Hello Fellow Parent! If you are reading this, it is likely because you have found me online. In case we have not yet met, my name is Cibi Thomas. I am a proud dad , a co-founder of a six-figure software company, and a personal finance aficionado!

There were times when life was tough, and the future looked bleak, but I refused to give up. I dug deep and summoned every ounce of resilience and determination within me to keep going.
