when do I get my adult certificate?
I’m solidly in the middle of the Boring Middle. Just trucking on and doing the same as usual 🙂 Spendings Report: $1016.77 Yup, a full 63% of my spendings this month was for Mandarin lessons. I’m on HSK4 and I’d like to pass HSK5 within a couple of years. Basically the level of Chinese a…
I know, the last few posts have only been mundane end-of-month finance reviews but there really hasn’t been a lot, it’s covid season 🤷🏻 But! Watch out for this month’s posts! There’s a family trip, my birthday, another finance review (lol), and some resources based on feedback from all one (1) of my regular readers.…
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. My crippling tapioca addiction is the only thing standing between me and millionaire status…
Guys. It’s been wild 🧻 This is my monthly finance review so I’ll keep it to the numbers. I keep on meaning to write other posts but my free time has been spent sleeping or worrying about being a failure in life/struggling with imposter syndrome. I realize I’ve been very lucky to avoid any major…
In February’s finance review I posted that I spent under $200 for that entire month. The major contributor is the COVID-19 quarantine all of China is experiencing. The very blasé summary: I stayed because I don’t like hot beachy places, or spending money, or becoming nocturnal, and I found out other people were staying. Life…
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…
