A bit of good news,

Since coming to the US of A in the fall of 2021, I’ve pursued my goals with an albatross around my neck: student loans.

Higher education is meant to to improve quality of life through access to high-quality jobs, greater stability, higher earnings, and benefits, but financial and psychological burdens make many question the value of their degree.

August 2021 marks the first time I (independently) took on a debt to invest in myself. Today, I paid it off.

I hope I get to figure all this out with you! I would love to hear from you if any of this sounds familiar, or if you have more questions. Let me in the comment section or email me at [email protected].

Next time, we will get back to talking about investing, and I hope to learn from all of you as I begin a journey of my own.

Note from the creator

After a brief pause, and much mulling about what this publication is, here’s a few things I hope to embody at Cashflow Connect

* To go beyond the facts of any financial situation; to look at the emotional, historical, and social motivators.

* To reflect my unique position; a blend of privilege, and the lack thereof as an immigrant, and Indian.

To make sure I can consistently provide value through this newsletter - both to you, and to myself — editions will be shorter and more regular.
