Highlights

This is how it all started…

My investment journey when I moved to the USA at the age of 28. That was when I opened my very first Robinhood account. I still remember the excitement as my portfolio grew, reaching nearly $12,000 after the COVID market swings. Life took unexpected turns—I relocated from New York City to California, got laid off from work, and eventually withdrew all my money from that account. It was a period of change, but also one that shaped how I think about investing and financial growth today.

Now, I am ready to restart with a new mindset and a bigger vision. My goal is to build steady income while working toward the dream of reaching a million-dollar portfolio. This time, I want to share my experiences openly and document every step of the process. Through ups and downs, I’ve learned that consistency, patience, and smart investing are key. This blog will be the place where I explain my journey, reflect on lessons learned, and hopefully inspire others who are also working toward their own financial goals.
