What’s up ladies and gentlemen! Hang on a moment, “drinks large gulp of water”. That’s better, sorry guys – it’s been crazy these last couple of weeks with work, wedding planning, moving house and all the usual bedlam and chaos that occurs in December. You know how that feels! Luckily I’m not doing it alone and MrsTheFrugalSamurai-to-be has been behind me every step of the way. That’s right, tell the audience how much I’ve supported you. Yes dear, can you remove the knife from my back now? No, not yet – here let me give it an extra twist. I’m joking of course, behind every man is a woman doing all the work.…

4 Things I Gained From Losing $40,000
It’s December boys and girls! Don’t you just love it! Summer’s finally here in Old Sydney Town and everywhere you look people have that look of hope and joy and love in their eye. It’s true what they say about the weather and how it affects people’s moods – have a look at this, unless you club baby seals in your downtime – it’s hard not to feel some warmth. MrsFrugalSamurai-to-be and I spent our weekend diligently planning our upcoming wedding next year.

But the more I think about Juggsy’s predicament the more I can see parallel’s between what he’s going through with lurve to what…

Here’s What I Did After Losing $40,000
Hay Guys! How you all going! Summer has well and truly come to Sydney and I spent most of it outdoors with friends, how about you?! Hope you had a cracker of a weekend as well! After the crazy week at work I’ve had, I needed this! Don’t you just love social interactions with good friends, good food and good times? What life should be all about.

What I Did After Losing $40,000
Back again folks! Hope you guys are doing well! Been a TOUGH week so far for yours truly, so earlier tonight I decided to do something different to reset my head-space and cheer on my friends as they played a quality game of futsal (indoor soccer). The effort from the guys was very inspiring and the social connection did me a world of good. Who won you say? “Football was the real winner” quipped one spectator. Following on from this I’m going to continue the series on me losing $40,000 – which by the way has racked up a decent amount of views so far (please share and comment and…
