There were times when my trading went so badly for me in the initial dark years that I resorted to eating cheap bread for lunch because I was so afraid I would run out of capital. I hope you can bounce back and I think you can!<br /><br />Sometimes it's a matter of perception. What we need is a road map to give us hope. I've seen some of the bloggers around here put up posts about projecting finances (e.g. if you save $X a year and get Y% return per year, in Z years' time you will have $ABC amount of capital). When you look at a 5 or 10 year projection,and then a 20 and 30 year projection, the figures might be able to give you a good roadmap (and a nice boost of hope) and something to aim for!darrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12207832191060889856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011194091106156925.post-63903789781452110672014-12-16T21:25:00.165-08:002014-12-16T21:25:00.165-08:00Hi Felix,

Hit the spot. Sometime I wonder why. There are plenty of people with 3 or more kids. Granted they may not drive. Also, if u look at staitistic, the medium income is not actually high. I believe we are above the 50% percentatile.<br /><br />Maybe, it is a curse of affluence and discontentment? While comparison is inevitable, the issue is deeper than that. <br /><br />Indeed let's work together not just the money part, but in pursuit of passion and security Sillyinvestorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03228581533460899084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011194091106156925.post-8057707815071001252014-12-15T16:09:59.528-08:002014-12-15T16:09:59.528-08:00Hi Richard,

Thanks for sharing your honest ...Hi Sillyinvestor,<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your honest thoughts with us. So many of your inputs resonant with me. <br /><br />The negativity presented shows a very raw side of you that somehow made you more 'human' I guess? I share the same concern of not having 'enough' in future too. My upcoming wedding, flat and future commitments certainly frighten me. Sometimes, I do wonder if I'll ever have enough to support my family in comfort. Likewise, the toxic thought of 'if only I am single..' also pops up from time to time.<br /><br />Alas, life goes on and we definitely have to shoulder on with hopes of a better future.<br /><br />I wishes us a more rewarding 2015. And so with that..<br /><br />'May the odds be ever in our favour'<br /><br />That's from the Hunger Game trilogy anyway. But I like how applicable it can be to us..hahah.<br /><br />Regards,<br />PP<br />PassivePeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08954910873811996081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2011194091106156925.post-86135218192152923432014-12-15T06:49:46.937-08:002014-12-15T06:49:46.937-08:00Mike,

Had hit a rough patch at work in year 2013 and 2014, passions at work has taken a dive recently. Thought of taking a sabbatical from work to sort my career path out but i do have financial milestone to meet and a house to think about in 2 years time.<br /><br />Seeing how "impermanence" and "insecurity" persists in modern day living, i am careful about my finance and hope to achieve some sort of financial freedom eventually through prudent investing.<br /><br />Lets work together in our journey. We work different paths but i believe eventual goals are similar.
