To sum up 2022:
- I paid tons of cash on fertility therapies and launched into the probably the most painful (bodily, mentally and for my pockets) – IVF. The worst? Seeing no consequence regardless of the cash and efforts poured.
- Shares, crypto crashed which suggests a beating on my internet price. Revenue obtained could not cowl the losses.
- One of the best factor that occurred was a brand new job, with a greater compensation. I hope the 2023 recession will not have an effect on my rice bowl.
Web Value
And with that, one thing everyone seems to be right here for…my networth at $646k, a $40k drop in comparison with 2021. This made it appeared that I earn nothing from my employment, pursuits from financial institution, reits and many others, and cpf.
If my inventory and crypto remained on the degree of 2021, I would have $750k in 2022. Nonetheless not so much in comparison with my ordinary development.
If solely I continued my conservative approach of purely saving cash, and never investing in shares or crypto.
If solely.
Hopes and Aim for 2023
In finish 2021, I spoke about how I’ve come to phrases about not having a baby. It is a fixed battle as a result of I get upset each single month. I made a decision that whereas I’m nonetheless in my early 30s, I ought to take a chance and proceeded with IVF. It was an abrupt determination – what I wanted was money and time. Wrt cash, I needed to put aside >$30k, which is not a small sum however I am grateful I’ve the means. Wrt time, I needed to sacrifice work; I needed to chew the bullet and face the results of incurring wrath from unsympathetic bosses.
I used to be ready to surrender my money and time.
But it surely broke me (actually) after I failed.
Perhaps I did not construct my physique effectively sufficient, for my determination to do IVF was sudden. I believed I had an opportunity to witness a optimistic consequence, earlier than the top of 2o22. But it surely wasn’t meant to be.
In finish 2021, I additionally spoke about how work is only a means. It nonetheless is. However this time, I really feel extra motivated to be seen as a robust employee, in order that my job is protected against any retrenchments. This implies, I must work good and never quiet give up. I hope my motivation do not lose steam mid-way subsequent yr.
I nonetheless aspire to retire at 40 although.
This is setting 2023 objectives and reusing 2022 ones that I failed to satisfy:
- Goal to attain $850k internet price in 2023, the precise objective as 2022
- Convey my mother and father out for an abroad journey
- To do effectively in my new job
And lastly, a imaginative and prescient board for 2023. Are you able to guess what it is about?
With that, I am closing 2022 and praying for higher luck in 2023.
