Insane 11.11 deals and around $750 savings

Hello! I'm back! My blog has been collecting dust with my previous update 2 months back.

Glad to provide good updates that I've finally received the keys to my home :). Reno has also started and we hope to be able to move in by end this year!

I guess it's a blessing in disguise that my key collection was delayed till now. This is an excellent time to purchase household items at attractive prices on 11.11 (and upcoming Black Friday!)

It's practically sales everywhere now, as it builds up to Xmas. Makes me happy while typing these. Who can resist bargains right?

Prior to 11.11, I started carting stuff and comparing prices. Hence, as the clock struck 12am at 11.11, I was frantically paying.

In fact, in just 1 day, I spent close to $5.5k on 3 platforms.

Taobao, Lazada and Qoo.

And hey, I contributed to this record

Items bought includes:
  • dining table
  • electrical laundry system
  • Xiaomi TV
  • ceiling fans
  • lights
  • fridge
  • washing machine
  • sofa
  • toilet accessories
  • mirror cabinet
  • bedside tables
  • sink
All these for close to $5.5k. I like to think I've score a great deal compared to buying offline. I also tallied the estimated savings from using coupons and it came up to around $750 savings! This has not included rebates from shopback and credit cards.

I also took up the 11.11 telco offer from Circles.Life with a $7/month mobile plan ヽ(•‿•)γƒŽ Price will revert to $28 after 12 months.

SGD$1,000,000 networth unlocked πŸŽ‰

Image
As of 8 Dec 2024, I have officially unlocked the milestone of $1m networth πŸŽ‰ This is all thanks to the increased in value of my crypto holdings as well as my US stocks. My HK/CN stocks are still in bad shape. On stocks front, truthfully, my overall investments is still in the red. I had made mistakes in stock picking and has not taken the opportunity to cut losses. I had the view to hold and pray those stocks in deep red would go up - after all, I told myself I don't need the money right now. On crypto, given that BTC has bounced back, I'm sitting on decent profits. I've been cashing out bit by bit. The last I spoke in Mar , I cashed out a rather sizeable amount of BTC at 50% profit. On hindsight, if I had waited till now, I could have cash out 3000 SGD more. Anyway, this time round in Nov, I cashed out 2 times, at a 70%-80% profit. Not bad considering the rest of my investments. As long as there are no major global events impacting the markets negatively, I believe I woul...

🀞On track to hitting $950k networth by end 2024🀞

Another blink, another year ending soon. How have you guys been? I wonder who else is still monitoring my blog despite my lack of updates. Again, so much has happened, but not much have changed. I travelled well, continued with a 3rd round of IVF egg retrieval (result was extremely poor), and went through uncertainty at work due to restructuring but was thankfully able to keep my job. I still haven't fulfil my dream of being a mother. Though honestly, it now feels more like a checkbox to be unchecked than the actual fulfilment of wanting to nurture and grow a child. I think the weariness is getting too much. I will embark on my final transfer within these few months. This would be my 7th transfer. If it fails, I'm likely going to stop further treatments. I have already done the best at my "peak".  I am telling myself that my life is still amazing despite these hiccups. Anyway, onto my financial goals. Back on 31 Dec 2024, I posted my goal to achieve $950k networth by ...
