when do I get my adult certificate?
Being back in quarantine is great for the wallet, less great for the mental health. My net worth is officially in the 6 digits now, but at what cost…😠Unfortunately, another side-effect of being locked on campus is that my life is incredibly routin/mundane/boring so I’m hard pressed to come up with interesting things to…
Is it too late to refund 2020. I’m quite worn out so this will probably be the shortest one yet. Spendings Report: $824 Almost half of this month’s spendings was a session with a financial planner. It was very worthwhile and I will write a more thorough post about it when the world isn’t quite…
I’ve been quarantined on campus for 3 months but damn if my spreadsheet doesn’t look fantastic. Does anybody know what is happening with the markets? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Spendings Report: $372 Was 1/3 of my spendings this month bubble tea and KFC? Yeah.

I’m under quarantine in China, but so is my money 🙃 Don’t worry or freak out that I’m still in China, it’s honestly very chill and business as usual. Except I now teach from the room next door and can wear slippers to class. I actively avoid the news and just chat with my fellow…
Happy new year again! Who could have predicted 2019-nCoV coming a month ago? If you can, please contact me and consider becoming my investment advisor. Being Canadian-Chinese, the December-early-February period is the double whammy of holiday periods. Gifts, another trip, and last-minute changes make for a pricey combo. However, despite all of life’s surprises I…
