Aloha folks ~
33-year old, born in Chicago, got a couple degrees in Engineering from top ranked universities.
Lived and nerded out in various cities across the Pacific. Remained broke as hell until 28, when teaching Physics / Engineering became a viable option in Shenzhen (and still is!). Now with a net worth of 100k+, I plan to dive into the Bay Area, California (where everyone told me NOT to go).
I only had a handful of ideas for casual income:
- editing resumes / applications online (built website "Gateway America" but nearly zero leads despite posters and Google Ad services)
- buying a condo and renting it out (HOAs are discouraging, as is current market)
- starting a rental business (renting out a certain good by hour / day)
Books I have read include (I know, it's not much)
Think & Grow Rich (more for the keks)
Secrets of a Millionaire Mind
The Millionaire Next Door
Rich Dad, Poor Dad
4-Hour Workweek
Millionaire Fastlane (soon!)
I hope that this forum (and DeMarco's books) will be a source of inspiration to get me off my a$$ and use this 100k+ productively rather than have it sitting around. Just need a stable studio, a casual day job, and some balls - if anyone else is in the Bay Area do give me a shout! Hope to end up in Mountain View or northern SF in the long-run.
