About Me and Liquid 2K
Welcome to Liquid 2K!
Hi! I’m Scott Hough, and if you’re interested in all things finance, you’ve come to the right place! I’m glad you’re here, and I’m excited to tell you all about my journey with finance. My interest in money matters started quite young, as I was always known for being stingy and hardly ever spending on anything. Coupled with an interest in accounting and numbers, I went on to pursue a finance degree, and it was after this that my journey truly began. I ended up squandering a lot of the hard-earned money from my first job on some impressively bad financial decisions, including investing in hyped stocks and crypto without speaking to a professional, failing to diversify my investments, and impulsively buying and selling stocks. Despite working as a financial advisor, I often found myself succumbing to the risks I warned my clients against.
After struggling financially (and mentally) with the burden of my investment failures for a couple of years, I finally got my feet back on the ground. I used my own financial knowledge, combined with advice from more experienced investors, to make more informed decisions and keep my money safe. I took calculated risks, refrained from putting all my eggs in one basket, and ended up enjoying the fruits of my labour. Now, I carefully follow the latest investment trends and finance news to provide to you my insights and analysis on various finance-related topics. I started Liquid 2K to share the stories of my failures and successes to like-minded individuals, and to help my readers make smart investment decisions. Do reach out in case of any questions or feedback you may have for me, as I love engaging with my readers!
