So, my coworker made me feel bad about my money😂, and therefore I'm back!
The story goes: at work we're getting a retention bonus this month, and casually I was chatting with a coworker friend about where to put the money. We have the option of directly depositing it into our work RRSP account or receive it as income to do as we please. And I said I'll probably put it into TFSA instead of RRSP. My coworker was like 'Yeah I guess if you haven't maxed that out!' And to add insult to injury 'That's just play money amounts anyway'.
So that hurt my feelings/pride as an ex-money blogger😂. Therefore I've decided to come back to keep myself a bit more on track with financial accountability.
Since I last wrote on this blog, I've made a legit PF blog website, abandoned it in a year (and the whole PF blogsphere).
Travelled quite a bit (I'm the cliche that fell in love with traveling to Japan). Fell passionately into fandoms (hello figure skating! Have you heard of Yuzuru Hanyu? And from that, into BTS who really helped me get through the pandemic).
Just hit 500k networth this year so even though I'm not as hardcore frugal as I was in the early working years (2013-2018), I think I've still done well financially.
I have a short term goal for FHSA savings that I'll be working on since my living situation might be changing soon.
Otherwise I just miss have a space to chat about money (my friends are either the more active/risky investors or find it to be a chore😂).
