    The Most Miserable Countries in the World

    February 5, 2020

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes If you’re having a crappy, can’t-wait-for-it-to-end week like yours truly, then this post is for you. You see, some people believe that happiness comes from within. But lemme tell ya, there’s a bit of science to it as well! And surprise, surprise, there’s been an economic study done to highlight how happiness can be measured against quantitative factors. These being: Inflation, Bank lending rates, Employment levels Growth in GDP. Courtesy of our good friends at Visual Capitalist, the 2019 Misery Index ranked 95 countries based on the above 4 economic variables: 2019 Misery Index To calculate each Misery Index score, a simple formula is used: GDP…

    Is The 4% Withdrawal Rate Enough To FIRE?

    January 22, 2020

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes What’s going on peeps! Whilst on the bus earlier today, I was reading a FIRE blog which is a personal fave of mine, called Young Adult Money. I think the blog is predominantly about young adults and money. David does a fantastic job with his blog, and I thoroughly suggest you go through his other posts – they’re pretty awesome! Actually, I was reading up on their latest post on Basics of FIRE: Financial Independence Retire Early. For everyone who wants to know what FIRE is and what it’s about, this post provides a great starting point. The post also goes through the well-known concept of the…

    I’m Still Here!

    October 3, 2019

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes So I thought it best to shoot out a quick post just to let everyone know that yes, I am still alive and no, I have not forgotten about you. It’s just been TOO much this past week. I wrote last time (read here) that I had embarked on a whirlwind property scouting weekend a few days ago… And what a few days since! You see, I had shortlisted and viewed a couple of dozen or so properties in those two days, and now it’s time to get stuck into due diligence. So please excuse me as I’ve been trying to cull this one here and…

    R.I.P. Christchurch

    March 17, 2019

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes Crazy, crazy, crazy. That’s the reaction we had when we first heard of the tragic incident unfolding in Christchurch, New Zealand. You see usually, on Friday afternoon, I’d be winding down – maybe even having a drink or two with my work colleagues as we pat ourselves on the back for another week down. But I remember that this Friday I was going full TILT. Been a pretty full-on couple of weeks actually and this week was no different. And then we heard the news… Or rather, I first received the actual 16 minute video the shooter live streamed BEFORE knowing what was going on. Initially…

    7 Ways to Handle a Hard Day

    March 6, 2019

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes Oh WHAT a turd of a week it’s been guys. It’s weeks like this one when I just wanna come home after a HARD day’s work and, to quote a scholar “make sweet, tender love with my baby, and cry in her arms until we fall asleep”. Hahahaha, that scholar makes me laugh. But truth be told, it has been a trying week. Got a couple of urgent deadlines due as well as a FLOOD of maintenance requests for multiple properties, on TOP of not sleeping well AND feeling under the weather. Boohoo to TheFrugalSamurai – he’s doing it tough. But I am determined to not…
