Why this blog exists

Because I’m tired of saying I’ll do something and not doing it. Buying this domain was my line in the sand. Now I’m all in.

Here’s what you’ll find here:

  • Money moves – what I’m doing with my own cash, wins and mistakes included.

  • Detox files – food, health, and lifestyle changes to cut the junk and get real results.

  • Gaming logs – my take on Fallout, Satisfactory, and more, plus some projects I’m cooking up.

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being real.
