Today I'm pretty pumped up to be a contributor to a high-profile blog, FinerMinds.com. If you don't know much about it, well, it's a Mind Valley project, and Mind Valley is one of the most sought-after companies to work in, if you're looking to create some audience based business. They have a solid history of performant content creation and they're also promoting good values.
If you're curious about the article, here's the intro:
I’m a geek, I can’t help it.
I mean, I tried many things in my life: I worked as a radio anchor, I owned and managed a co-working space, I’ve been tango teacher and many more. But truth is that the deep fascination with computers that I experienced since I was 16 years old (and back then many computers were still programmed with punch cards), never fade out. 30 years later, I still enjoy tremendously to dig into code, to compile some edgy app or to write a quick piece of software. Not to mention that I’m currently working as a full stack developer, which, needless to mention, makes me very happy.
In my geek life I learned and applied more than a dozen of programming languages. And the impact of this activity went way beyond the professional level. As a matter of fact, I realized that many approaches used in software development can be successfully applied in other areas of life. Like, for instance, in wealth management.
So, without further ado, here's the full link:

I really enjoyed this article. I loved how you bridged your experience as a programmer with wealth management advice. I learned a lot about both worlds in the process.
From my own experience, another thing that is helpful to have in wealth management is an application that assists with budgeting before the fact. Most of budgeting typically focuses on taking a historical record of spending. A important thing to have is something that will proactively assist you in managing your spending so you can save better. :)

Yes, precisely :) I have a set of habits that I developed based on tools like that. For instance, I'm putting aside 10% out of everything that I get, when I get it. I put it aside and I simply forget about it.
And, in the long run, this allows for small "miracles", like having a cushion of safety when the shit hits the fan...

You have an excellent set of habits. Saving 10% of your gross income is almost mandatory for retirement as well for additional major expenses. If you are actively investing, that should give you enough capital for compound interest to work its magic.

Great advice presented in a way that coders will natively understand. I particularly liked the advice to fan out data, or diversify. Little is more important. Agile sprints are also a means of scaling endeavors to human nature.
I'm not a coder, but a carpenter, and that's just how people do projects. The US Army is famous also, for 'hurry up and wait', meaning brief spurts of activity surrounded by tranquil seas of boredom (ok, it means run to the end of the next ungodly-long line, but it's my story and I'll tell it how I wanna).
Get stuff done when it's time to do it, do something else until it's time to have a look at what you did, and then deal with the reality on the ground.
Really the only way to live.
