You don't need $100,000 to start—here's a step-by-step playbook to begin with $10K in 2025.What's inside (5 Wealth Moves):Invest in skills first. Prioritize high-income skills (sales/design/marketing), mentors, targeted events, and curated free education. Income growth is the #1 wealth tool.Leverage the “boring” compounding. Open a Roth IRA or capture employer 401(k) match. Example: $500/mo for ~30 years at a 7% average could land in the ~$610–$650K range tax-free; maxing to $7K/yr could approach ~$770K (illustrative, not guaranteed).Smart Crypto (not YOLO). Treat crypto as a developing asset class: emphasize networks closer to adoption (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum; with select satellites only if aligned with risk tolerance). Keep allocation responsible.House-Hack with FHA. Consider a duplex/triplex/quad with ~3.5% down; live in one unit for a year, rent the others, then convert to a cash-flowing asset. Example: $300K duplex → ~3.5% down (~$10,500), credit 580+, rents can offset a significant share of the payment.Passive Real Estate. Participate in larger deals without day-to-day management, aiming for cash flow, appreciation, and potential K-1 tax benefits. Traditional hurdles include accreditation and $25K–$50K minimums see update below for smaller checks.A new offering is open to non-accredited investors with a $5,000 minimum, a starting path into real estate.

Researchers at TU Dublin have secured over €650K to develop innovative cancer diagnostic technology under the prestigious Taighde Éireann - Research Ireland Pathway Programme. The award is part of a national €23 million investment announced today by Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, aimed at empowering Ireland's emerging research leaders. "This investment, through Research Ireland's Pathway programme, will support emerging researchers in their journey from postdoctoral work towards establishing themselves as independent investigators. The projects receiving funding span a broad range of disciplines, ensuring a broad impact on scientific discovery and societal progress. By aligning with Ireland's national research priorities, these projects will help drive advancements in key sectors such as healthcare, environmental sustainability, history and education," stated Minister Lawless The research, led by Dr Anand V.R., a postdoctoral research fellow at TU Dublin's Photonics Research Centre (PRC), will combine two advanced light-based technologies - whispering gallery mode (WGM) sensing and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) - to build a powerful new tool for detecting cancer. This new system won't need chemical labels and will be highly sensitive, making it possible to quickly and accurately detect important cancer signals in the body, even in very small amounts. Based at TU Dublin's Photonics Research Centre, the project will benefit from the Centre's state-of-the-art facilities, including 90m of specialised lab space and a multidisciplinary research environment. The project will also engage a PhD student under the co-supervision of PRC Director Prof. Yuliya Semenova. Further collaboration will come from TU Dublin's Nanolab Research Centre (NRC), led by Dr Furong Tian, whose expertise in nanomaterials and nanoparticle modification will support the development of the sensor's biomedical capabilities. A key outcome of the project will be the creation of a proof-of-concept prototype for a rapid, non-invasive diagnostic tool that can detect minute quantities of breast cancer biomarkers in blood samples, offering promise for earlier detection and improved patient outcomes. "I am honoured to receive this support through the Taighde Éireann - Research Ireland Pathway Programme. This funding will enable us to develop a next-generation biosensing platform that merges the unique advantages of whispering gallery mode resonant sensing and surface-enhanced Raman scattering," said Dr Anand V.R. "Our goal is to dramatically improve the speed, sensitivity, and accuracy of breast cancer detection. This project is a testament to the collaborative research environment fostered at the Photonics Research Centre and Nanolab Research Centre, and I look forward to translating our scientific innovation into real-world clinical impact." Commenting on the awards, Celine Fitzgerald, Interim CEO, Research Ireland, said "Our Pathway programme equips promising researchers with the resources needed to reach the next level and help drive impactful discoveries. These projects will contribute valuable insights into pressing global and national issues, including public health policy, digital well-being, technological advancements, healthcare and more." The Taighde Éireann - Research Ireland Pathway Programme is co-funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI), and Met Éireann, contributing a total of €1.7 million to support projects with cross-sectoral relevance in sustainability, environment, and climate.

In this episode of the GovCon Giants Podcast, I sit down with Pierce, a former intel analyst who's now knee-deep in the innovation game—helping non-traditional contractors break into defense and federal markets. With the new Executive Order pushing modernization in defense acquisitions, there's never been a better time for small businesses, startups, and technologists to step up. Pierce and I break down how these players are landing six-figure awards—some in under 15 minutes.

If you've got tech—or even just a great idea—Pierce shares the blueprint for building a winning quad chart and pitch deck that gets attention from agencies like DoD and NASA. Don't miss this one.
You’ve probably heard the hype: tech jobs = massive salaries. But can you still get a slice of the pie if you don’t work in a technical role? This week’s Money Diarist is here to say… yes, you absolutely can. She’s in her early 30s, earning up to $650K "total comp" a year and building her dream home. But her path into tech was anything but traditional. No coding background, just a string of gutsy moves, lucky breaks, and saying yes before she felt “ready.” We talk about what big tech money actually looks like behind the scenes: the shares, the bonuses, the six-figure tax bills, the lifestyle creep... and the pressure that comes with it all. She’s open, honest, and full of wisdom about building wealth in a world that wasn’t necessarily built for her. If you’ve ever looked at a job description and thought, “I don’t tick all the boxes, so I won’t apply,” this one’s your sign to rethink what’s possible.
