Investing is a journey and it’s intertwined with your life journey but in the end investing is just a tool to live the good life.
Learn To Be a Better Investor
To be a good investor is not just about picking a stock and reading financial statements. It’s understanding money. There are some popular books popularized around analyzing stocks but I have not read many of them. They are too technical, and I wanted a simpler method of analysis for selecting stocks.
📚 Die With Zero
Learn about maximizing your money for all your pleasures all the way to the last cent. This is actually a game changer in planning retirement.
📚 Rich Dad Poor Dad
Learn to think about money and career differently. The sooner you do, the better your relationship with money will be.
📚 The Investment Zoo
Great dividend investing book. I read it at the beginning of my journey.
📚 Millionaire Teacher
Learn the fundamentals of investing and how to get started easily. You’ll learn to navigate the products banks often offer you that aren’t necessarily good for you.
📚 Cold Hard Truth on Family, Kids, and Money
Your marriage is a financial contract, and your spouse is a business partner – Does that resonate?
Investor Tools
As a DIY investor, you need your investing toolkit. At a minimum a broker and then all the other tools to help make smart investing decisions.
🛠️ Questrade
It’s the cheapest full broker out there aside from National Bank. Wait for promotions to transfer large assets.

It’s the cheapest and easiest to get started with.
🛠️ Stock Rover
One of the cheapest full service screener.
My Travel Hacks
Traveling doesn’t have to be hard or exhausting. Over the years, I have adapted to various tools for the smoothess travels.

The best power bank I have used. I haved had a few but this one is fast and holds a lot of battery to charge multiple devices.

I use this clip during my office workday and during my travel when I want to use my phone for entertainment.
✈️ Sleep Mask
It’s hard to control all the blinds when flying 🥺, with this mask, you can block it all.
✈️ SONY Headphones
Best noise cancelling headphones. Great for work but paired with the sleep mask, you will fly in silence.
Stay Healthy & Enjoy New Experiences
No, this isn’t about helping you do your own stunts in your 60’s like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible. However, staying healthy goes a long way when travelling, and experiencing new wonders. Can you walk 20,000 steps per day without struggling?

Yes, it does many many things but it’s really about health. It’s part of a big health strategy for Apple. Count your steps and more.
