An Important Announcement About The Future of Making of a Millionaire
A long overdue change
Effectively immediately, Making of a Millionaire will no longer publish stories on Medium.
Two quick points of clarification:
- I will still be publishing articles on Medium — but through my personal profile and other publications
- Making of a Millionaire is not dead; in fact, it is thriving — Just not on this platform. Making of a Millionaire is now a Subsack publication.
Click here to learn about all the different benefits I can provide my readers on Substack — If you enjoyed MOAM on Medium, you will love MOAM on Substack as the platform gives me much more control over what I can provide my readers.
I love Medium, and I'll always maintain a presence here as I would not have any writing career to speak of without it.
But running a publication here no longer makes sense for me. I have been reading, editing, and publishing over a dozen stories submitted to MOAM every day for 5+ years and have never been paid a single penny for any of that work.
My personal and professional life — and the duties that come with them — have expanded exponentially over the past five years. I'm at a stage in my life where I refuse to work for free.
The rational thing would have been to make this move 18 months ago… but I delayed the decision for as long as I could because, as I said, I love this platform and wanted very badly to turn MOAM into a major publication here. There was a period from 2019 to late 2021 where I thought that would happen, but it didn't work out.
Thank you to all the writers who have submitted stories to Making of a Millionaire over the past five years. There are so many writers who contributed to this publication over the years, but I want to highlight people like Rocco Pendola Charlie Brown Opher Ganel who have contributed to this publication for it’s duration and other writers who have been major contributors recently like Eve Arnold, Denis Gorbunov Aldric Chen to name a very few. I’m proud of the work that we published here.
And thanks to the readers who have supported this publication — I will never stop being amazed that there is a group of people who enjoy my very nerdy, research-driven take on personal finance.
But I don't want this to sound like a eulogy; it's not!
MOAM is very much alive; it's just moved over to Substack.
I am still going to publish articles on Medium, just under a different banner.
So, if you enjoy my writing here, you don’t have to do anything; I’ll publish articles on Medium.
If you want to directly support my writing and gain access to all my work — including books, courses, and the MOAM Savings club — you can do so right here.
