5 lessons I am learning about money

-

Since last year when I began reading Rich dad, Poor dad in a book club, I have become awakened to aspects of my life I can do more to thrive in. I have always wanted to do more with my life. And by writing on this blog and running a career-motivation platform, I thought I was doing pretty well.

But lessons from Rich dad, Poor dad and a recent book I am reading titled '5 wealth secrets' have taught me more. Here are 5 lessons I have learned. And they are all related to money.

1. Give

I give to God through my tithes (10% of my income) and freewill offering; which is a donation I make to a church or Christian establishment. 

This year, I learnt that apart from giving to God in the way of my Christian service, when I give to charity, I am also engaging in a Christian service.

To be kind to a poor person is the same as to give money to the Lord. He will give it back to you.

2. Save

I used to save for the sake of just saving so that my money will not go to waste. But also because I knew I would need money when I don't have it.

Through both books, I have learned that I must save for a purpose. Be it a car, a holiday or business.


3. Spend

Some bills do not need my permission to withdraw out of my money our but for the remainder of my income, I get to decide how I spend. I have always been a careful spender but for most as times have been tough lately we can tend to lose our grip on our finances.

I gained some very helpful advice about me and spending. To find out, I invite you to ...

Tune in next month to a podcast I will be hosting with financial advisor Insure with Caleb. Date will be announced soon.

He'll talk more on the 5 things to know about money.


Till next time,

Happy Living!

My To-Be List for age 30 and beyond

My birthday is coming up soon. And for me I often see birthdays as an opportunity to reflect, review and set some new goals. Basically birthdays are like my version of New Year's resolutions.  Very soon (next year) I will be turning the big 30, And I still have a lot of things I want to accomplish, to tighten up and to break down ... especially insecurities. As you read my list, you'll notice that these are mostly mental habits or personal behaviours as opposed to physical habits. I was going to make a list of 30 things but I realised that would take too much time to read and would even take too much time to write in the first place. Here are a list of 10 things I would like to apply in my life on a daily basis (or as frequently as possible) by age 30 and beyond. 1. Read . I am a very slow reader. I mean 🐌 kind of slow. This makes me not enjoy reading so much. In fact, I think I can only usually manage reading for 20 minutes, afterwards I lose interest and switch on YouTube. S

Being Extraordinary

As promised, here it goes...my eureka moment finally comes into manifestation.  In my last post, I was trying to explain the roots of the name for the blog 'Intraordinary', which is basically made up of the words 'introvert/introversion' and 'extraordinary'. It was purposely coined as the name for this blog to represent the amazing ways of an introvert. If you are an introvert, you would understand what I refer to (hopefully). From my conversations in the past few days, I have come to understand that there might be certain aspects of introversion that 'stand-out' the most.  It's the shyness or quietness part that was attributed to introversion. I really don't want to start going into detail about the subject as I have noticed I am already ...     straying ....                   off ...                            course ... I will try to put together something soon, but for now back to "Being Extraordinary". For this moment, I put asi
