Let me first introduce myself. My name is Lawrence Murry. At the time of this writing, I’m 37 years old. I’m married to my beautiful wife, Latoya, and together we have two kids,, L.J. (12) and London (7).

In 2018, I started a blog called FreshMurry. The blog’s purpose was to help me track my personal finances, help me to save more, and to track my earnings.

At the time, I started a new job that paid generously.

That job allowed me to look at my finances in a totally new lens. While my expenses were lower than most, I was finally able to pay down some  of my most annoying debt and save super aggressively.

In 2021, I let FreshMurry blog go, like really go. My domain name expired on me and I wasn’t able to recover a lot of the content that I created.

I was bummed out because I poured a lot of blood and sweat into that blog.

However, after looking at some metrics on Google, I think it boiled down to search. When people organically searched the word “Fresh or FreshMurry” it didn’t quite scream personal finance but rather a Food Blog.

I was not trying to rank as a food blogger and knew that “FreshMurry” was not a long-term sustainable blog name within the personal finance category.

So here I am, once again giving this blogging thing yet another shot. However, this time I have a much better domain name and blog title.

I still have some of my previous blog posts and I will be recreating that content in some form here on Six Figure Income Salary.

While I personally, was able to finally reach a six-figure income salary in 2021, it was a hard fought and a hard won task.

I will go into details on that later but reaching a six-figure income salary in today’s economy is not the same as it was only a few short years ago (pre-pandemic).

Anyway, I think everyone should strive to better themselves and at least gain high-income skills. The world around us seems like it’s turning into a generative AI-first society and that in itself is scary.

Every day, you hear about layoffs and folks are unable to sustain long-term employment.

It’s sickening but the truth of the matter is that we have to create assets and opportunities for ourselves that way we’re not left scraping to pick up the pieces from bouts of unemployment.

Many of these large companies are strictly revenue-driven businesses. Companies are not humans with feelings and empathy.

The employees that work for these companies are just as good as a company’s EBITA (Earning Before Interest Taxes and Amortization).

Either its been a good year and therefore you can stay or it was a bad year and they’ll have to cut you.

Low-utilization + low profit + low cash flow = layoffs and the cycle repeats either before the end of the quarter or just before the end of a full tax year.

Thank you for reading and allowing me the opportunity to provide you with some nuggets that I picked up over the years. We are all in this together.
