This monthly report excludes any salaried income. The purpose of this financial review is to assess the sustainability of my financial independence, focusing solely on the total amount of passive income received. As of 2024 September 1st, I have officially activated my FIRE journey, meaning I am no longer receiving a salary from a traditional job.
Two Months of FIRE. So, what’s changed for me in these past two months? I’ve committed to regular workouts and keeping up with my projects. I’m busier than ever, but at least I’m working on my own terms. Still, it’s puzzling—why do I feel even more overwhelmed?
The limits of mortality, a realization that hit me a few years ago. Our time here is finite, and I’ve spent a significant portion of my life working the 8-to-5 grind. Over the years, countless passions and interests have been set aside. As I write this, I glance at the piles of books and projects tucked away in the cupboard, waiting for my attention. It’s daunting—so much to do!
On the financial side, October has been a slow month for dividend income, totaling $817.91. Combined with other income, I’ve reached $3,181.48—just enough to cover my monthly expenses. I’m anticipating another Fixed Deposit to mature in November, though the timing has been a bit off. Just a matter of time. Ah well.....
Nothing happening much. Waiting for the right time. Zzzzz
