Whats going on?

Thought I will share this little fun day that happened an year ago.

I am born on August 20, 1990 and last year I turned 25.
I was working a job I hate, something that I could not comprehend because I used to dream the good life since I was a little child. I even graduated from the most elite college in India, I deserve more...right?

lol

So last year, when I hit 25 I did the following -
  1. Quit my job (I was relieved 2 months later)
  2. Started my new business
  3. And gave 25 high fives to random people on the street to celebrate
I have a video :)

But here is the rest of the story.
On that day I was super optimistic. I thought I will be rich ....fast.
You can see that in my energy in the video :)
My goal by the time when I hit 26 was to be financially independent.

I will be 26 in 4 more days. I am paying my rent and eating food without a job.
I am not even close to being rich.
I failed a lot and won little.
I would not call myself financially independent because I still thrive on a string that can break anytime.


But F*ck yeah, it was still an epic journey.

I am 26 and TFF is 10. This should be the best year so far.
