It’s been a while since I last shared an update here, and for good reason. Over the past year, I’ve undergone significant progress in my financial journey, and it’s a journey worth sharing. In my previous post, I mentioned my intention to pay off my home loan within the next two months. Surprisingly, I managed to achieve this goal even […]

Why I’m Contributing More Towards Mortgage Instead of Investments
Happy Diwali to my readers who celebrate it. I am typing this from the comfort of my parents’ house. It’s been great to meet family and cousins after a long time. The last time I shared an update, I was unemployed and in the process of interviewing. The good news is, I got the job and it’s been 4 months […]

In my last two articles, I did mention that I was expecting some new changes in my life. You can guess from the lack of updates on this blog. Thankfully the process has been completed. I feel relieved that it’s done. Since I’m blogging anonymously, I don’t want to share these changes as anyone would figure out my identity. However, […]

FI Update – June 2021
Phew! It’s been a long ride and took much more than expected but the construction work in my new apartment is finally done. I started the construction work back in April after much hesitation. Just one week after we started work the city went under strict lockdown. Little did we know we’d be marred with second wave. Things have been […]

Over the weekend, I read through Set For Life by Scott Trench. If you’re active on Biggerpockets you already know of Scott. He runs Biggerpockets and also has an amazing podcast on real estate. I got interested in Biggerpockets podcast back when I was purchasing my first property. Of course a lot of what they discuss doesn’t apply for us […]

Oh boy! What a last few weeks. After days of following up with the bank on the loan and then paying taxes to the government followed up by dealing with the developer, I finally have the keys to my apartment. Yay 🥳 I’ll be honest, I didn’t face as many issues with this purchase as my last purchase all because […]

I recently read an article at AffordAnything by Paula Pant and it really hit home. It spoke about having an investment strategy for real estate investments. Turns out I bought the property but I didn’t have an investment strategy or even a plan. I bought the property that I personally wouldn’t mind staying in because that’s the plan — In […]
read moreStock Market Update – Feb 21
It’s quite amazing that as soon as I decided to relax and find my way with stock marketing investing, the universe has decided to give back. In just one and half month, I’ve made more money than 8 whole months in 2020. What have I done differently? In 2020, I was making 6-7 trades per week, trying to figure out […]

As described in my last post, I’ve taken it slow and I’m enjoying trading in stocks even more. I’ve also introduced a new rule – Do not have more than three trades at a time Nomadcareers Initially, even though I tried really hard to not have more trades, I would end up trading in more than 5 stocks at a […]

The last time I spoke about my EMI was when I used to update my savings update back in 2019. I’m glad I’m past that stage now as updating on savings and expenses is entirely ennuyeux activité. However, the updates really helped me in sticking to my extremely frugal budget. I still do the updates, they are on my spreadsheet […]
