Hi RIP readers, welcome to the RIP (Bi)Weekly Learning Journal. Holy crap, if I let the material accumulate for two weeks the sheer amount becomes unhandleable! I don’t want to leave anything out, so I’m going to make two lists: the best stuff, each one accessible from the table of

Hi dear RIP readers,
Today’s post has been sitting in my “Blog Post Ideas” list for a year now. I wanted to deep dive into my 2020 Net Worth Spreadsheet (and more) to help you following me in my journey, and (more importantly) to give you some hints in how to track your own financials.

Hi readers, this is the ninth (actually 9c) chapter of “my story“. Please take a look at the other chapters for some context. This chapter is again about Hooli. In previous two chapters I’ve explored my timeline and few of the issues I had, mostly about stress and burnout. I

Hi RIP readers, Yes, another WLJ episode. The main risk of having a weekly side series like this one is that if I don’t publish enough “main content” the blog will be bloated with side content. I have a “main” post almost ready but, you know… it’s summer, amazing weather,

Hi readers, this is the ninth (actually 9b) chapter of “my story“. Please take a look at the other chapters for some context. In previous chapter I’ve documented my timeline at Hooli, the tech giant I’ve been working for 7.5 years between November 2012 and March 2020. I’ve documented my

Hi readers, this is the ninth (actually 9a) chapter of “my story“. Please take a look at the other chapters for some context. I started this blog back in June 2016. Inspired by LivingAFI’s The Job Experience. The first posts I wrote were those about my personal, financial, and professional

Hi RIP readers, Here’s a quick 2020 Q2 (April, May, June) Financial Update. I plan to keep it “short”. April has been covered in a previous confused post, so this is essentially a May-June 2020 update. I think you should know by now, but let me repeat: I keep my
