Simple Budget, Simple Life

I never thought I would face this issue. After accumulating $300k cash, and feeling that I've kept too much dirty fiat with me, I've been investing aggressively. Aggressive may not mean smart. In fact, I am feeling stupid because my investments have been doing badly 🙃 As a quick summary, this is what I've been doing over the past year: Buying more REITS, just to name a few - Keppel dc, Ascendas, Capland China Buying more US stocks, just to name a few - Tesla, Roblox, Sea Converting SGD to USD for crypto Just on crypto alone, in midst of the recent drop, I've pumped in $15k SGD to buy BTC and ETH 🙃embodying BTFD in my blood very literally, within a week.  Am I worried? Of course! Each time I open my Tiger Broker + crypto apps, I see a blood of red. My limit orders on Gemini just keep setting off hahah. I've been doing what people call DCA, but man, the amount of transactions I made is quite crazy. I've also just started Anchor Protocol for it's lucrative ...

Crypto Back in Feb, I shared about my foray into the crypto world here . The only platform I'm using is Gemini (you can refer to my  guide  and  referral link ) In just a short 3 months, the volatility of the market has been insane. I started off with only hundreds. As the prices went up, I bought more thinking it will rise higher. My portfolio then reached thousands. And then it dropped. I shan't act brave, but my eyes widened each time I opened my app. 1 month back, I was at 20% paper gains, but today, I am at negative.  Despite that, I see this as a good time to DCA. That said, ironically when the crypto market tanked a few days back, I couldn't enter gemini due to system error. My husband faced the same for binance as well. I currently hold only BTC and ETH. My husband has been more adventurous to hold a lot more alt coins and his portfolio is a 5 digit figure. I am actually glad that he is taking steps to invest as he isn't keen on managing his money. Not t...

I shared about my foray into crypto earlier  using Gemini . In my post, under Point A2, I mentioned that I've tied my POSB savings account to Gemini. Unfortunately, due to my carelessness, I had accidentally transferred money from my DBS account to Gemini. Given that my DBS account was not verified/registered with Gemini, my $ was stuck. No wonder it felt weird that I did not see the top-up in my Gemini account despite a few hours wait. This post is for the fellow kukus who made the same mistake as me - pls raise a ticket/help through the app. How it was resolved Feeling anxious, I dropped an email via the app support informing of the error.  I received an email from Gemini 6 working days later (yes, it's a long wait) informing me of the following: All SGD transfers are handled by Xfers, our SGD transfer partner. It appears that the bank account you’ve used for the SGD FAST payment transfer was not linked to Gemini. To facilitate the fund transfer from Xfers to Gemini,  ...

I'm late to the game. And yes, I've FOMO. The platform I am using is Gemini. I was searching for an easy to use, yet secure platform that can allow SGD transaction, instead of converting to USD.  Gemini was touted as the most secure platform that has never been hacked (hope I don't jinx it). It was founded by the Winklevoss twins (go google 😊) Also,  Gemini supports SGD where we can purchase crypto using SGD through FAST transfers. It helps that people I trust were using this platform too Anyhoo, here's my quick guide on how to set up (download the app or register via web browser. Both works). 1.
