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 consequence regardless of the cash and efforts poured.

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 so forth, and cpf.
If my inventory and crypto remained on the stage of 2021, I might have $750k in 2022. Nonetheless not lots in comparison with my normal development.
If solely I continued my conservative means of purely saving cash, and never investing in shares or crypto.

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 battle as a result of I get disenchanted each single month. I made a decision that whereas I’m nonetheless in my early 30s, I ought to take a raffle 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.
However it broke me (actually) after I failed.
Possibly I did not construct my physique nicely sufficient, for my choice to do IVF was sudden. I assumed I had an opportunity to witness a optimistic consequence, earlier than the tip of 2o22. However it 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 robust employee, in order that my job is protected against any retrenchments. This implies, I have to work good and never quiet stop. I hope my motivation do not lose steam mid-way subsequent 12 months.
I nonetheless aspire to retire at 40 although.
This is setting 2023 targets and reusing 2022 ones that I failed to satisfy:
- Intention to attain $850k internet price in 2023, the precise objective as 2022
- Convey my dad and mom out for an abroad journey
- To do nicely 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.
