November 2021
This is my first “About Page” update since I began writing in late 2019. And well, shit, who would have thought so much would change in only two short years? The blog originally began as a FI blog and now it’s basically evolved into an online journal/smorgasbord of anything and everything. Some like it, some hate it. The ultimate judgement will be up for you to decide.
First, let’s get to the main point why you’re here: how the fuck do I navigate this blog?
Right? You don’t really give a fuck who I am. All you care about is soaking up the magnificent wisdom and life perspective that jumps off this (self-proclaimed expert in everything) blog into your lap like your own personal Zen buddha baby.
Lucky for you I’ve kept it simple.
The best way to navigate the blog is by the category section sidebar off to the right on the main blog page. This was my best stab at organizing the content in some manner that made sense – at least to me. If your socks are knocked off by my amazing content, then you can jump down the rabbit hole and read the first post here.
If for some reason you want to contact me (not sure why you would, but I won’t deny the attention – my alter ego only seems to keep growing in status and prestige), the best way is to comment on a blog post or hit me up on Twitter. My website email blows, and I rarely check it because I get so much blogger spam. If those relentless fuckers could come up with a course on how to block themselves and their own SEO spamming, I just might sign up. Just being honest. I should probably change/improve my contact form, but I’m too lazy/busy. So, if you filled it out or emailed me, let me know in a post and I’ll check it. Hahaha. Pretty fucking inefficient, but hey, it’s my world here.
What you might want to know about the Q-FI household:
- We are a married couple, both turned forty this year and located in Southern California.
- Have two dogs.
- First time home buyers in March 2021.
- Recently transitioned to a single income household as of May 2021.
- Just began our fostering journey.
- Miss Q-FI is transitioning to a stay-at-home parent role – we’ll just have to wait and see how this experiment plays out.
- I am your typical corporate curmudgeon who can’t wait to leave the disaster of capitalistic employment behind.
- My background is in M&A (mergers and acquisitions) finance – that sounds way fancier than it really is, and all it means is I understand numbers a little bit. Nothing else. I am not one of those techie geeks who drools over creating a million spreadsheets. Fuck Excel. The less I must use it or anything on a computer, the better.
- I’m a recovering addict/alcoholic and enjoy using the power of the written word to experiment with cathartic release.
- I write about anything and everything that interests me. No limits here nor niche marketing designed to fool you. What you see is what you get.
- How do I like to spend my time? Outside. Doing anything really. Not a big fan of wasting my finite breaths being housed in by four walls and a roof.
Let’s also get this clear before you begin, you should take nothing on this blog as financial advice, or any other form of advice for that matter. The only thing that you’ll find here are musings of a nature widely inconsistent, mildly hypocritical, vainly egotistical, sprinkled with unparalleled intelligence, vastly semi-omniscient and virtue signaling magnanimous.
Are you not entertained? Hahaha.
If that doesn’t paint a perfectly clear picture of what to expect, then I don’t know what the fuck to tell you.
Keep reading at your own peril, and who knows, you just might find the meaning of life scribbled on these pages.

P.S. I’ve always thought a quieter life can let you live more free.
