2018 Mid Year Finanical Resolution?

I guess it really weird to have a Mid Year resolution for this year as I had just decided to restart this blog. But nevertheless, Here are my Goals

1) Career Goal - Probation - I just got a full time job as a Naval Architect/ Engineer with a new company after 2.5 years studying part time in my master degree and working part time from a previous company. Currently, I working hard to learn the ropes and getting accustomed to the work culture of the company.

With this full time job, it really restarted my 2018 goal resolution as one of the goals is to find a full time job in the midst of the downturn of the Maritime Industry. With the new job, my aim is to save up 5k by the end of 2018.

2)  Health Goals - Working out twice a week. Still working on this and in progress.

3) Financial Goals - In addition to the 5k saving. I also plan to re balance my ETF Portfolio on July 2018. I also transfer my Salary to the DBS Multiplier Account to earn interest.

4) This blog - My aim for the blog is to type a blog post every 1 to 2 weeks on my take on personal finance and hopefully I can learn how to manage a website in the future if time permits.

Looking forward to share more

I back...

Hi Everyone,

It has been a long while since I write in this blog, Times flies and I had completed Master Degree in Offshore Technology in Dec 2017.

Some Updates to my Life
1) I left my previous company to complete my Master Degree in Offshore Technology in 2016
2) I managed to find a part time job that does inspection service. I took up the job as it fit into my part time degree requirement and also to live without digging into my saving.
3) Due to the Oil and Gas downturn, I do take modules that not are not oil and gas related.
4) I completed my Masters Degree at the end of 2017. I looking forward to graduate in 2018
5) After a while looking for Job, but I managed to find job in a Engineering company that similar to what I currently doing. I have to relearn and also realign myself to the interview session.

During the period of life, I lost motivation to work on the blog as I was busy juggling with work, part time studies and personal commitment. It was a busy moment in my life where I need to be focused on my lose heart during my part time journey.

One of my Goals for 2018 is to revive this blog and think on the content I can
For now my plan are:

1) Personal Finance and Decision that I done after I left my previous company
2) Experience of studying part time while working


Stay Tuned...
