Reading Time: 3 Minutes “Hahahahaha…” Turns around. Oh hello! Glad to see you here, welcome welcome. Gestures to a warm, comfortable seat. Please, sit down. That’s better right – can I get you anything? Drink? Water? No? Fair enough. Forgive me, because you caught me in the middle of reading through some of my older posts. Like this one here, “4 Things I Learnt Investing in Cryptocurrency” (read here). Ah the innocence of youth… What’s that? I only wrote it less than a year ago? But it feels wayyyyy longer than that! After reading this, I think it’s time to revisit and see what’s been happening in the crazy world…

Side Hustle Idea – Working on Election Day
Reading Time: 4 Minutes “Hi there, can I have your surname please?” I looked up at the next impatient voter looming over my desk. “Thanks, and have you voted before in this current election?” ~~~ Yes indeedy ladies and gentlemen, whilst the vast majority of our state was exercising their democratic right yesterday, yours truly was huffing and puffing behind the scenes. Thought I’d share with you all about this other “side hustle” which I’ve been doing for a while now (following on from being a soccer referee). Mind you this is probably the 3rd or 4th election which I’m involved in, and each time it’s been pretty much the…

Superannuation 101
Reading Time: 4 Minutes What’s up everyone! Hope we are all having a good week. Much better for yours truly, thanks for asking. BOO-YAH, I knew it’d be a better week when on Monday, a whole bunch of us got together for an impromptu but QUALITY dinner. Like $65 all-you-can-eat top of the range Japanese BBQ quality. DAY-AM. Let’s see, my friend Light Beam was there (the future Australian Treasurer), Bubu (the most handsome of our group) and Bugzy (another EN-TRE-PRE-NEUR, guy’s got 3 online businesses on the go, jayzuz). So of course, as expected the conversation was free-flowing and top notch (just like the meat yum, yum). Actually, I…

Being Rich Eliminates 67% of Life’s Problems
Reading Time: 4 Minutes Owwww I am STUFFED. BURP. Excuse me for a bit boys and girls. Belches again off-camera. Whew, much better. Just had a HUMONGOUS feed. Man, I knew it was wrong to grab those Fillet-O-Fish burgers for a post-dinner snack… never again. Shakes head. Brbrbrbrbrrrrr. But c’mon, who DOESN’T like fast food, SO. DAMN. DELICIOUS. Hmmm… although it does remind me of what I was reading earlier today, what was it again? Hm. Oh yeah! It was on Tom Corley’s Rich Habits. Who’s Tom Corley? Yeah exactly. But reading through his website, apparently the guy spent 12 years conducting a study by interviewing and researching millionaires, multi-millionaires,…

What I’m Viewing
Reading Time: 2 Minutes Hi everyone! Welcome back to another post of your favourite personal finance blogger. Yes! It’s that time again… time for another episode offfff, “What I’m Viewing”. A short selection of articles, videos and links I’ve found useful in the last couple weeks or so. Without further ado, here they are: This Is What It Takes to Be in the 1% Around the World Ever wondered what it takes to be a one-percenter? Well, Bloomberg breaks this down to put some perspective. If you’re in India, a (relatively achievable) USD 81,000 p.a. will get you there. Compare this to a whopping USD 891,000 if you live in…
