    7 Thoughts on How to Approach FIRE (Final Part)

    July 1, 2018

    *This is a longer post but well worth it in my humble opinion. Allow 8-10 minutes. 女士们, 先生们 你们好! Welcome back to another edition offfffff… “THE FRUGAL SAMURAI!” Cue drums, and music and elephants and dancers and other wild shit. I hope you all have been loving life the way it should be loved since we met last. What a difference a couple of days make eh – here in Australia, we’ve past an annual milestone date of 30th June – the New Year’s Eve for accountants. Yes that’s right – accountants around the nation were rejoicing and singing Auld Lang Syne under the mistletoe last night. But not you…

    7 Thoughts on How to Approach FIRE (Part 3)

    June 27, 2018

    “Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, it’s off to work we…” Oh Greetings there! How are you? Welcome, welcome to my humble abode – where we discuss all things finance and how it relates to YOU. Points finger in your direction. Please, please step inside from the cold. Opens the front door to reveal a warm and welcoming fire burning in the sitting room. I know, it’s freezing outside isn’t it? But don’t worry – we’re in the worst of it now, it will be over soon. Hmmm, that reminds me on the topic in which we are discussing today, “7 Thoughts on How to Approach FIRE”. Now mind you, I’ve already…

    Are You Part of the 85% Disengaged at Work?

    April 12, 2018

    Hi guys – what’s up! How’s your week going? Mine’s alright except I’ve been doing a lot of thinking recently. Oh no – here we go… Wait! Hear me out. No, I’d rather go play hopscotch with Peggy the one-legged giraffe. … Look this’ll be quick. Fine, but hurry up – Peggy’s waiting. OK I’ll try… You see, I read a pretty concerning report recently, on the state of the workplace, and of management practices used in many organisations. It was orchestrated by Gallup (one of the world leaders in data analytics and consulting for big corporates when it comes to brand perception, attitudes and behaviours from customers, to employees…

    “Hey TheFrugalSamurai – can you do this soon as you can, right now?” Whoa, we’re not in Kansas anymore ladies and gentlemen. If there was any indication that we are back to the grind, and away from the hedonism of South East Asia – the delivery and intonation of that message from the big boss on Monday morning brought me straight back to Earth. Mind you, when I woke up – I was tempted to take the greatest of Australian traditions and “pull the sickie” – which essentially means you call your boss on Monday morning to feign a life-threatening illness, obtain a miraculous recovery by Monday afternoon and walk…

    What Does Your Heart Say?

    January 11, 2018

    “But… why can’t we buy this?” This was the question pre-adolescent me would often ask my parents growing up in our small two-bedroom flat by the tracks. Because we can’t afford it.  The same response, over and over. This line of thinking was ingrained in me for so long that whenever a decision is required to be made – inevitably “I can’t afford it”. Should I start my own business? Nope, stick with your job instead, you can’t afford to quit. Should I invest in the stock market? Nope, people can lose their whole fortune investing, you can’t afford to invest. Should I talk to that girl? Nope, she won’t…
