My 2018 Priorities

I think my biggest priorities in 2018 is managing my finances.... As I discovered, I have been blessed with good and stable job, but lack of consideration to save money and be serious about my finances...

It is not I am in big debts, but, if I am serious about managing my finances,  will feel a lot better and be a lot happier and able to do things I want, without keep checking on my bank account on whether I able to pay off my credit card bill in full this month. I read a lot about finances, only until recently I found out how important it is to be ready for the rainy days. As usually for my rainy days, I always have back up, but now, in 2018, I have to get serious.

So my plan in 2018 are to use what I have now without the need to add more items because currently in my mind, there are like million of things I want to buy and have. Second, budetting and stick to it, three, list out my debts and how I can pay off that, fourth, to have more saving and diversify my investments.

Why do I think like this? Because I am going to 35 this year, and my body starting to ache, and I do not have spouse and children as I do not get married, but I am lucky as I still living with my parents, with great and stable job, with no big family issues, but I realize, I cannot be comfortable, I must enhance myself and always seek out new knowledge and experiences, or I will feel dull and boring. I guess what I want to say, in 2018, I want to be better, to be more confident, to be more successful than my previous years ...

In 2018 too, I want to start save a lot of  money, have diversify investments, so I can go travel, and see the world .." ...

Settle for minimal

This week, two of my friends, decided to start diet and out of sudden, I want to follow. So, starting this week, my nad my friends haven't touch rice. Well, I have eat rice twice, but my friend, zero. Ohh, dietting is so hard, but weirdly, I felt more energetic. I guess I'm going to stick with it so that I can achieve my dream boy. Jnegjengjeng. I cannot believe I talked about this because usually, I think it impossible to cut down on eating because I think I don't eat much. But still, I'm consider as fat. What I discover during this period is that I can still live goodly eventhough with lack of the things that I used to have. I'm kind a person who wants everything is there, is enough and I will be panic if my stuff is not enough and turn out its bad habit. I always ended up throw things at the end. Now, I wanted to live on a basic things. I think that will be good because I could save more and hopefully tae off same fat off my body. ;)

Impression of people is not always correct

Don't we always heard that the first impression is not always correct? But it also true that second, third and even after we know that a person for a long time, the impression we had in our mind about that particular person will not usually correct. Who am I to sayd about this? My mind telling me that. But it's freedom of expression. Is it something really annoying when you sees someone and that someone has bad expression of you? Well, but you cannot directly jump to that kind of conclusion. There must a reasons fro everything like maybe that person is ill during the time you saw him / her and that's why you got that kind of expression. My mom always taught me to think good of anything that you sees. Its much better and make your heart feel very easy instead of feeling hurt. And if you find something keep bother you and that make you feel hurt, try to ignore and let it go. Don't bother. why you should bother if that person doesn't bother?

Frugality

In my quest to find how to be rich, to be financially independent, to be able to settel my loans fast, I discover, no magic formula, except that I found this harsh word that is FRUGALITY.  I have to live frugally in order to achieve my financial goals. That's goes my dreams to do so many things if I want to achieve my financial goals. It makes me felt very sad and burden. As much as I wan to do and have so many things, I have to delay it until I really stable. Thinking back, the loans that I have now already burdensome to me, I cannot adding more debts.  Then, the other important matter is discipline. It takes a lot of discipline to achieved my goals. But my questions is, should I sacrifice to the extent of making me feels miserable, as long as I follow this rule? Like example, I have a problem with housemate, so I decided to stay alone, and I know I save money more if I share, but it will make me miserable as my previous experiences has taught me very bitter experiences. ...
