    Half-Yearly Report Card, Goals Update and Verdicts – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly…

    July 4, 2018

    Reading Time: 5 minutes What’s Up Frugal Samuraites!!! We’re back again for another sitting of the Frugal Samurai. Hope everyone’s enjoying the wonderful warmth of Winter – don’t worry it’ll be over soon! Speaking of wonderful, how bloody insane has this year’s World Cup been eh? It’s the most alive and drama filled tournament we have had in DECADES. The quality, passion and emotions of the games has certainly lived up to expectations. So much so that the halfway mark of the year passed with barely a whimper. Wait… say that again? Seriously, HALFWAY already? That’s right – we’ve officially passed the halfway point for 2018, where did the time…

    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…

    Final Learnings From Planning a Wedding (Almost Time)

    April 27, 2018

    Yes indeedy, ladies and gentlemen – it’s almost time. Time for what?  For the wedding of the century of course. Oh you mean Harry and Meghan? (Thoughtful pause) No… no I don’t mean Harry and Meghan… “rubs chin” but yes, yes you’re right – that would be quite a wedding. No, I meant the wedding between yours truly and MrsFrugalSamurai-to-be. It’s now mere days away. Wait, do I know you? Probably not, not many people do – I’m like the wind you see, billowing in the summer breeze, roaring in the winter gales, whispering through the Autumn leaves, caressing the… ahem, apologies, I got sidetracked. Riiiight… Just bear with me…

    April 18, 2018

    Hay guys and gals! How y’all doin! The year keeps on rumbling on doesn’t it, we are almost a third of the way through, how are you going with your goals and plans for this year? If you’re like me – who hasn’t ticked anything off yet, don’t fret! Still plenty of time to get started, but get started you must. Following on from the post last time (here) about buying real estate off-the-plan (new build whether apartment or house), I received quite a number of messages regarding people’s stories of their successes and failures of purchasing off-the-plan. Suffice to say, although some people have done quite well with this…

    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…
