What this page is

I read the boring stuff so you don't have to.

This is where I document teaching myself personal finance the way I'd debug a program. I break down a concept, check the numbers, and post what I find. No "get rich" promises, just an engineer working through investing, money habits, and financial independence step by step. A new breakdown goes up every few days.
