Stumbling into financial success
Nov 02, 2025
A lot of people have “strategies” to building wealth. It’s true in a sense. There is often some kind of strategy necessary to build wealth.
But what if I told you that I built what I have today, without knowing wtf I was really doing? As in, I’m not an expert on ETFs, trading, hedging, reading financial charts, or a master at business.
But one thing I can do for a really long time? Consistently invest.
I started at 14 and never stopped. There were times I invested less, but I kept going. I even took a $2,000 withdrawal to buy my first car — the last withdrawal I ever took.

I’ve tried many different boats for investing, but I couldn’t really say I’m an expert at any of them. I just consistently invest, and that’s how I’ve stumbled into what some might call financial success.
It doesn’t take “smarts” or a perfect strategy…all it takes is consistent action.
