2022 Evaluation

This is a recap of what glided by in 2022:

To sum up 2022:

  • I paid tons of cash on fertility therapies and launched into the probably the most painful (bodily, mentally and for my pockets) – IVF. The worst? Seeing no end result regardless of the cash and efforts poured.
  • Shares, crypto crashed which implies a beating on my web value. Revenue obtained could not cowl the losses.
  • One of the best factor that occurred was a brand new job, with a greater compensation. I hope the 2023 recession will not have an effect on my rice bowl.

Internet Value

And with that, one thing everyone seems to be right here for…my networth at $646k, a $40k drop in comparison with 2021. This made it appeared that I earn nothing from my employment, pursuits from financial institution, reits and many others, and cpf.

If my inventory and crypto remained on the stage of 2021, I would have $750k in 2022. Nonetheless not loads in comparison with my regular progress. 

If solely I continued my conservative method of purely saving cash, and never investing in shares or crypto.

If solely.

Hopes and Purpose for 2023

In finish 2021, I spoke about how I’ve come to phrases about not having a toddler. It is a fixed wrestle as a result of I get disillusioned each single month. I made a decision that whereas I’m nonetheless in my early 30s, I ought to take a bet and proceeded with IVF. It was an abrupt choice – what I wanted was money and time. Wrt cash, I needed to put aside >$30k, which is not a small sum however I am grateful I’ve the means. Wrt time, I needed to sacrifice work; I needed to chunk the bullet and face the results of incurring wrath from unsympathetic bosses. 

I used to be ready to surrender my money and time.

But it surely broke me (actually) after I failed. 

Perhaps I did not construct my physique properly sufficient, for my choice to do IVF was sudden.  I assumed I had an opportunity to witness a constructive end result, earlier than the top of 2o22. But it surely wasn’t meant to be.

In finish 2021, I additionally spoke about how work is only a means. It nonetheless is. However this time, I really feel extra motivated to be seen as a powerful employee, in order that my job is protected against any retrenchments. This implies, I must work sensible and never quiet stop. I hope my motivation do not lose steam mid-way subsequent yr. 

I nonetheless aspire to retire at 40 although.

This is setting 2023 targets and reusing 2022 ones that I failed to fulfill:

  • Purpose to attain $850k web value in 2023, the precise purpose as 2022
  • Convey my dad and mom out for an abroad journey
  • To do properly in my new job

And lastly, a imaginative and prescient board for 2023. Are you able to guess what it is about?  

With that, I am closing 2022 and praying for higher luck in 2023.
