As always, I share my posts with trepidation from privacy concerns and others' negative comments. Yet there is also a strong desire to contribute positively to the investing community and encourage others to start and persevere on this difficult financial journey. As I look back 20 years ago in 2005, when I started to pen down in small steps of my financials into a simple Excel sheet, never would I have imagined that it will grow and multiply till this size. For 2005, I clocked a meagre $4K vs 2024, which I estimate would reach $130K. As I pen down my thoughts, mistakes and achievements, counting my blessings and painful learnings, slowly yet surely my finances have grown. Of course, I still have a long way to go as compared to big financial gurus who have 8 or even 9-Figures portfolio, but I am grateful with where I am currently. I hope...
