New York Inspired Me to Have a Wealth Mindset.

Even though I don’t live in New York

I owe all to those business and wall street movies back in the 80s and 90s. Movies like Trading Places, Baby Boom, The Associate, Home Alone 2, and other movies like Jingle All the Way, filmed in Minneapolis.

I remember watching the men on-screen in their business suits and briefcase in hand.

White flakes usually speckled the black cloth of their overcoat from the snow outside.

These movies were often filmed during the holiday season.

This is probably why I cannot help but associate Christmas and finance — the two together bring me warmth in my adult years.

Does this make me a die-hard capitalist? I don’t believe so, but I like to put on Christmas music while pouring over the numbers whenever I get my account statements.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎙️

I always wondered about Kevin McCallister's dad, Peter, from Home Alone and what he did for a living to afford such a big house while taking care of all those family members.

I always had it in the back of my mind that he was in business and finance — had some investments on the side.

But who really knows — allegedly just from googling, my suspicions were correct, and he made his money through the stock exchange.

All these movies combined with New York and other large metropolitan cities influenced me at a young age to want to find a path to success through business and finance.

The idea of owning property near New York City gave me deep inspiration that I turned my one-bedroom apartment into a brownstone-ish pad where I have old stock certificates hung up behind the sofa.
