Although to a large degree I’m someone who always kind of has enjoyed working hard, I knew within a few years of working in Corporate America that it wasn’t the life for me long-term. When you’re working for someone else and constantly under the microscope, it’s oftentimes not smooth-sailing, and if you’re one of those people who prefers autonomy, there’s naturally going to be a lot of dissonance there with that type of employer/employee arrangement.
Sure, I endured the 9-5 culture for a few years — Working extra hard, never complaining (at least not at work publicly), and just [click to continue…]

I’ve had a lot on my mind lately, as I try and process everything that’s happened this year and attempt to put the past firmly behind me. As mentioned in many posts of late, I recently (finally) eradicated myself free from an absolutely horrible situation in [click to continue…]

Having spent essentially an entire year out of the country, you’d be quite right in assuming that the thought of passive income crossed my mind on a regular basis.

I’m back in the Bay Area, enjoying some good weather and sunshine. In the process of being back home, I’ve been making efforts to reconnect with friends, readers, and basically anyone who wants to talk shop about early FI, travel, and investing.

Hey everyone, school is now back in session! Yup, that’s right I decided that it was time to do something drastic, so I’m going to be hitting the books again this summer. What do I have in mind? Well, I really do miss the world of engineering oh so much, so I thought I would go “all in” and finally attempt [click to continue…]

In the beginning of 2012, I first started blogging about my own personal journey to early financial independence. In 2016, I quit my corporate engineering job for good and set sail out to Asia to live out a dream that had been inculcated in my brain as [click to continue…]

Hey everyone! Although I arrived back in the Bay Area late last Tuesday (March 14), it took me a bit longer than expected to get settled, so hence the lack of updates as of late…
Anyway, I’m happy to report to you all that I’ve gotten most things squared away and should be back to ranting and raving now! And I assure you, I’ve got a ton of [click to continue…]

Hey everyone, I am now writing to you all from Cebu! I arrived last night, and was initially planning on heading on over to the beaches today, but I woke up to some heavy rainfall this morning…
Oh well, that’s just the way things go sometimes…
When it comes to Cebu, although this is my very first trip out to the Philippines, it’s had a special place in my heart for awhile now… You see, when I first started getting serious about achieving early FI in 2012, I started hitting the books hard and doing a lot of research into investing. By mid 2012, I had [click to continue…]

For the first time in my life, I got to experience Thanksgiving outside of America… Since I’ve grown so accustomed to waiting in long lines on Black Friday, I guess you could say that subconsciously speaking, I made it my duty this past Friday to go out looking for “trouble”…
So, I decided to FINALLY head on over to Lantau Island and do the [click to continue…]
