To become successful on Medium, write great headlines, publish in big publications, and get your content curated… or so I thought.

How I generate tax-free dividends every month.
With all the stimulus checks and a boatload of extra free time that many people got, I noticed investing in the stock market became almost like a “trendy” activity that everyone wanted to try.

I’m on the verge of being unable to live without these things.
First-world problems. They tend to involve people complaining that one person took an hour longer than expected to respond to them or how they missed their game time because the parents pulled them out to do some work.

Why now? Why am I suddenly earning so much money?
Within the last three months, I’ve earned more money than I made in my entire previous year, and when I pull off this next auction in Calgary successfully, I will pull in five times what I earned last year.
