Good news everyone! Starting today, I will be disabling ads on this blog. So it is not like only good things come to an end, sometimes bad things also come to an end! I know some (all?) of you are annoyed with the ads. I used to have ads because I felt that if you are enjoying some free content, perhaps you might be willing to pay for my time by just seeing some ads. Time is the most precious resource of all and one should value someone’s time. Anyway, thankfully, from now on, the ads issue will be resolved. But of course the real reason for this post is that I can’t spend too much time on my blog. So this is the last regular post.


This does not mean I will stop blogging completely. It just means that I will not be posting regularly like I used to. Since I started this blog way back in 2018, I have posted at least one article per week on average. Some time in between, I even posted two articles a week! Can you believe that it has been 7 years since I started? So far I have written almost 500 posts on various topics. The original intent of the blog was to inform my friends and acquaintances about my post retirement life because some of them asked for it.


As time progressed, different people started asking for articles on various topics and I wanted to help them. So I started writing about financial planning, health, philosophy, sustainable living, minimalism, projects etc. Blogging was never my hobby nor an activity that I consider as fun. It was just work that I used to do whenever I had some free time. But as time progressed, I started to have less and less free time. And you know which task gets axed when you are running low on time? The task with the least priority :). Namely this blog :(.


I think my blog has enough articles to help anyone who is planning to retire early or even for general personal financial planning. There aren’t a lot more topics to write about. The only thing you might be missing is knowing about my post retirement life. May be I will write a post once in a while to fill in those gaps.


Actually I wanted to end posting regular articles in the blog last year in September, but there were a bunch of draft posts that I already prepared. So I thought I will publish all drafts and then announce the hibernation.


Draft posts awaiting publications as of September 2024


I hope you enjoyed this journey as much as I did. I will try to continue to post, but it will not be as frequently as I was doing thus far and certainly not with this regularity. If there are any important updates like me going back to work or something like that, I will be sure to post about it :). More importantly, I will be posting topics of my interest and length. So don’t be surprised if you see a post with just one line or a lot of cryptic tech posts. The blog will become an archive or sorts for me to look back. Many old pages like About Me and Start Here have not been receiving any love and have become stale anyway.


I have a lot of pending projects that I want to work on. So on to working on those. Many thanks to all my readers! My journey continues…
