About me



"Life's true gift lies in your freedom to design it beautifully. With each rise of the sun, you get to chase the opportunity to fill your days with meaning - to live your life the way you choose." 



Attaining financial independence  is a  dream of many. One aspiring to “stop working for money” and retire early should aim to save 50 percent or more of their income, invest it wisely so that the passive income thus generated should help them to attain financial independence  sooner rather than later. They should’nt be  interested in gaining more wealth in order to have more to spend; it’s quite the opposite. They should  intent on living their best lives for less. Life is beautiful when made simple. And it starts by rethinking their relationship with money.

I am Teny Thomas, 46 retired @36. Luckily, after completing my Computer science Engineering graduation in  mid nineties I was well placed in a software company of a world renowned multi national Bank. I was fortunate enough to learn the  nitty gritty of stock markets, mutual funds from college days itself which came handy.
My friends could spot my flair in personal finance  and tax matters.  I could invest well and optimize my taxes at an early stage. Though it could not be termed spotless, I could invest in markets and I sailed thought the dot com burst of 2000 and stock market crash that followed.

After working for 14 years in a few multi national IT companies, I could quit from Oracle as a manager in 2008. And I thought of educating others as to how I go about it to F.I.R.E. (Financial Independence to Retire Early. Many of these tips cater to people from all walks of life.
