Well, as we all know, that didn’t pan out quite as planned. Instead, a pandemic struck and before we knew it, we were just waiting for 2020 to finish to get to 2021. With that said, I wouldn’t say 2020 was a complete disaster. While many…

I Have $0 Net Worth and Proud of It

Drumroll please… As of Oct 17, 2019 I currently have a whopping net worth of ZERO dollars! And if you thought I’d be depressed over it, well you’re wrong. I’m damn proud of my $0 net worth!
