Finance Stories

At twenty, Trinity Thomas is a focused, disciplined pre-law student who believes in control, not luck, and definitely not distractions. Raised in a working-class home by an overworked mother and a father lost to the system, she learned early that survival comes before dreams. Watching the law fail people like her father, but protect those who knew how to use it, drove her to master it. With an analytical mind and a guarded heart, Trinity is determined to become an attorney and never again be powerless. Love, vulnerability, and emotional risks have no place in her plans. At least, that's what she tells herself. At twenty-one, Cristian Rowan is everyone's favorite success story-the starting shooting guard, the golden boy, the one who always smiles under pressure. Warm, playful, and endlessly loyal, he makes everything look easy, even when it isn't. Raised in a close-knit family where basketball was more than a game, Cristian learned to be dependable before he learned to be honest about being tired. The spotlight loves him, but it also traps him. While the world assumes the court will carry him forever, he's quietly building a future in finance, afraid of who he'll be when the cheers fade. He's optimistic, driven, and secretly terrified of becoming forgettable. And he's running out of time to figure out who he really is without the jersey.

A personal attempt to understand economics and our interaction with money. Unlike any real artistic expression I used chatGBT massively on this project. Along with reading material like: The intelligent investor and the alchemy of finance. I'd claim that 70-80% of words are original and mine as I haven't yet found my voice in the economic ecosystem yet. But chapter 1: mechanics before philosophy. Econ 101 is 90%+ written by AI as it felt soulless to write. (how humans interact with money) 1. Mechanics before philosophy. Econ 101. 2. Value. 3. Behavioural bias. 4. Opportunity cost. 5. Risk & uncertainty. (Financial health) 6. Taxes. 7. Compounding. 8. Leverage. 9. Inflation & deflation. 10. Liquidity & solvency. (The big picture) 11. Markets as story engines. 12. Systems vs components. 13. Philosophy. I feel it's important to note this is a draft. And, like any other projects I wish to build, will only have two edits before it's completed, or destroyed. Any constructive criticism will be massively appreciated and welcomed.
