Hey there! My name is Mike (aka MJ)

I was raised in a dysfunctional--normal--family in a struggling suburb of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that taught the importance of living below your means and to appreciate what you have. That dumpster diving was OK and not seeing Aliens was a caused for concern. They expressed the vital life lesson that nothing is given on a silver platter, but earned by hard work and determination. That little frugality goes a long way. I am a Penny Hoarder. I am a Jordan.

Everything I have, I worked hard for. There's a great sense of Pride that comes to surface when a man like myself takes on the unknown and walks out better, braver and bolder.

What I'm trying to say is this: What I have, the man I am, who and what I choose to invest in, and the Life I'm living, all stem from the principles my Mother and late Father have instilled in me at such a early age. These beliefs and life-guiding principles have become my foundation. My battlecry. My anthem! I know I can take on the future because I've been through my past. I am a Conqueror. I am a Champion! I am, dare I say, Charmer. 😊

It has been working so far. Why change it?
