Who Am I?

I've achieved the American dream. My family & I arrived in America in 1982 in the aftermath of the Vietnam war as boat people. Overcoming many hardships and inequities, we found our own measure of success. My parents sacrificed much, as have I. And thankfully, we have a lot to show for it. Today, we call ourselves proud Americans.

Now, I'm trying to find my place in the world, just like the rest of us. I've had the fortune of traveling the world, but live in beautiful San Diego, CA. I've come to the realization that the most valuable thing you can buy is time. As such, I'm working hard to reclaim that time for myself and begin that next chapter of my life in earnest.

YouTube Channel

Please check out my YouTube channel where I share videos on investing, retirement planning, and personal finance. It's a small channel that I started some 10 years ago. Over the years I've been fortunate enough to have a few loyal subscribers and enough revenue to buy me a cup of coffee once in a while. You can check it out at: Phuoc's YouTube Channel. Your support is much appreciated!

Interests & Hobbies

Finance & Investing

Financial literacy is important to me, coming from humble beginnings. My investments provide the financial freedom to live life as I desire.

Programming

I enjoy programming. It provides me with an intellectual, artistic, and creative outlet. There is beauty in using logic to solve problems. My favorite language is Python.

Photography

Photography allows me to have a creative outlet and is one of the few art forms where I can have some form of success. I currently shoot with a Fujifilm X-T4.

Cooking

I enjoy cooking and learning to cook new dishes. It's practical but also allows me to be creative to make each new dish my own.

Learning & Reading

Learning is a lifelong passion. I'm naturally curious and there's so much to learn. Fortunately with the abundance of information these days, it's never been easier.
