I’m 33M and started investing around 27, with very little idea of what I was doing. After hundreds and hundreds of hours of audiobooks and podcasts, it’s safe to say I’ve become a bit obsessed and proud of what I’ve accomplished with an average income of around 75k/year
At this point, it’s not even just about the money. Of course, it’s great to feel like I’m on the right track—but I genuinely enjoy learning about markets, the economy, and both macro and micro trends, and how they ripple into everyday life.
It still feels strange to say that finance and investing are hobbies of mine. Growing up, I couldn’t have cared less about any of it. Now, I get more excited about an FOMC meeting than just about anything.
Anyways maybe a bit weird of a post - but I figured I’d share my little story
