This is the place to share a little about who you are, where you’re at on your financial journey, and what brought you here.We’re building more than just an investing community — this is a movement of people learning how to create lasting wealth through stocks, options, and beyond. A few prompts to help you get started: - 🌍 Where are you joining us from? - 📈 What’s your experience with investing so far? (beginner, active trader, long-term investor, etc.) - 🎯 What’s one financial goal you’d love to accomplish in the next 12 months? - 🌊 Fun one: If wealth is a river, what “part of the river” do you feel you’re in right now? (just stepping in, floating along, navigating rapids…) We can all learn from each other, so don’t be shy. The more you share, the more connected and valuable this community becomes. I will start with mine: Hey everyone — Jeff here. Excited to officially kick off the River of Wealth community. - 🌍 Where I’m from: I live in Newport Beach, California, with my two daughters (5 and 3). - 📈 Investing experience: I started investing when I was 13. I took the $1,000 I received from my bar mitzvah and put it in the stock market. During the dot-com boom I grew it to $20k — and then during the crash, it went right back down to $1,000. Painful, but I learned a ton from that experience. Over time, I rebuilt. I started investing heavily in Apple at $7/share, and eventually taught myself how to trade options so I could leverage capital and design precise, consistent strategies. - 🎯 My next 12-month financial goal: To generate consistent six-figure monthly cashflow from options trading while expanding into bigger real estate projects (like hotels and wellness resorts) with creative capital structures. - 🌊 Where I am on the river: I feel like I’m navigating the rapids — there’s momentum, flow, and power behind the strategies I’ve learned. But the goal now is to teach others how to step into the river and build confidence at every stage.
