Surprisingly gripping


Someone on RetireJapan recommended the Living a FI blog and I got really into it and read it from start to (almost) finish.

It’s the story of one man’s financial journey from college through a variety of jobs all the way to financial independence.

The detailed write-ups of the jobs (in computer support and engineering) are fascinating (he’s a really good writer), and made me grateful of my own job and jealous of the salaries in the US.

Living a FI isn’t really a blog you can dip into, but if you fancy a long read it’s funny, interesting, and inspiring.

I have read up to Feb 2015, and it’s getting close to the end of the journey. Might be a good summer read 🙂

You can also find other good blogs or sites on our Resources page. Have I missed any?

  1. Thanks for the share! Will binge read the blog during the daily commutes to and from work.
    Also especially helpful that the blogger is in the same industry =)

  2. I think you’ll enjoy the descriptions of the various jobs, characters, and situations. I did, despite not really understanding some of the technical bits 🙂
