Housing in Austin is no joke if you’re going to the University of Texas. Make sure you don’t fall for the fancy showrooms in those nice apartment complexes. They’re not as pretty as you think. I learned the hard way when they put me in a closet and charged me $800/month. I quickly got out of that lease and had to commute from Houston and sleep on a friend’s couch for two weeks. I was homeless. Joke: Why can’t you hear a pterodactyl go to the bathroom? (Listen for the answer at the end!)

Having friends is an important factor in our lives. They help you when you're feeling down. And without them, we wouldn't be the people we are today.

IRAs are Individual Retirement Accounts. They help you shield away your hard earned money from taxes! But picking the right one can be tough, especially since each person is a little different.

I told everyone my food was 5 stars when it was really 3 stars - and that's being generous. So I looked up recipes on Youtube, came across Jamie Oliver's perfect scrambled eggs and eventually found Tasty and Bon Appétit's Videos. Next thing I knew, I started to bake, making trips to HEB at 1 AM in the morning to make carrot cake until 3:28 AM. It's the final part to how I started my cooking journey! But, the fun won't end there. Stay tuned for more possible recipes and story time! Joke: What do you call a mango that paints? (Listen for the answer at the end!)

This book Anything You Want by Derek Sivers reignited my fire to read. It was a nice short book with so many awesome tidbits that really made you empathize and have those "Ah!!! That's Me!" moments!

My cooking journey continues as I venture to another state! As a high schooler trying to be a college student in Summer of 2015, I had to learn to cook because if I didn't, I starved. My first time cooking pasta was a success! In a dingy apartment in Berkeley, we made kimchi fried rice, spicy Korean rice cakes (Tteokbokki), and snow pea leaves with garlic. If I didn't want to starve, I had to get in the kitchen and try. Joke: What cookies do pirates like to eat? (Listen for the answer at the end!)

School orchestra can be a fun experience where we can play music that brings joy to others. However, for a handful of school orchestras, it’s not all about bringing the joy, it’s about building up the orchestra director’s reputation.

Take 10 minutes to open a Roth IRA today! (1) There are no longer any commission fees associated with brokers* (2) They're super savings accounts!

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a chef, all because of a few cooking experiences and watching the Food Network channel. I love food delivery but grocery shopping and cooking food for the family is one of my life’s passions. At the age of 3, I cried if I couldn’t peel carrots or chop meat. All because Scooby Doo and Cartoon Network impeded my small, developing brain. Frying canned corned beef and squealing with my brothers was pretty memorable for a 9 yr old. That and also cooking one last meal together as a family. Joke: What did the peanut say to the cashew when it sneezed? (Listen for the answer at the end!)

As a violinist, I had a dream of reaching the top ranked orchestra to play a lot of fun and challenging music. However, because of one disagreement that I had with my orchestra directors, not only was I placed in the lowest ranked orchestra, but I realized that my skills as a musician didn’t really matter… Adapted from the following post: bit.ly/3kvjqeE How you can connect with us: Subscribe to our blog at www.nguyeninglifestyles.com Check out our video content at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEkh-IZNoaVPWTo7-CdxF_A Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/NguyeningLifestyles/ Instagram - www.instagram.com/nguyeninglifestyles Linkedin - www.linkedin.com/company/nguyeninglifestyles Twitter - @NguyeningWithUs TikTok - @NguyeningLifestyles Host: Chris Nguyen Music - No. 2 Remembering Her by Esther Abrami Podcasting Mic: K780A FIFINE Stereo Microphone https://amzn.to/2F2DzEGz4

6-Figures just doesn't mean as much as it used to. Where you live definitely matters! In New York, you're really only taking home close to $68k if you're making $100k base salary. If you think about it in terms of time, you're giving up about 3-4 months. That's about 10-14 years by retirement pending if where you live has a state income tax! So instead, lets take some time to learn how to minimize our tax burden through Roth IRAs and Retirement accounts!

When you’’re a college student and living by yourself, it’’s totally hard to budget between food, rent, tuition, and that latest textbook that the professors make you buy.

A new year in college is always exciting, especially during the summer! New apartment, new food, new adventures! But the purpose for attending college during the summer will always be the same: to study. I spent my summer after junior year in high school at UC Berkeley with my brother and Susie once again. This time to tackle the organic chemistry series and to eat amazing food! There's nothing better than eating all you can eat (AYCE) KBBQ to your hearts content.

