The ‘Fuck You’ Money Project
For 17 years, I lived the demanding corporate life, trading my best hours for a paycheck. I got good at the job, but it was slowly draining the life out of my passion for writing. Sound familiar? That feeling of being brilliant but completely stuck?
This page is the manual for The Project I secretly started for myself and my family in 2025: building a precise, resilient, and unshakeable corpus titled the ‘Fuck You’ Fund, which aims to give me the power to walk away on my own terms.
This isn't just about math; it's about emotional sovereignty.
Here, I document and slowly peel back the layers of my entire decade-long journey, which ends in 2035 and becomes public then.
You’ll find the raw, unfiltered truth: The exact formulas I used to transform my tech salary into ₹ 8 crore of pure freedom. The mindset shifts required to quit your Zomato habit and outsmart inflation. The behavioral finance lessons that saved my portfolio during market chaos.
If you’ve ever stared at your desk and dreamed of a life dictated by your passion, not your pay slip, you are in the right place. This could be your blueprint for taking back your time.
Welcome to the ultimate pivot.
