Thanks for sharing this! I think a much less talked aspect of how your world view is shaped by financial culture in the family. People go one of two ways: 1. Be shaped by exactly how their families handled money or 2. Be shaped to go opposite of how their families handled money. I guess in your case, it's more of the latter although it's never binary. For me, it's a little bit of the other way. My family was super conservative in their financial decisions and my dad mostly made very sober choices. This was great but it also left me with a sense of adventure to be a little more risky than him and invest in relatively more volatile assets.
still remember the day you asked sir frans to help with HKUST scholarship during breaktimr. i think it was the first time i saw you that upset at school 🥲 *sigh* oh uncle ir and his millions of hobbies… (ALSO HOW I MISS KARUHUN CHIPS)

So true. We do end up always a mix of inside & outside influence. But our family influence is very strong.

woah I do NOT remember that.
OM WIR 🥲🥲🥲
I miss the chips but do not miss how much they burn (OK maybe I miss it a little)
I had no idea you that you've been a hustling entrepreneur for so long. This was really fun. Struggles really do forge something of value.
Thanks Rick. I learned very very quickly that inventory management for products with a shelf life was very hard!
Wow. What a story. Kudos for sticking to s&p 500 too.
I'm a long game! Thanks for the encouragement.
