2016

Early this year, i set a few milestones to be reached in 2016 while on my road trip travel around California in United States. I have fulfilled a few, listed as below:

1. Grow my investment
2. Get freelance work
3. A more healthy living and eating habit
4. Get passive income by renting out our condominium via Airbnb

The outcomes were not very satisfying, considering the poor Ringgit in the past 12 months. However, this is just a beginning. I didn't get rich by 2x, 5x or 10x. All the incomes were either used for own living expenses, or saved for future uses. The latter is more, since we have depreciated Ringgit.

My own salary didn't increase for almost 3 years, and with my husband under his way in building his business, basically we depend on my own salary. We learn to live more frugally, and spend on necessities. Not to forget, i still helping my parents to pay some utilities fees each month. With a toddler, the expenses mainly on her babysitting fees. Plus some additional medical insurance fees, medical examination fees, petrol, home utilities etc. Actually, not much left to spend and save.

However, God has been very kind to our family. We have the blessings that most people do not have. That makes us count our blessing every day.
