Welcome

We are pleased to welcome you to our platform, where our blog is dedicated to exploring the principles, mindsets, and actions necessary for achieving Financial Independence. Our aim is to empower individuals to lead an authentic FI lifestyle without early retirement.

As a regular person in my early forties, I am married with two children and work in the digital sector. My journey toward Financial Independence began later than most, starting at the age of thirty-three. With a typical background and no extraordinary circumstances, I have made significant progress and am now on track to reach my financial goals in the coming years.

We invite you to join us on this journey as we pave the way for your own Financial Independence. The content you will find on this blog is crafted by two contributors, myself (Arurhose) and Ibukun, who is featured in the Across the Atlantic section. We eagerly anticipate your participation and insights in the comments section.
