Straight Up Wealth

Straight Up Wealth

By ZEJA

I am a physician (M.D.) turned entrepreneur and educator. I grew up in an immigrant family focused on scarcity and saving. Always follow the safe path and the
sure thing. Save money, live frugal and that’s how life would go. I questioned nothing, followed that path and ended up unhappy, in $250k debt and not at all living the life I wanted. I had to educate myself on everything money and got quite upset that it had never been taught to me over my many years of “education”. This platform is an effort to remedy that.
