I'm doing good, thanks.
Got myself a little (expensive) present. :)
Looking back at the old entries, haha, I do grow old as time goes by. Some I find them embarrassing now so I've archived them since long time ago. lol.

I'd just like to say different working cultures really amaze me.
How the organization works, distribution and flow of work.
People should really travel and they will learn new things each day.
Interact. Speak.

August Update on my FIRE journey

-

This is my current distribution. I'm hoping to gear more to my ETFs this month. I've been listening to many podcast (Aussie firebug, medical money, dev raga) and reading a lot about LIC vs ETFs.  I think for now, I'll stick to ETFs as my strategy.  I still haven't got enough side hustle to bump up more $.  And congrats to my partner who got onto paeds training and we don't have to move interstate woohoo!!

I only wish I knew it earlier...Al...

October Update and my mistake in investment

I have bought more ETFs in September - ASIA and VDHG, also topping up my existing ones. I made a mistake while buying VDHG.

It's my fault for not checking the price on selfwealth before clicking the order button. I ended up buying 60 cent more than market price on selfwealth platform - which means I lost money the second I placed order.  πŸ’€ πŸ”¨
