Spirit-led Financial Independence
The bull run is already brimming and starting to bubble. Bitcoin has hit USD 72K+ and we’re not even blinking our eyes. The boil and overflow is coming and I am set to take my crypto profits this year in 2024. This is a time sensitive information, and I will not repeat my information and … Read more
As I age and observe and learn from investing from bogleheads and their real estate counterparts, as well as learn about the nature of dividend stocks and tech stocks, I am getting increasingly clear that I will likely move away from both dividend, growth and tech stocks.
