Does this sound familiar?
“I will start flossing my teeth twice a day starting from today!”
You are all excited and gung ho. You are determined to make it work – this time.
Fast forward 5 days later and you are all like “Wellllll, I’m kinda tired and I’ll just go to bed now. I’ve not flossed at all today but I’d be doing so in a couple of hours anyway.”
Fast forward another 5 days and you’ve completely stopped flossing.
Sound familiar? What is exactly going on here? (more…)

Have you ever had to study, take exams or complete homework whilst on vacation?
I had to do all three recently when I went on a solo adventure recently which I blogged about here (Part 1, Part 2).
I happily booked all my hotels and bought all my train tickets etc before I checked my course schedule. Out of 7 weeks of lessons+exams, 3 of those co-incided with my vacation. GROAN.
As if it couldn’t get any worse – my final exams co-incided with the last leg of my trip in London. Meaning that I’d have to spend a good two days researching and writing 4 essays and an online MCQ exam. To ace the MCQ you have to know most of the content at your fingertips, which meant I had to spend time doing extra revisions on my trip. (No, I didn’t do that in the end)
Whilst I’d have preferred not having to study AT ALL when I was vacationing, turns out, it wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be. You just need to figure some things out and make tiny adjustments along the way.
So if you have an upcoming trip where you’d be lugging around textbooks and homework, I’ve got some tips for you.

Do you know what does it take to be rich? Do you have a habit of saving money or do you spend everything you earn?
Financial planning, setting financial goals, finding the right insurance plans, investing…Do you know how to go about all that?
Actually, why didn’t the schools teach us all these?
Anyway. If you’ve read up on millionaires and their lifestyles, you will notice that many of them – barring being born with a Golden spoon in their mouths! – actually have cultivated great financial habits since they were younger.
Many of them started taking an interest in financial planning or searching up investment in their 20s or even earlier.
But most of us in our 20s are usually saddled up with student loan debt, aren’t in high-income jobs (yet!) and have no idea what to do with whatever money we’ve saved.
Lots of 20 somethings are also all like “I’ve just started tasting financial freedom, so, YOLO, I’ll spend my money on whatever I want”.
Which is great, I’m all about spending money on experiences. But the 20s is also a great time to lay the groundwork for good financial habits.
Stumped and not sure how to begin? Here are 5 tips to get you started. (more…)
