Nice to meet you all,
I'm 31 and currently working in Information Security, earning around $140K in NYC. Over the past four years, I’ve spent a lot of money chasing short-term desires instead of building long-term wealth. At one point, I had $100K saved — now I’m $35K in debt. I’ve tried things like crypto investing and nearly lost a lot of money there too. After all that chaos, I’ve realized I want to build something meaningful. After the love of my life, who was incredibly business-savvy and always encouraged me to start my own business, left me, I decided it’s finally time to take that advice seriously. I want to build a real business, something that can eventually let me leave my job and live life on my own terms. I’d love to have the freedom to spend more time doing what I enjoy, like playing guitar and learning new languages. A friend actually told me about this forum about 8 years ago. Back then, I ignored it because I was focused on landing my dream job and was in school. Now that I’ve been through the grind, I’m here to read, learn, and take advice from all of you.
Thanks for reading my story — and I’m looking forward to learning from this community.
