[@belljoe]

I thought about investing in the financial market, I heard that people make millions if you know the tricks of the trade, but I lack good knowledge and a strategy to outperform the market and generate good yields. I have $160,000 but it's hard to bite the bullet and do it.

A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for license advisors and came across someone of due diligence, helped a lot to grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to approx. $850k so far.

[@Ambi1021]

Wow! With parents like hers, I'm not surprised she's so successful.

[@Tkenny35]

A true hustler. For her to be able to build an interior design business in 2 years while working a 9-5 says a lot about her work ethic. Whats also interesting is her and her husband were able to buy a home for 675k and a piece of land for 450k so financially it seems like they are already set. The cost of building their dream home will probably be another 500k so all in that dream home with land cost will be over 1 mil. The surrounding homes around that vacant land seem like mansions too. What im saying is it doesnt even seem like she needs to do the side gig but shes a go-getter and want more out of life. A very smart woman. Inspiring!

I just hope this inspires someone to realize that it doesn't matter if you don't have any of these things yet, you can start today no matter your age. Change your future by investing! I made a rather big decision by investing in the financial market.*

[@adamgreat5180]

Investing in many sources of income that are independent on government paychecks is the prudent thing that everyone should be thinking about right now, especially given the global economic crisis. Stocks, forex, and digital currencies are still good investments at this time.

She is really knocking it out of the park. I started my second business life around the same age as she did and 15 years later, I’m semi-retired. She’s on the right track for the most part, except for that vacant lot. At her age with her young family, she cannot be sinking money for years without a return. She really should be investing that money now, either in a rental or at least in a stock index fund to get 8-9% annual returns. Do that for another 15 years and she’ll be much better prepared to build the dream house when she’s 50 with kids in high school.

[@SleazyDonny]

It sounds like her side hustle is her $126,000 government job at Port Authority.

[@jefflewis4]

Not really, she still makes most of her income from her port authority job. She made 126k for her port authority job, and 37k from her side business for total income of 163k. The Business had revenue of 400k, but much of that revenue has to go to pay architects, designers, etc which explains why she only paid herself 37k from that business. Her business is the side hustle, she's bringing in close to 40k extra a year from it. Not anywhere close yet to quitting her PA job for it. But if she grows that business, maybe.

Really enjoyed this segment. Inspirational for sure.

[@ThunderKat2012]

So true about the mortgage…if one of you dies the house still has to be paid for…life insurance people…20-30 dollars a month…because most people aren’t rich but at least you can set your family up for success

[@juntero256]

Thank you once again for your exceptional work and for sharing our journey with the world. 🥰

[@thegoldengatesound]

My 2/1 800sf condo here in SF cost much more than that large house…good for her. She’s doing big things and making a smart decisions with her $ Respect

[@prettyorganized9333]

That is not a side hustle, its a business.

[@pearla4731]

They definitely cook at home with that food budget. Great job.

[@StilettoShay]

. . . finally, someone who gets it. 💜

[@ipsilonia]

i noticed that too!

[@deedeesaidso5910]

This was truly inspiring. Changed my way of thinking on a couple things

[@gregory4154]

"Generational wealth for our children." This young lady has her head right where it's supposed to be. Extraordinary. And well done.

[@kingshomes8546]

Proud of you 🙏

[@ryanhuber1042]

*Thanks for continuing updates 👍🏻 I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (Oscar), Now I'm no longer in debt after lI invested $8,000 and got my payout of $120,500 every months,God bless Angela Christine Derle* 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..

[@emmybrown4031]

Hello , I am very interested. As you know, there are tons of investments out there and without solid knowledge, I can't decide what is best. Can you explain further how you invest and earn?

[@jenniferedwards506]

Hello how do you make such monthly?? I'm a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down 🤦‍♀️of myself because of low finance but I still believe in God

[@liciaramos320]

I'm favoured, $60K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America,, all thanks to Ms Angela 😊🎉

[@ceciliagriagore3273]

Thanks for the recommendation 🙏 how can I get to her ?

[@liciaramos320]

She's always active on Whats~App... 🎉

[@kckgirl78]

Congrats and continued blessings! 👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏽

[@dakine4238]

Way to go! Generational wealth is so important. I hope you enjoy your time and wealth with your family so precious!

[@millertime6]

Government as her main job and a side hustle for the loot. Smart combo!

[@MachusPichusAmigo]

almost 5k in child care jesus

[@wadesloan]

I know right. Our childcare expenses will be $3k+ when our 2nd child arrives in May, why does childcare have to be so expensive?!!!

[@spookysea-monster5297]

@@wadesloan Why? Liability insurance. Cuz if anything happens to your precious baby, you’ll be suing them for tens of millions of dollars and so will every other parent. Want cheaper costs? Then have a liability payout cap but politicians won’t pass those legislations.

[@skyhappy]

​@@wadesloanshouldn't have gotten children in this economy. You should have adopted if you wanted another one. Climate change is going to destroy the world because of too many humans.

[@wadesloan]

@spookysea-monster5297 fair point, but there's nothing we can do to change that in the short term. If anything changes, my kids will be too old for daycare haha

[@Memoreism]

I live on less than that monthly 😵

[@larklandbrady6704]

Wow! I went to school with her brothers. Congratulations to her!

[@TB-fk4qm]

Yesssssss Queen!!!!!! You are WINNING!!; ❤❤❤❤ CONGRATULATIONS! I'M SI PROUD OF YOU!;

[@MrLarrythehacker]

I'm curious with people like this when exactly do they do their side hustle? If not during their 9-5 then over the weekends? At nights? Most people don't work at that time so I'm not sure how you would collaborate with others.

[@JWEATHERSBY]

Great uplifting story to see! I hope they keep pressing forward!

[@aarynnjones3211]

As an architect by trade I found her story very inspiring. She didn’t wait to start a studio.

[@easyquickhowto4095]

Makes it seem so easy, well done you

[@destinyschild5768]

congratulations and keep going!!🎉

[@godismygeneral]

Wow congrats 🍾 I want to be like you!

[@adegokeibrahim7198]

Inspiring 💯

[@gabbymiles5655]

Awesome 👏🏿 love to see this!

[@GratitudeGriot]

Curious once their kiddos get school age is that when they will open the 529 and trust? Very impressive career and beautiful family!!

[@adriangarcia1342]

She seems so brilliant and has an agenda put together.

[@MminikaEffiong]

the $163k as an architectural designer is wild enough, I need to know more about that

[@raquelcabistan3771]

The way the baby looks at her! ❤

[@AntwoineMcknight1993]

I'm confused how can you make 150k+ and not want to pay your student debit? Can I buy a house and then be forgiven the expenses when I decide I don't care to pay it? What about my car note?

[@jolourdesalcinor4180]

She work for the government. If she signed up for the loan forgiveness program. That’s not the same as the Biden plan. They always had it for government workers. They will pay your student loan after a certain amount of payments and/or she work the minimum years. In High School my economics teacher that’s what she did.

[@kostetze]

Waiting for “loans forgiveness “. Or that tax payers pay for her success

[@reneestevens7337]

stop hatin Twan

[@BLACKAAROW]

@@kostetze yeah, also like 99% of people who apply for forgiveness after 10 years still get denied! and plus, even if the debt is forgiven she's gonna get a huge tax bill from the IRS because any debt that is cancelled is considered income and you will have to pay your ordinary tax rate on that

[@brooklynforever1990]

If she working a city job she qualifies potentially why hate
