Hi! Welcome back to another month-end net worth and life update.

Every month, I track my net worth progress towards my $1,000,000 milestone, which is how much I need to retire early. Let’s find out how January 2021 went.

January was a pretty eventful month; I had two parties to plan (one of which was a graduation party for my sister), and I also had a staycation with my family. Pictures below.

On top of work and trying to figure the whole niche website/YouTube thing, I didn’t have much time left for myself.

And here’s what my net worth looks like this month.

Brokerage (SG)S$142,016S$143,139(+S$1,123)

RetirementS$61,275S$63,007(+S$1,732)
TotalS$267,432 S$271,195(+S$3,763)

After many months of exhausting my savings, I’m starting to build it back up again. I’ve got only 5 more months to go before I quit my job (most likely, but not confirmed), so I’m going to try and save what I can.

How was your January 2021?

    Hi Liz! Very inspiring story you have in your blog. Do you have any plans to expand your horizon into cryptocurrencies?

      Hi Afiqsejuk! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a comment. Glad that I can provide some kind of value 🙂 Unfortunately I don’t have an interest in cryptocurrencies at the moment, and I don’t know enough to buy them haha. Do you invest in crypto?
