Welcome to Live With Freedom

Why this blog exists

I've looked for advice that matches how I think about money and life. Most of what I found is either obsessed with beating the market or recycling generic wisdom without questioning whether it actually applies to you.

Neither works for someone who wants freedom over optimal returns. Someone who'd rather spend mental energy on building a company than tracking a portfolio. Someone who asks a lot of questions before accepting any advice. (I'm that guy—the one who won't stop asking "why" until things actually make sense.)

So I'm writing what I wish existed. Thinking from first principles about money and lifestyle, designed for the Indian context, optimised for peace of mind.

Who this is for

This blog might resonate with you if you value your time and attention more than marginal gains. If you want a system that runs quietly in the background while you focus on what actually matters.

Maybe your ambition is to build a ₹100 crore net worth, or create a lifestyle business that lets you travel the world. Or maybe you just want to be debt-free and never stress about money again. Either way, you're welcome here.

For context: I'm 30 with a net worth of around ₹1.25 crores and zero debt. My goal is ₹100 crores by 45. This blog will document that journey—the thinking, the decisions, the mistakes, and everything I learn along the way.

A bit about me

I spent over five years as a founding member at a fintech startup that's raised over $100 million and is on its way to becoming a unicorn. I was earning more than ₹50 lakhs a year doing what I do best—programming, building products, solving hard problems.

I recently left that job. Not because I had to, but because I could. I'm taking some time off, and then I'm starting my own thing.
