Why I Joined
Track my networth and see what else I can learn from other people. I'm a former user of NetworthIQ and signed up here once they went offline.
Best Financial Decision
Starting a Roth IRA (converted to SEP IRA) when I was 19 and starting my own online business. I have 100% control of my income and was very lucky to earn online when COVID-19 pandemic struck. Starting an online business is an easy side hustle that anyone can do. It's a smart way to boost your annual income and protect yourself against unexpected job loss.
Worst Financial Decision
Credit cards. I got into $17,000 in credit card debt during college and stopped using credit cards altogether because I hate the idea of spending tomorrow's income today. I use debit cards and carry zero consumer debt. The funny thing is I own Visa stock though. lol
Current Investing Strategy
Increase my online income while tracking my spending meticulously. My goal is to build a large emergency fund first then invest the rest in the stock market. I trade options on Robinhood to generate extra income.
How do you manage your finances?
Online savings & spending apps

I need financial help with...
Budgeting and lifestyle creep. I recently had a big boost in online income and went on an eBay shopping spree. Lifestyle creep is real and I am doing everything to maintain my same spending habits even though I'm making a lot more money.
