Savings Update – August 2019
This is my least favorite blog post to write about — even though I love tracking my savings and expenses. True to my promise, I’ve cut down on savings update. This month is special.

Savings Update – March 2019
I’ve decided to cut down on the frequency of Savings update from here, possibly every quarter instead of every month. I wouldn’t call it a tough decision. It’s quite boring to write about how much I am saving and my expenses. However, I don’t want to stop writing about it for two reasons — one […]

Savings Update – June 2018
Since I started my quest to educate friends on how they can save and invest, a surprising byproduct has been my aggressive and rigorous tracking of expenses and savings. While I worked at my previous firm we would keep on saying that track and measure impact. It had been ingrained that I can measure impact […]
