About Straight Up Wealth
No BS. Just everything we should've been taught about money. I am a physician (M.D.) and entrepreneur. I grew up in an immigrant family focused on scarcity and saving. I had to educate myself on everything money and got quite upset that it had never been taught to me over my many years of “education”. This platform is an attempt to remedy that.

Stock Splits Explained: Does a Split Make You Richer?
A company announces a stock split, the headlines get excited, and the stock moves. But does a split actually make you any richer? In this episode of Straight Up Wealth, we break down exactly what a stock split is, what happens to your shares, your dividends and earnings per share, and why companies like Nvidia split their stock in the first place.

Timeshares Explained: Are They Ever Worth It?
A timeshare gets sold as owning your vacation, but what you are really doing is prepaying for years of trips while signing up for fees that rise every year. In this episode, we break down how timeshares work, the difference between fixed week, floating week and points based programs, and what you actually own under deeded and right to use structures. Then we get into the real numbers: average purchase prices, maintenance fees, special assessments, and how one of the biggest developers charges buyers double digit interest while selling those loans to investors at a fraction of the rate. This video is for anyone who has been invited to a timeshare presentation, is thinking about buying one, or just wants to understand why resale values collapse. We also cover who might still reasonably buy a timeshare and the high pressure sales tactics to watch for, so you can walk into any pitch knowing exactly what is going on. 0:00 What a Timeshare Actually Is 1:23 Fixed Week, Floating Week and Points 3:08 What You Actually Own 3:51 The Pitch vs Reality 4:40 The Real Cost and the Financing Trap 6:23 Resale Value and Who Still Buys 8:03 Sales Tactics and the Bottom Line Follow Along: 💌 Website/Newsletter: https://www.straightupwealth.net 🤝 Community-https://www.skool.com/straight-up-wealth-4058/about?ref=7c3714c1690a44219d4d48754ae89df4 📸 Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/straightupwealth 🐦 Twitter - https://twitter.com/straight_wealth 🎵 Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@straightupwealth 🎙YouTube: https://youtu.be/KQDNNlIsoJM 👔 LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/straight-up-wealth-044b0a26a/ Personal 💌 Website: https://www.thezeja.com (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbklOYjFrTWdfVUxOLUh6YkZobHdQUUk3bFlwZ3xBQ3Jtc0tucjRKa21xOTNTUXhxTk54OTlRV1ZVSW5wMnhZaUVLTnlSa3IxcWsyamlhVWNlZDhlUEJuSG56MFM2anVXdjZ5NzJXYktXYjlNWVVsMXJzREl4ekpsRFJyMFVZalBxcEU0UFNwZG01M3FNckh0dTdCUQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thezeja.com%2F&v=hChVaouTgM8) 📸 Instagram - / thezeja (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbE5RcnpkSmxma1BBRzduUzJzMzlENjQzVUZwZ3xBQ3Jtc0ttcW9VYlFlR2RSSnZOSWdReTBfSVlLZl81TXFVRm52b0UxdXMzdFMwV3RsR1dQSFpFd2dkNXlqMmNFZ2RaMUJFbXpGQmxkUUpTcEc4SUZqejJ5T3Z3MGxvRHZkNnJrWXlNMlR1d3BNZ1FsTk5tYnAxNA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fthezeja&v=hChVaouTgM8) (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbE5RcnpkSmxma1BBRzduUzJzMzlENjQzVUZwZ3xBQ3Jtc0ttcW9VYlFlR2RSSnZOSWdReTBfSVlLZl81TXFVRm52b0UxdXMzdFMwV3RsR1dQSFpFd2dkNXlqMmNFZ2RaMUJFbXpGQmxkUUpTcEc4SUZqejJ5T3Z3MGxvRHZkNnJrWXlNMlR1d3BNZ1FsTk5tYnAxNA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Fthezeja&v=hChVaouTgM8)🐦 Twitter - / thezeja (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWJjREJiN05PN1RKQzhnNW01WEVIcXNUWlFud3xBQ3Jtc0ttTVN6MktYam1wa1VkdXNRVVJTNnFKT1BQY1FXcXU2Vzg4dXZRZURiQ0ktakZhM2U5d1AtRGtsOWI4WHBhWUNBZVJTWTVRSGdoVGlQd01OcUlkdGROcmdMSFY1eFZaODBwSXpHNzhSWnlXUEFYSzdYbw&q=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fthezeja&v=hChVaouTgM8) 🎵 Tiktok - / thezeja (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbS1DMWZEeUV3NWpzWFltNGZqekRLazdXYnhaZ3xBQ3Jtc0trRW0tU3pDLWRHd0U0eGpQVTV2NFo4LTRLVjZOUmZPemdMbmRvWXNqQ3N5UWJaRm9VeWdpZjRrbnBUdzdITFh4TFNuOGN0ckVvb1l6dzhHQUxIUjR0NkRVZ1VuSW9DRzNWeDktRUl6Wk51OVJ6QURyYw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiktok.com%2F%40thezeja&v=hChVaouTgM8) 🎙Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3xJGTFWMNcMxzQsN4Be0Aj (https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa1dYdVY1VXNzTTBBLTV6WklfeFEyMGROcjlSUXxBQ3Jtc0tuLTI3QW9qSFVKRGJiMDNUZWZZMTFQdVhDN2lyTTQ2cDZKWWpXaWRnZmNJS2ZnWmxER0FUTXNoeEFoVm16d2wwTzd5V2V2WERvLWZJajZLRzFEVGxNSFlobDJaRHpTbWl4Vy1SLUpLeFN3YWlOMkV4MA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fanchor.fm%2Ftsp3&v=hChVaouTgM8) 📽️ YouTube-https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfIedEQ6vWfjkcvYLeTXSaw 👔LinkedIn- https://www.linkedin.com/in/ze-ja-672028285/ About Us I am a physician (M.D.) turned entrepreneur and educator.
