Hi, and welcome! I'm the voice behind The Good Life Journey—a blog about financial independence, lifestyle design, and making work optional.

I’m nearly 40 and currently work as a consultant, but I’ve worn many hats: trained engineer, academic researcher, and now part-time entrepreneur. In 2023, I started this blog to track my journey toward financial freedom—but it quickly became something more meaningful.

Here, I write about saving, investing, early retirement (FIRE), and rethinking how we spend our time and money. Alongside personal finance, I explore intentional living and practical philosophy—especially timeless ideas that help us live with more clarity, tranquility, and purpose.

My goal isn’t just to retire early, but to build a life that aligns with my values—where freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment are part of the journey, not just the destination.

This blog is for anyone who wants to live more deliberately—not someday, but starting now.
