Happy year of the Tiger! 2022 is an even-numbered year so it’s gonna be extra good 🙂 I’m writing this during my second week of winter break, and it is glorious! The first week my daily step counts were in the hundreds, centred within a 20m radius around my bed, hahaha! The second week I’m…

Finance Review: December 2021
Hello from 2022! Near the end of every year the last class will inevitably be filled with “see you next year, miss!” jokes and I love it every time, hahaha! Spendings Report: $2,112 What a nice palindrome number, 2112. What I’m most surprised by is that even with it being tuition month I only spent…
Finance Review: November 2021
Welcome, new readers! This month saw a spike in visitors to this site, yay! For new folks, keep your expectations low because 99% of my posts are just monthly finance reports. When my master’s is done, I’d like to film some video content because that’s what I like to watch so stay around on the…

Net Worth Update In the $180ks woohoo! My goal for the…
Finance Review: July 2021

I returned from one of those, Zhangjiajie, and thus I’m now in a 14 day at-home quarantine. Not the original plan I had for my summer break…
Finance Review: June 2021
Reached my goal for this year* 2 months ahead of schedule! I still want to take a year off soon, unsure when but maybe when my master’s is done? It’ll be a really nice treat after subjecting myself to hours of extra math every night. Spendings Report: $901 After a few months of >$1000 spendings,…
