The Broke AF Diaries
Note 1 Just so you know:
This page is all about my money adventures on the road to wealthy investor.
We are going from broke to getting rich slowly.
This is my own private version of Wild On E! For those of you that are unfamiliar, this was a series on E! hosted by Brooke Burke from 1999-2003 and took you all over the globe to have some fun.
You will travel with me on all my adventures while I travel the globe.
Note 2 Just so you know:
You will get to see me go from a negative net worth to a positive one.
As my budget expands and I get to open up my wallet, you will see my excursions as I experience them. I will show you what its like to become fiscally fit and what you can do when you have some money in the bank.
I will provide you with pictures and commentary along the way. Along with hotel, theme parks, and restaurant reviews.
Note 3 Just so you know:
I also got to meet celebrities at Comic Conventions like the one they host in Washington DC called AwesomeCon.
I will share pictures and videos from my times there.
P.S. It is always best to get the VIP badge for $150. You get to cut the lines for pictures, autographs, Q&A sessions with your favorite celebrities, and you have a separate entrance. They treat you like a rock star! Money talks!
So sit back, relax, and enjoy these posts! Let the entertainment begin!
