In general, I'm somebody that tries to avoid concrete plans.

I said kind of goals and follow my heart, but what I mean by that sometimes is that I'm still investing into the future.

I'm just not doing it in an overly structured way, such that I listen to what my gut tells me will create a better future for me.

The thing I really learned on the financial side of things is that there's a lot of companies, a lot of banks, a lot of services that make investing really difficult.

And the difficulty comes from the interface of the website.

I can't tell you how many services I've used in the past that don't get this right.

Anyway, that's like the biggest thing I can say that's positive about wealth front.

It's easy to invest and it's fun.
