- Hustle to Make your Dreams Come True, Not for Someone Else's Dreams
I thought I wanted to be an Astrophysicist. Math was not easy, but I worked hard to get it. So much so that I eventually landed myself internships at UC Berkeley and NASA. With this resume I was able to get into an astrophysics PhD program at a UC. Everything was going my way. Then I realized, I wasn't getting the degree for myself but because of the jobs I could get with it. Now, I dropped out and I run three businesses. I'm saving up to go back for myself and myself only.

- FIRE - Financial Independence Retire Early
Hopefully you already know this, but if not I hope you pay attention. Did you know that retirement doesn't have to happen until you're old (age 65). You can retire early by simply being smart with your money and investing it. Just google how to invest your money. Don't fall for traps though, only invest in something you have done research on. And lastly, don't fall for the golden hand cuffs. Google that too, you'll thank me later.

- Work Life Balance
I came to Mexico City for two weeks. It's a vacation from everything and everyone. I simply needed a break. After spending the first five days doing nothing but explore and eating absolutely delicious food, I am back on my computer working. I shouldn't be surprised at the ephemeral nature of my "vacation" tank. For about 7 days straight I: wake up, run 2 miles, shower, clean up the AirBnB, open my laptop to practice typing with everyone here, work, sleep, and repeat.
