I was a high school senior in 2004

I dropped out of HS 4 months before graduation to get my GED and accepted a Restaurant Manager job at $34,000

I had also started a commercial cleaning company and was making another $1,000 a month

I was also day-trading a $10K account

I wasn’t even 19 yet and making more money than my blue-collar parents.

I felt on top of the world.

Sadly, I didn’t know a thing about saving money.

I blew it all on nothing. Nothing.

It would be over a decade before I learned any actual finance skills.

That lost decade of savings cost me hundreds of thousands of future đź’°

My #1 goal now is to bring awareness to those in the same position I was for so many years.

The best day to start saving, not matter how much, is today.

When compounding is in play, every day matters!
