The Why?
In my quest to share my love for personal finance, writing, and storytelling, I invite you to explore a collection of engaging blogs, captivating short stories, thought-provoking books, and evocative poems.
Writing has always been my first love. The art of weaving words into narratives that inspire, entertain, laugh, and provoke thought. In addition to writing, I'm passionate about financial literacy and retirement planning education.
The journey started unexpectedly at a colleague's retirement party. I watched someone who had worked diligently for 35 years, saved, invested, and lived modestly, still feel insecure about retiring. She planned to join back as a consultant because "healthcare costs and uncertainties" made full retirement feel risky.
That conversation changed everything for me.
So I decided to educate myself. I have actively pursued self learning through books, podcasts, and workshops. I pursued certifications from NISM (National Institute of Securities Markets) to deeply understand investment advisory and retirement planning.
But here's what's important: I don't sell financial products. I don't earn commissions on mutual funds or insurance policies. I don't manage anyone's money. This means my only goal is education—helping you understand your options so you can make informed decisions.
The Dual Journey
As an author, I like to write on things that move people, exploring poetry and satire.
As a financial educator, I help professionals plan for financial freedom through data, frameworks, and honest conversations.
These aren't separate identities. They're both expressions of the same belief: knowledge should be accessible, engaging, and empowering.
Whether you're here for the books or the financial insights (or both), I'm glad you're here!
About Me
Like many, I juggle a demanding tech career (18+ years!) amidst life's chaos. Yet I try my best to find time for my passion for writing and spreading financial literacy.
From finance to IT product management, I've explored diverse fields, but writing and teaching have always been my constants.
My goal for the next few years is to help as many professionals understand retirement planning through workshops, content, and educational resources.
Not because everyone needs to retire early. But because everyone deserves to choose when and how they retire, rather than having that choice made for them by circumstances.
Whether you stay here for the stories I write or the financial frameworks I share, or the beautiful intersection of both, thank you for being part of this journey.
