Have a question, a suggestion, or just want to say hello? I’d love to hear from you.
I’m Steve — a 40-something mechanical engineer writing about the long, unglamorous work of building income outside a day job. Every message comes straight to me, and I answer every one myself.
What I’m glad to hear about
- Questions about something I wrote. If an explanation didn’t land, tell me which part. It usually means I wrote it badly, and it often turns into a better post.
- Corrections. If you spot a number, date, or fact that looks wrong, please tell me. See the note below — I take this seriously.
- Your own story. If you started investing later than you meant to, or you’re working through the same questions from a different country, I genuinely like reading these.
- Feedback on the site itself. Broken layout on your phone, a link that goes nowhere, a chart that won’t load — that kind of report is a favor to me.
What I can’t help with
I can’t give personalized financial advice. I’m not a financial advisor, a fund manager, or licensed in any capacity. If you write to ask whether you should buy a particular fund, sell a position, or restructure your retirement account, I won’t answer — not because I’m being unhelpful, but because giving individual investment advice without credentials or knowledge of your full situation would be irresponsible. For decisions like that, please speak with a qualified professional in your own country.
I also don’t accept sponsored posts, paid links, guest articles, or link-exchange requests. This site carries no affiliate links, and I’d like to keep it that way.
If you found an error
Please tell me which post and which specific claim. I verify every number against a primary source before publishing, but I’m one person and I do get things wrong. When I do, I correct the published post rather than quietly deleting it, and I’ll thank you for catching it.
Response time
I have a full-time job, so replies usually take a few days — sometimes longer if it’s a busy week at work. I read everything that isn’t obvious spam.
