It's just one of those days that I feel like jotting something and rambling about anything that crosses my mind. Perhaps it's the new year thing that I feel the need to make a point to create a list of what I aspire to achieve down the road. Not sure but let's just see where this goes.
- Last year, I was able to finally sorted my financials so I'm hoping to fill up my 12 months rainy-day fund by Q1 this year at the earliest or by mid-Q2 at the latest.
- Putting aside mummy-fund for her fully paid, business class trip to perform Umrah whenever the world is ready again
- Then to start with my Hajj fund so that I can In Shaa Allah get invited to perform one by the time I hit 40.
- I will find a new job this year, the 7th-year itch and the mojo I was looking for for the last 3 years or so was never been found. So new job, new challenge it is.
- Warren Buffet-ing my life by starting to dabble with equities. Alhamdulillah, the majority of the funds gave me superb returns so far. Kachingggg, putting more into my retirement fund.
- I will start my road to 50s .........anything with 5 as the starting number to my weight. My knees thanked me for losing 10kgs but I happily gained back 3kgs so now, anything starting with 5 is going to send me to the moon. We shall head to the moon people.
- Adulting speaking, I'm finally getting my curtains professionally measured and custom made. No more slanted railings and self-made tinted windows.
- Currently, asking for quotations for the kitchen cabinets. I need a proper place to put my pots and pans (spent so much money on those Zwillings and Staubs which are well kept in their original boxes - feel like slapping myself on this)
- I like cooking and I find it therapeutic so yes, a well made up kitchen is a need (I might be singing a different tune when it's done)
- Personally, I'm not ready to travel overseas yet this year but that doesn't stop me from buying 2 souffle yarn long sleeve knitted cardigans which will be kept safely in the middle room for my future winter trips.
- Finally, I gathered enough courage to set a meeting, a few meetings actually with an Orthopaedic. Got my knees checked, x-rayed, and jabbed with hyaluronic acid. Best health-related decision ever!
- Starting one of many spiritual journeys for myself, learning Iqra from the very beginning. Slowly but surely I will get to finish the Al-Quran.
Not sure about others but I am the type who likes to have goals, nothing too detailed but rough ones should suffice. One of the big ones I have for myself is to retire comfortably before I turn 50. Settling outside the city area, one-story landed property with perhaps plenty of energy to man a chili farm or raising chickens to sell their eggs.
Wow, I surely have plenty of things to jot today. Here to 2021, good health, good wealth and great everything in between!
