$1,000 now sits on the investment fund's private balance sheet with an annual income of $24.75, which will turn into $26.35 either this week or sometime next month from a couple more share purchases. I am excited to announce that this milestone was hit within the deadline because it allows me to move towards the... Continue Reading →
Today was my first day of fall quarter after waking up to purchase a couple of shares of Kenvue. I didn't sleep well last night because of the anticipation of knowing the fund was going to meet its target goal. This is probably why I was overwhelmed seeing all the reading assignments that need to... Continue Reading →

This very same modern world that are we in now. Their footsteps buried underneath ours. Their stories unknownest to us. Yet they... Continue Reading →
I used to spend a lot of my early adult years deprived of wants and needs, on top of my adolescent years. I know I am not alone. There are a lot of people who spend their years deprived of their wants and needs, which makes us ripe for falling into the overconsumption trap. It... Continue Reading →
