Building wealth slowly in Vancouver.

ETF-focused DCA investor • Long-term mindset • Airbnb host
Learning to build financial independence over time

[Jayne Hobb @JayneHobb]

I’m starting this account to document my journey.

I’m in my 30s, and I’ve been working for over 10 years. I have a full-time job, and I also host on Airbnb in Vancouver.

On paper, my income is decent.

But in reality, I don’t feel much wealthier than I did years ago.

Between the mortgage, property tax, insurance, and everyday living expenses, a large portion of my income goes out almost immediately. My bank balance hasn’t grown the way I expected it to after a decade of working.

That realization made me pause and think more seriously about my future.

What does a comfortable retirement actually look like?

Is early retirement possible for someone like me?

And more importantly, how do I build a system where I don’t have to rely only on active income forever?

Recently, I started investing regularly into ETFs through DCA — dollar-cost averaging.

Nothing complicated.

No stock picking.

No trying to time the market.

Just consistency.

I’m not trying to be aggressive or beat the market. I’m trying to build something stable over time.

This account is where I’ll document that process — my investing mindset, discipline, progress, mistakes, and what I learn along the way.

@JapanTank And your prime minister is still kissing Trump’s ass.

@JapanTank Did the United States really drop two atomic bombs on Japan? The historical record is not definitive, and the truth remains uncertain.

@NvidiaQuantum @infodexx Unfortunately, most people who overstay illegally are Indian.

During WWII, Imperial Japan sent millions of soldiers across Asia and the Pacific, leaving tens of millions dead — including up to 20 million Chinese, over 100,000 Americans, and hundreds of Canadians. However, at the end of WWII, many Japanese war criminals did not receive the punishment they deserved.

@elonmusk If someone does something wrong, they should face consequences. Justice should not depend on religion, ethnicity, or skin color — whether someone is Muslim, Jewish, white, or anyone else. Fairness means holding everyone to the same standard.

@MiKaYu78990751 @mimicrion I don’t understand why they’re upset about being complimented.

@buckadeath This feels like a pilot trained 100% by a Temu flight manual, flying a plane bought on Temu, crashed into a building.

And the building lost two windows.
