Part I: Progress Stats
How's it going y'all? I hope everybody experienced a fantastic month. Personally, I'm not fully surprised with my personal May's progress. At any rate, let's review how my personal journey to at least 1 million (before the age of 24) is going so far.1. May's Financial Statement

Profit/Loss: -$740
2. Writing

Articles published (1k - 1.5k words each): 10
Time invested: 12h & 12m
3. April Vs. May (Inputs & Outputs)
April's Input:
51h of Fastlane = $429.69
122.5h of Dishwashing = $1,426
May's Input:
12h of Fastlane = $240.12
102h of Dishwashing = $1,164.82
Part II: May's Highlights
One of my most remarkable highlights for the month I would like to share with you is related to my dishwashing job; I'm grateful to have received a promotion to a cook position in the same restaurant where I work at.In addition, a week later, the chef who offered me the previous promotion also suggested I should accept to work as a busser at the restaurant's sister because it was about to open in the same week, so they were looking for new staff.
My response? Well, unfortunately, I promised my family back in last December I would visit them in the Spring for a month. Therefore, although I would've loved to accept the role as a busser, at the same time, I couldn't let my family down and break the promise. For that reason, I asked for the month of June off, and he agreed.
If you're new to my journey, I live alone in NYC, and my family currently lives in their hometown. I was wrong a couple of months ago when I said it's a 6:00h flight by airplane without realizing it. When in reality, it's approximately 4:30h - 5:00h. I must've gotten confused initially because of the different time zones, lol. Anyways, in less than 24h at the time of me writing this, I will see my family in person after 15 full long months.
Consequently, travel expenses ($500 - $1k in total) are the reason why I took a toll on my profit/loss for the month of May; I also had to work a few hours less on my dishwashing job to prepare for the trip beforehand.
Part III: Setbacks &/or Mistakes
- Misalignment of newly formed habits during May.
Part IV: Counterpunches &/or Accomplishments
- 100% Completion of Unbeatable Mind by Mark Divine
- 12h of Fastlane
- 256+ Push Ups (I started doing push-ups at the end of February 2022 but just started tracking the exact amount at the beginning of the 4th week of May 2022).
- An additional 2h & 30m+ of reading a new fresh book.
Part V: The Future
My expectations for June are quite low due to the fact of spending time with my siblings and parents. Hence, there probably won't be much action for this new month. Hopefully, I'll be back living independently in NYC again before the 4th of July , Independence Day. Thanks for reading! & I wish everybody a marvelous month.CONTENTS
