I'd say laziness or lack of motivation.
So now looking for ways to provide value using my skill set.
I'm currently freelancing, and will probably keep doing that since I enjoy it and doesn't take up all my time.
Went through a few threads and noticed some interesting ideas (decided to join).
Let's see what's going on here ...
Cheers
