Ten years ago, I published my first post in this blog titled Set up your own server. It was related to my work as a software developer. Around that time I also began my journey in self development and personal finance, and started publishing posts as well about those topics. I named my blog Technology and Financial Independence (TechAndFI) as I am working in tech.
Origins
That would have been a good origin story of this blog, but that would not be completely accurate. The main reason why I started writing is because of ads. I was thinking of a way to earn money on the internet, and Google Ads were one of the more popular choices back then. So I bought a domain, set up a simple blog (with a single post), and sent my application to Google.
