About Me

Hi, I’m Joe, a.k.a. SmallIvy. I’m a rocket scientist by day, but have been trading and investing for over three decades, starting when I was twelve. Through investing and money management, my wife and I were able to pay off our home and become financially independent by our early forties. This was with only one of us working most of that time and with less than a five-figure income, so it can be done. I’ve got two books published, one on investing to grow wealth and the other on money management with some investing mixed in. Check out the blog and feel free to ask questions in the comments.
