Stan Leong: Engineering Your Finances

Description

#53 – Stan Leong: Engineering Your Finances

Stan is a Buffalo Bills fan, like Bert.
Electrical engineer from Cornell
Likes how the simple things of electronics build into complex things.
Was laid off the week after he bought his first house.
Saw a financial job on Monster.com (remember that?)
Got all his clients through cold calling
So miserable his wife handing out resumes to engineering companies. 15:00
After a rough start, he now loves his career- and is still using his engineering skills.
Engineers are good with numbers, unless there is a dollar sign before them.
Don’t own too much of your company stock.
It is easy to buy stock, it is hard to sell it.
Great book – “Millionaire Next Door”
The threshold for an accredited investor hasn’t changed.
Is active in ju-jitsu and it’s the hardest thing he has done.
Right now he is cautiously optimistic about investing.
