i live in los angeles without a car, and my king-sized mattress is still on the floor. but they're part of a much bigger strategy. i'm min-maxing my late 20s, making intentional decisions about money, lifestyle, and what actually deserves my resources. because building wealth and performing wealth are two very different things. this is about financial freedom, delayed gratification, little luxuries, and creating the conditions to make some pretty big life changes. ⟡ SUBSCRIBE to follow my 100-day youtube experiment and the next chapter of my creative life.
