By day, I'm just another person in tech, staring at Jira tickets and pretending standups don't ruin my morning. But somewhere between spreadsheets and Slack notifications, I fell down the rabbit hole of money, markets, and wealth building — and never really climbed back out.That was about 10 years ago, and I'm still down here, happily.
Somewhere along the way, this turned into a genuine habit of reading — not just finance books, but business, productivity, life skills, anything that helps me think a little more clearly about how to build a good life (and a good bank balance).
Here's the thing that bugs me: finance content today is either a 300-page textbook nobody has time for, or a 15-second reel telling you to "buy this one stock" with zero context. I wanted something in between — articles that actually think two steps ahead, backed by real research, but written like I'm explaining it to a friend over coffee, not lecturing from a podium.
Full disclosure: I lean on AI a lot — for research, for structure, for making sure my writing doesn't sound like a tax form. Every piece here is AI-edited. But the ideas are entirely mine — for better or worse.
If you're tired of bite-sized advice that evaporates the moment you close the app, stick around. Let's actually think about money together.
