For a long time, I thought I was doing everything right. I was making good money. I was saving aggressively. My retirement accounts were growing, my net worth was climbing year after year, and from the outside, things looked exactly the way they were supposed to. And yet, there was this constant, low-level anxiety that never really went away. Not panic. Not burnout-level crisis. Just a quiet hum in the background. It showed up when […]
Let’s clear something about passive income up right away. If you don’t have passive income yet, it’s probably not because you don’t have enough money. That’s the story we tell ourselves because it’s convenient. Money is an easy villain. It lets us delay action without confronting the harder stuff. “I’ll start once I have more cash.”“I just need a little runway.”“I’d do this if money wasn’t so tight.” I believed that too. And it kept […]
People ask if the Wheel strategy actually works for ‘Late Starters’ —folks who didn’t spend 20 years on Wall Street. I don’t give opinions; I provide receipts. In 2025, using my $300,000 Equity account, I earned $72,838 in options premiums or a 24.3% return on capital.

Two books sat on my reading list for very different reasons. Both ended up teaching me the same lesson. The Great Depression: A Diary by Benjamin Roth is a quiet, intimate account—a lawyer in Youngstown, Ohio, documenting his observations and financial decisions from 1929 through the 1940s. His diary entries are remarkable for their immediacy and honesty. 1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History by Andrew Ross Sorkin is the opposite in style—sweeping, […]
