Why I’m Contributing More Towards Mortgage Instead of Investments
Happy Diwali to my readers who celebrate it. I am typing this from the comfort of my parents’ house. It’s been great to meet family and cousins after a long time. The last time I shared an update, I was unemployed and in the process of interviewing. The good news is, I got the job and it’s been 4 months […]
read moreI Lost my Job – Still Living the Best Life
I’d be lying if I say, I never thought that being unemployed is something that would happen with me. Having worked in startups my entire life one of the fear or rather, knowledge, has been that you could lose your job any time. And that’s what happened with me. Given the current situation — markets are historically low, US is […]
read moreFI Update – May 2022
It’s been a wild year so far. The markets, be it US or India, have clearly tanked. I thought I’ll update here since the last time I made an update was in June 2021. Almost after a year. Last year around this time, I was still in between some construction work at my new (now old?) apartment. I spoke about […]

Why am I Angel Investing?
Building wealth is a game of luck. Last year I started evaluating startups to invest however I didn’t end up making any investments.

Happy new year to everyone reading the blog and everyone’s who’s not reading. As some of you might have read in my previous blog post this is going to be the year of spending.

read moreIs this the boring middle?
This entire year has been lots of firsts. Bought a fugging apartment, Switched jobs, Switched Cities, and then decided to switch states. With the new lifestyle changes, specially considering the amount I was able to save during the lockdown when I moved back in with the parents, I save pennies now. That’s fine though. It was never meant to last […]
read moreNew Life Update
In my last two articles, I did mention that I was expecting some new changes in my life. You can guess from the lack of updates on this blog. Thankfully the process has been completed. I feel relieved that it’s done. Since I’m blogging anonymously, I don’t want to share these changes as anyone would figure out my identity. However, […]

Earlier this year I bought an apartment as an investment. Honestly, I still can’t believe it. If you’d asked me few years ago I would have called you crazy and how! However, perspective changes and once you get the taste of real estate it’s difficult to stop lol. My earlier plan was to rent out the apartment by April this […]
