    8 Financial Lessons From 2020

    January 3, 2021

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes Happy New Year everyone and WELCOME BACK! Hands up if you’re very excited for what 2021 will bring? Haha, I exited 2020 with a whimper, with a (lonely) jog in the park on NYE followed by watching “Tenet” (confusing) with MrsFrugalSamurai, and get this… going to SLEEP before midnight (exhausting), thereby missing out on the fireworks (disappointing) and also ringing in the New Year with MrsFrugalSamurai (chastising). D’oh! Getting old in my years. Anyhow, as much as I love to look ahead, it’s also important to look back on the previous year because well… 2020 had it’s moments didn’t it? So in no particular order, I…

    We Bought A House! (Final Part: The Lessons) And Bye Bye 2020!

    December 31, 2020

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes Sigh, finally it’s come to this. The end of what has been a most interesting year, to say the LEAST. Bye Bye 2020! We had huge expectations to spend tonight with friends and family – but as is often the case this year, lockdowns have reared its ugly head again which meant a more muted celebration is in order. Stay safe people! As I sit at home sipping my freshly chilled coconut water, I had wanted to write a summary post for the year, but guess that will wait till next time. Because as promised, today’s post is a wrap up of what I learnt in…

    We Bought A House! (Part 3 The Journey And Numbers)

    December 27, 2020

    Reading Time: 4 Minutes How good is the end of the year eh, can’t help but feel relaxed as we wind it all down. Hope we all had a wonderful Christmas with our loved ones. Feels like this year especially, everyone’s been doing our darndest to bring a bit of cheer to others. Good for you Sydney! We’ve been trying to get into the Christmas spirit as well, nothing like the intenseness of some houses mind you: Anyhow, you didn’t come here to read about Christmas and cheer and all that goodwill. Bah humbug! You came here to read about our house-buying journey didn’t ya? And so it continues… The…

    We Bought A House! (Part 2: More Renos), Oh And Merry Christmas!

    December 25, 2020

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes Merry Christmas everyone! Been a while since my last post. Apologies been AWOL recently as renovating the new home, moving places and wrapping up what has been a crazy year of work – meant that literally, I had zero time to even respond back to friend’s messages. Yes Steve, would love to have dinner with you and Pam on the 21st… WHEW, a huge sigh of relief because the renos are practically done. I had blogged in my latest post (read here) how MrsFrugalSamurai and I had become landowners this month. Man alive, is there a lot of work involved! But y’know, I can’t help feel…

    December 13, 2020

    Reading Time: 1 Minute Please welcome the latest entrants to The Great Australian Dream…. it’s TheFrugalSamurai and his dashing young wife, MrsFrugalSamurai! Hooray to us! Haha, as the name suggests, we are bona fide land owners now. Suffice to say, this has been months in the making – but finally, after what must have been dozens of property inspections, we’re proud to call a place home. But not so fast, because although settlement day was earlier this week, we can’t move in yet because it’s a bit chokers with renovations at the moment. Renovations like… And And And And oh so much more! See that’s the biggest culture shock for…
