January 2020 Net-Worth Update: My Net-worth Increased!

The last four weeks have been some of the most exciting in my life.
With growing hysteria surrounding the coronavirus, staying in China meant facing travel restrictions. As a person who’s chasing financial independence to gain ultimate flexibility, the idea of being “locked-down” in a Chinese city doesn’t seem too appealing.
Therefore, I left China, temporarily. I have every intention of returning once there is a realistic solution to this virus.
I’m not concerned about my health. At least not when I glance at the reported statistics.
However, when I read an article on the news or social media, I walk away thinking this is the beginning of the next zombie apocalypse. I have to stop myself from panic buying water, guns, and bullets.
I could be wrong, but I think we are far from a reenactment of the Walking Dead.

August 2019 – Net Worth Update

So… Its time to update my monthly NetWorth Update. I wish I could say that I had an exciting and eventful month filled with adventures across the mountains of China, but most of my time was spent tutoring little kids online with VIPKID. Fortunately, this kept my expenses pretty low.

I also  hit a milestone, by making the most money that I’ve made with VIPKID. There was also alot of activity in the stock market that affected my assets column.
Overall it was a great month with a positive NetWorth growth.

July 2019 – Net Worth Update

  • Hello WTFier’s!  I know I’ve been MIA for the past few months. Sorry. Life has gotten in the way of me posting on this blog.

February 2019 – Net Worth Update

February was another positive month for the net worth. We celebrated our first Chinese New Year in Shenzhen. Unfortunately, the city was completely empty, because Chinese nationals all migrate to their hometowns during the holiday. Since Shenzhen is a relatively new city (Less than 40 Years old) it doesn’t have many “townies”. So rather than celebrating Valentines Day (Thank God), we spent most of our time exploring the deserted city and Continue reading “February 2019 – Net Worth Update”
