Last year while traveling, I had the rare leisure to sit and drink coffee for an entire afternoon (mainly because the coffee wasn't cheap either, hahaha). My mind couldn't help but dwell on mundane questions: where does the money come from? Where is my side hustle? 😭

Thank you to myself for going to HK to operate in the second half of 2025. I don't know why the algorithm keeps pushing this kind of content to me 🤣. Arriving at Longbridge, for the first few months, I was still messing with Hong Kong stocks (the only ones I could name were these China concept stocks; I had no idea what US stocks were, like the "Magnificent Seven" or what Buffett's company was 🤣). By chance, I bought AMD and made some money (What?! US stocks are this easy to make money on?). The most important turning point was stumbling upon Value Brother (this year, I want to especially thank this serendipity). I'm very happy I finally found my lifelong side hustle as another layer of security in life (I still think it can't be my main job; focusing on it too often easily leads to poor execution 🤔). I also have a bit of an idea about financial planning now 🤔.

😄 Thinking about this side hustle:

1. No age limit, 35 is not a barrier.

2. No education limit, it's all about skill and understanding.

3. No capital limit, small money earns small, big money earns big.

4. No physical limit, it's not manual labor.

5. Forces you to plan your finances and exposes you to things like sui.

6. Gives you a little more understanding of human nature, which feeds back into life.

Feel free to leave comments to add more 🤣.
