Building a future from four cards.
I'm growing a card-flipping business from four starting cards, using Pokémon TCG tournament winnings to build inventory. This page documents the bigger financial goal: reducing debt, building an emergency fund, and eventually investing for the long term. These are my starting numbers, and I'll update the journey as it unfolds.

The path forward
Build from four cards
Sell cards, record real costs and revenue, and reinvest tournament winnings carefully.
Eliminate consumer debt
Track balances consistently while protecting my ability to cover essential expenses.
Build an emergency fund
Save three months of essential living expenses before expanding taxable investments.
Invest for the future
Use employment income and business profits to build diversified long-term investments, including dividend-paying funds or stocks.
First capital milestone: $500. Tournament prizes and unsold cards are not treated as realized profit.
Every card has a story. Every dollar has a job.
I'll share what sells, what doesn't, my tournament winnings, and the financial decisions I'm learning to make along the way.

Balance changes are not necessarily identical to payments made, because interest, fees, and adjustments can affect totals. The four-card business and personal debt are tracked separately.
