    How The COVID-19 Pandemic Has Defined Our Generation

    July 29, 2020

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes Today’s post is a bit on the sombre side, courtesy of demographer Mark McCrindle regarding how the Coronavirus has affected different generations. According to his recent report, the age at which we’re exposed to a transformative event determines how embedded it will be in our psyche. And it’s unsurprising that 84% of adults surveyed agree that the COVID-19 pandemic will play a significant role in shaping the younger generations of today. Top 5 emotions in response to COVID-19 Similarly, COVID-19 has extended into all areas of our life – from the way we travel, to work, to shopping habits, socializing (or lackthereof) and how we approach…

    Coronavirus Public Service Announcement

    March 15, 2020

    Reading Time: 2 Minutes I think everyone knows by now that we have a pandemic on our hands in the form of the Coronavirus. So as a responsible member of the community, I am doing my bit to make sure the message gets out there and is heard. This afternoon, the Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison announced mandatory 14-day self-quarantine measures for ALL travellers coming into Australia, in the latest government initiative to contain the virus. Unfortunately my opinion is that it is too late for containment. This is because the R0 (“R-naught” is a reproductive measure of infectivity) of the virus sits around 2.2 – meaning that one infected…

    Coronavirus and its Effect on Human Psychology

    February 9, 2020

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes Well it’s bucketing rain at the moment in Old Sydney Town boys and girls. What better way to spend our time indoors than to catch up with your favourite personal finance and development blogger! OK, so I wanted to follow-up on my earlier post regarding the hot topic in Australia right now. Which of course, is the Coronavirus. I wanted to revisit this topic because I’m seeing some news headlines about an unprecedented surge in hand-sanitizer right now. Headlines such as: Coronavirus panic causes hand sanitiser to be marked up, sells out at supermarkets And: Coles sells out of hand sanitiser as coronavirus rush hits All…

    What’s Ayers Rock Got To Do With Getting a Mortgage?

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes “Idō shite kudasai” I looked back… a smirking Japanese boy of 8 looks up at me. Hesitantly, I snake around the chain link fence and let him move past. This is it, I say to myself… if a kid can do it, I can bloody well do it. ~~~ OK so you might be thinking, what is he on about? Well, MrsFrugalSamurai and I spent the last few days in the Australian Outback… or more specifically, in the dead centre of our great country, where we visited the famous Uluru, or Ayers Rock. It was quite an incredible experience and I can totally see why many…

    Reading Time: 3 Minutes Hooray! Finally have a moment to settle back in from the epic month we just had! Excuse moi for going AWOL during that period, first going overseas and then being KO-ed with this suspicious flu-like illness. After the short post last week (here) to let everyone know we are still alive, here’s a longer version of what transpired on our trip. Beijing People ask me why I am always heading back to Beijing? Is it the crisp, clean air? The generosity and agreeableness of the locals? Well, er…not quite. It’s because Beijing is my home town and a lot of my close relatives are there. In…
