I am MQ and this is my wife Hana... When it comes to ordinary, Hana and I are as ordinary as can be. I didn’t grow up in a wealthy family; in fact as immigrants, we endured many trials and tribulations. Personally, I struggled with school and ended up with a very low-moderate academic background. Once I started working, rather than building on my middle-class income to get into the upper-class level, I blew much of my earnings away in my 20s all the way to mid-30s with countless bone-head financial decisions on ‘stuff’ like cars and excessive trips that have little or negative value over time, just like many ordinary Americans.

I am lucky to have a wife who was more astute with her money habits than mine. Thank God for Hana’s sound financial footing; she was holding strong and long enough for me to turn my financial habits around and get us on the same path to success. And even though Hana’s education was a bit more advanced than mine, she also grew up in an immigrant family with a very similar socioeconomic condition. 

Fundamentally, we are pretty much two peas in a pod. 

Welcome to our world!

Currently, I am an author, a financial coach, and a blogger trying to bring about financial awareness.   

Many people feel stuck living paycheck to paycheck. As a financial coach, I help clients find simple solutions to manage their finances and empower them to achieve financial wellness. 

Meanwhile, Hana is now enjoying  her from-home/not-so-stressful gig for the Insurance Company. We are just a regular middle-class income couple who has achieved Financial Independence (FI) by living below our means and passively investing the majority of our earnings. 

Now that we are financially independent, we're enjoying the next phase of our life and focusing on publishing books, which is what we love doing. I got to tell you, it's one of the most beautiful feelings in the world.
