I am an amateur investor. I make mistakes. I write about my Do-It-Yourself (DIY) investing journey. This is my journey for information purposes so it is not yours.
Thankfully, I’ve made more good decisions than bad over the years. My site is a tool to pay it forward to others who want to engage in any DIY investing journey or sharing.
My Own Advisor is not a licensed financial professional, tax expert, insurance guru or accounting whiz – even though my wife is very proud of me.
I’m just learning and applying those learnings to my own journey as best as I can. I use this site to share what I know, and just as importantly what I don’t know.
My Own Advisor is not responsible for any investment decisions you make. You should consider consulting a financial professional who has demonstrated expertise in any subject matter before making any important investment decisions.
Even then, all financial decisions are yours and your responsibility.
To summarize:
“The lesson isn’t avoiding failure. It’s refusing to let failure define the outcome.”