Toys that we had as kids contain meaningful memories of our childhood. But as we grow older, these so-called “toys” that held our precious memories now hold value… in money! A PSA 10 holographic first edition Charizard can be worth anywhere from $20,000-$50,000. If you collected Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh cards back in the 90s, they can be worth so much now! Don’t throw them away! Make sure to keep them in good condition. I have a shiny Torchic that is worth $500 still in mint condition! If you still have your cards and/or toys today, they may help you financially in the future (or pay off your college tuition)!

You decide how you want to live your life! Maybe that means having multiple careers and doing them in short 3-5 year bursts! I mean, according to a variety of sources, it only takes an average of 10,000 hours to "master" something, so you don't have to do it for 40+ years if you don't want to! The key is to do what you love. But how? Find ways to live frugally and generate assets and passive income to pay for everything you want in life! Then you don't have to worry about the money aspect!

College life is fun! Scavenging for free stuff, going out to eat, hanging out with friends. But it's not so fun when you're walking down the street late at night clutching onto a frying pan, scared for your life. Nor is it fun when you're "studying."

This is Part 1 of my 3 part series on retirement and how we're going to break all the rules in 2020 and get started on living a fulfilling and happy life! Don't let money be the reason why you don't have enough to do everything you love! We've always thought that life happened in a linear fashion: (1) go to school → (2) get a job → (3) retire. What people don't talk about is all the work that comes in between and the chances for things to go wrong!

Social life is tough, especially for an 8 year old. As a child, we don't think before we speak, or we just don't think our words hurt. But they actually do. And children are very emotional and impressionable at this age. So much so that it hurt me when someone made fun of me for the Disney shirts I wore to school. Don't be a bully.

Common dual degrees for physicians, whether you're going for an MD or a DO, include MBA, MS, MA, and the most common, PhD. But what about MD/JD or DO/JD? Most people think that these two fields are unrelated or are too hard to go through. Other's believe that it's financially more taxing. It doesn't help how there aren't many people in the world who have done and there aren't many discussions integrating both the medical and law worlds. In this episode, check out how adding a JD to your medical degree isn't so different than a PhD. Physician Lawyers exist.

Part 1 in our Confidence and Motivation Series. As a first generation Asian American, I saw firsthand how my parents and grandparents felt like their voices weren't heard. They believed that they didn't have the right to advocate for themselves. A lot of this has to do with our society and being in a new country. But some of it has to do with how people discourage the idea of entitlement. And no, I don't mean the snobby, pompous, prick kind of entitlement. I'm talking about the kind of entitlement that lets you speak up, ask questions, and voice your concerns when you're at the doctors - or in this case when you're getting your glasses. This episode is dedicated to our Ong Ngaoi, our maternal grandfather who was there with us since Day 1.

Hi! My name is Gen Nguyen, pronounced "Jen Win," and I'm currently unemployed, but working full-time on myself. I'm not successful career-wise, but I consider myself successful in my own ways. I've made a ton of mistakes but each one has lead me to become the person who I am today! If you're curious as to who that person is, come follow me on this journey we call life. I'll share all my experiences (the ones I can remember), maybe give some impactful life lessons, or even crack a couple puns and jokes! Here's a joke: What did the sushi say to the bee?

My name is Nicholas Dang Khoa Cong Nguyen and this is my blog! I want to emphasize my middle name because most of my family call me Khoa, I was named after my grandfather (Cong), and Dang is just a rockin’ name. But you, my friends, can just call me Nick. I’m just your friendly digital neighbor trying to share my inner thoughts, unpopular opinions, and interesting (a.k.a. nerdy) facts about personal finance, motivation, confidence, family, life, etc. with my future self! Feel free to stick around for the ride! Adapted from the following post: https://bit.ly/3h68dic How you can connect with us: Subscribe to our blog at www.nguyeninglifestyles.com.

We're scrappers from Dorchester, MA turned "Educated" Citizens. Our goal is to create a community bent on searching for happiness and motivation! But our number one reason to create this blog is to give back to our parents, who risked it all to give their families a better life. We'd also like to dedicate this to two of our grandfathers, Ba Cong Nguyen and Larry Reynolds - two men who believed in spreading and sharing love to those around them. In this episode, we give you our definition of success, our plans moving forward, and how you can help support us! Thanks again for taking the time to check us out!
