Hi, I’m Sujith.
Welcome to myFIREinvesting. I built this space to make investing feel a lot less complicated, intimidating and noisy.
If you are here, you probably feel the same way I did when I first started: you know you need to build wealth for your future, but the world of finance feels unnecessarily complicated, intimidating, and full of noise. I created this space to change that.
Starting from $2,000
I didn’t start with a trust fund, and I certainly didn’t have a safety net. When I began my journey, I had exactly $2,000 in my bank account and zero financial backing from my parents. I was on my own, and I had to learn everything from scratch.
In those early days, frugality wasn’t a lifestyle choice; it was survival. I had to pinch every penny just to make ends meet while I taught myself the basics of money management. I made mistakes, I learned hard lessons, and I slowly built my foundation brick by brick.
Where I am today
Fast forward to today, and life looks very different. I am proudly self-sufficient, a milestone I achieved with the incredible support and partnership of my beautiful wife.
I want to be honest with you: I am not the “eat only rice and beans” guy anymore. While I could technically save more if I went back to that extreme frugality, I’ve learned that the journey to FIRE shouldn’t make you miserable. Today, I prioritise small luxuries and enjoying life in the present over squeezing every possible cent into a savings account.
I believe in a balanced approach: building a secure future while still enjoying the coffee, the travel, and the moments that make life worth living today.
Why this site exists
Over the last 20 years in the tech industry, I’ve built a career navigating complex systems and solving difficult problems. But while my 9-to-5 paid the bills, my true passion was mastering the markets. I have been consistently investing for the past 15 years.
Over that time, I noticed a recurring theme. Friends, family, and colleagues would constantly reach out to me for advice. They were smart, successful people, yet there was a massive gap in their basic financial knowledge.
I built myFIREinvesting to share the roadmap I wish I had when I was starting out. I am here to help you avoid the mistakes I made and to show you that you don’t need to be a Wall Street expert to build a life of freedom.
Let’s learn, grow, and build wealth together.
