Current Status.

In my first year investing, I was seeing returns of 50–70%. I thought that would be the key to financial freedom—until I stopped looking at percentages and looked at the actual amount I was making, and at the effort, anxiety and risk behind it.

From the moment I graduated, I tracked every inflow and outflow. Every transaction was logged and reviewed weekly. I realised that cutting Uber and Talabat orders, and being smarter around shopping, could create a very similar monthly gain to my risky investments—not once a year, but every month.

I come from finance and have read the books. They keep converging on the same idea: you cannot control much of the environment around you. You can control your own inputs, and sooner or later—usually later—the rest starts to fall into place.

The road to financial freedom is not one risky investment. It is good financial habits, compounding and compounding again. I tried every tool I could find: Excel was too complicated and time-consuming; good budgeting apps did not give me the full picture. That is what we are building here.
