I'm now financially free and because of Covid -19 I started enjoying my life like travelling and spend more for family and myself. Kurangkan the kedekutness....But still with the mindset of Kakak Kedekut and not upgrade lifestyle.

    With ťrading, analytical skills alone are not enough. Discipline and the desire to grow are also important for success. "time in the market vs. timing the market" is a good mindset to adopt when business is changing. Thanks to Dorian J Townsend's ideas, daily signal plans, and commitment to learning, I have increased my daily income. Continue!

    Don't need to compare with our friend's bungalow or their house price, maybe a small house with all things we dream of or can be able to build our own dream home is what makes us feel accomplished and contented with what we had in our dream home, we chase for own dreams and not dreams of the others

    Really good podcast here! As a fresh grad, I felt like I learnt from two “seniors” who have had different life experiences and found some satisfaction or at least peace with the paths they have chosen.
    I find the interviewer to be very open and great and making his guest feel at ease, while the guest is obviously an introspective person who delivered some great perspectives. We all face challenges at work but it’s nice to know that there are helpful and well-meaning people out there who understand that life is so much more than just work (with the list of non-negotiables like quality time).

      People dont understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments dont match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.

  • @contrarian2496
    @contrarian2496 6 місяців тому +4

    Happiness of money indeed diminishes, making the first one million dollars will always be more satisfying than the next million dollars, because the first million dollars solidify your finances any more money is just an excess which may not be worth the sacrifices if you are working in a career you don't like. For example, the longer you work the more money you should make but would you want to retire late, probably not right, so that means people should stop chasing for money when they have gotten enough.

  • @gerardgoh797
    @gerardgoh797 6 місяців тому

    Relatable. Been through some key points & challenges over the last 22 years. It reaches a point when I question myself what I want. Supportive family plays a pivotal role in that decision of how I want to steer the course of my work life; that being said, one has to start somewhere in financial literacy and establishing expenditures & savings based on needs & wants. It's never too late to start but it is forever if one doesn't start at all. It's okay to seek help from associations/organizations that can guide you if needed. All in all, learn to know what is enough and pamper yourself & family once in a while to let out your happiness.
