I am turning 30 this year, and I work as an engineer for my profession. I am also getting married to my lovely fiancee this month. In my off-hours, I enjoy reading more about investing/trading. I started my journey in investing/trading not too long ago (about 2 years ago?), with the biggest catalyst to dive into it being witnessing a sudden market crash and then realising, "Hey, these guys are overreacting! Maybe there is something to be had here." I experienced some downs and ups since then. My aim? Financial independence; Retire Early (FIRE) by 45.
