Welcome to JR Road to FIRE – My Journey to Financial Independence
Hi, I’m jurian, 29 years old and passionate about building passive income.
On this blog, I share my experiences, lessons, and tips on investing, dividend growth, and achieving financial freedom.
Why I Love Passive Income

Ever since I discovered the concept of passive income, I’ve been hooked. There’s just something exciting about seeing money flow in without trading every hour of your day for it. The first time I received a small dividend, I was honestly more thrilled than if I had worked overtime for the same amount—it felt like my future self was paying me for being patient.
For me, passive income isn’t only about numbers on a screen. It’s about building freedom, having choices, and knowing that every little step brings me closer to financial independence. I love experimenting, learning, and sharing the wins (and the mistakes!) along the way. Whether it’s dividends, side hustles, or new ideas, I enjoy the process just as much as the results.
My Story – From Ordinary to Financially Independent
My Story – From Ordinary to Financially Independent
Hi, I’m jurian, 29 years old, and on a journey to build passive income and financial independence. My path hasn’t been straightforward—I’ve worked in different jobs, tried out many things, and learned that creating the life you want doesn’t require a perfect background or a huge salary.
For a long time, I thought investing was something only bankers, economists, or people with lots of money could do. I never studied finance, and my paycheck has never been anything extraordinary. But over time, I realized that wasn’t true. What really matters is consistency, curiosity, and the willingness to take small steps forward.
I still remember the moment I received my very first dividend. The amount wasn’t big—in fact, it was less than what I might spend on a coffee. But the feeling was completely different from payday at work. Instead of exchanging hours for money, I was being rewarded simply for putting my money to work. That tiny dividend meant more to me than a whole day of overtime, because it showed me the potential of passive income.
That’s when I knew I wanted to dive deeper. Since then, I’ve been exploring dividend investing, experimenting with building passive income streams, and documenting the process along the way. I share the wins, the setbacks, and everything I learn, because I believe financial independence should feel real and achievable—not reserved for experts or people with big salaries.
Through this blog and my YouTube channel, I invite you to join me on this journey. Together we can grow, learn, and celebrate each step toward freedom and independence. My story is still unfolding, but one thing is clear: passive income isn’t just about money—it’s about creating choices, flexibility, and a future you’re excited about.
