Monthly Financial Updates

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.

Well, Chinese New Year has come and gone, and it’s a new month again. Things are moving faster for me as my own projects have started to fast-forward into Stage 2. But… I still estimate it will take around 4–5 more years to complete—if it works out.

Dividend income has begun for this month after the cold month of January, amounting to $1,760.73, which is somewhat lower compared to last February. Rental income remains stable, as it is set for another one-year renewal.

 

The war chest has reached 25%. The lack of salaried income has slowed down its buildup. The wait is still ongoing.
