So as you know from the title, I`m f*cking 33 still living in my parent's place. I moved in and out a few times. I am literally an old man in most people's eyes.
Here's a bit of about myself and my age timeline. I hope by doing this I get more of a life audit that your honest inputs can clear I`m either on the right road or not.
I`m Korean American, I come from a family of the stereotypical Korean parents owning a liquor store seeing how hard money is made. My parents know nothing and its hard to translate all this in korean, being online and making something for yourself.
Heres my time line as much as I can remember
- At 18 - I didn't know what I wanted, parents split. My life is a diaster so I had a korean friend of mine tell me to join the Army. At the time I still remember the twin towers falling down in my history class on t.v. Signed up at the Army reserve with an 8 year contract!
- Served 6 years, served with a general discharge with honorable conditions.
- During while I was 18-24 small to big moments
- Worked at NYK Logistics - when I was super underqualified, another job I didn't want, but just applied cause of the army background. I was a "Air Import Clerk" adding up these horrible 11 point font numbers on one line and I had over 300 lines one page. I had 10-20 pages of these things in a vanilla folder that I would get stacked 2-3 folder.
- Worked at Hondas Logistics in the Torrance warehouse in a student program
- I joined a network marketing company, at the time myspace was still popular. I messaged this dude about making money etc. ACN, Monavie, Traverus all that BS MLM stuff brainwashed, but I gained a few true friends that I still talk today.
- Things I saw was baffling: People were preaching one thing and doing something entirely else cause I got a chance to work with very top.
- Contracts were made for hit certain quotes for as side bonus. The entire network of people being shared to certain people jumping one company to the next.
- The network I have can potentially tap into can increase the odds of me
- Read a book on rich dad poor dad - absorbed it like a sponge for financial literacy.
- Sold $800 in ebooks on unlocking your 1st generation iphone
- Paid a $800 camera speed violation ticket that was installed at the time.
- Worked a first franchise eBay store - learned how to list things effectively on eBay, btw PayPal is still horrible on how they handle cases lol. So good luck with eBay on selling certain items.
- Sold unlocked phones and made my first $2,000 profit in a total of a bulk sale.
Starting from 27 to 33 - bigger moments - This is why I`m lost. I have a history of tasting big money before, so nothing feels right.
- Made a blog called "forecastyourmarketing" the keyword I was aimed to rank for was "marketing" since I saw at the time the volume of searches was significant and see if I can remake similar to "smartpassiveincome" blog. I had hopes on executing things out since the owner Pat Flynn, made it happen to rank "passive income" on googles first page.
- My downfall: I used "Market Samurai" at the time was a keyword research alternative promoted by Pat Flynn. I just assumed that guest posting was going to be easy.
- I knew at the time ranking such keywords was hard af. But I was willing to do it anyways. Here's what people don't tell you. The limited blog-sphere space is literally a social clique and was only accepted at the time known bloggers and to be in that crowd there was no way in. Besides writing and hoping to get accepted for a "guest post" and waiting around burning time. The lesson and financial cost I learned was $1,900 that got me nowhere.
- Another problem I faced was the monetization method, I planned that this Wordpress plugin using to hide the affiliate referral to a "keyword friendly" look was going to solve everything. I think I saved lots of headache not taking this path.
- Bought the first 2 Butterfly labs ASIC 5GHZ machines for bitcoin, sold it for $2,000 per machine
- Saw the price of bitcoin do nothing
- Sold my 2 bitcoins when it was $300
- Regretted from price points of $1,000 and first $20k mark
- I got my chance to participate in a different way with a huge risk that probably could of gone wrong. I pretty much did a speculated gamble and bought in based off a tip online at an insider coinbase was listed a certain coin aka BCH at the time.
- Bought in at $9,000 price mark for of bitcoins used my credit card and bought BCH for possible cheap momentum
- Saw the insider spill on the news later, I was too much of a hurry to sell. I sold at $345ish bought at $160 i think. I just know I cleared enough to see my first 5 figures in cash in my hand in 3 days.
- Cleared $20,000 profit I think the true profit was $11,000.
- Blew on $10,000 and lost it all
- Bought into the lavish lifestyle that we get sold on by Instagram etc "HypeBeast" hahah. Buying a stupid $500 Balenciage t-shirt etc. Okay, cool I like mainstream fashion. But you know damn well I cant afford it.
- Took out cash advance and increase my credit limit to take a sizable amount for cash advance, and it took me to $11,000 cash in one week. Repay the advance and debt and play with the rest.
- I had the false entitlement of a fake rich young guy mentality who starved for a bit of attention. Blinded from my own ego, thinking to win at a game that has statistics of losing for the long run.
If you made it this far in reading or skimming I`m just glad you took your time to give some input.
I`m aware your input is just from your experience and it may or may not work out for me so its okay.
The quality of answers is limited to the attention I caused on this reddit so I get it.
I need your input on what I should do in my current situation and a plan of moving forward. Or just commenting with adding more to my pivot makes sense if you had made a similar transition. Anything at this point is welcome.
I started in late June-July
Note: I wrong a sh*t ton of drafts on words, but none fit the publications on medium and they are overcrowded with submissions. I plan to write way more then just "2 articles" I`ll update this post when I get a smaller publication putting my work. I need feedback so I can land a real writing job.
This following 2 links is what I plan to show for my writing experience, but imagine there's like 20 more articles. Do you think it would work to get a writing job?
Heres where I decided pivot:
- My writing approach now: I`m writing to get into Medium's actual publications so I can use it as a portfolio. I don't have a college degree. (The publication direction and accepting my work is going to be a gamble in itself, so I`m just writing for the smaller ones)
- Apply for a writing job and showcase my work, hopefully someone will take a shot at me. I then also to save for $5,000 for 1-2 months pay and begin trading with steve dux (just a heads up I knew his work before his $1million dollar. And he show his audits his trades preparing for a tax-return so the numbers which is the only reason why I plan learning a priceless skill. Yes, I`m aware the odds of hitting the same numbers slim.
- The cash earned if I get lucky enough to get hired, I`ll plan on outsourcing the writing, but I`ll be doing the actual quality editing myself.
- Hope to make a few good trades to get a momentum going to continue, and save the first profit as a back up "blow up" in case fund.
- Knowing trading has more immediate results, but also losses as well. But the idea of trading is taking a few opportunities in the market to place a trade than every time you see something is my approach.
Initially, I didn't know you can still have a margin account at $5,000 since the requirement is usually at $20,000 or I would of started back then when I had $11,000 cash.
Sorry, I know this was f*cking long.
