Mo Money Mo Problems 💸 IAAC #78

I Am Alive! 🌱


The dreaded virus has caused a lot of harm over the years. But those who were lucky enough to keep their jobs and get paid regularly, have seen some financial benefits in terms of saving. While that group may not be a large one, I was fortunate enough to be in it. Due to only working from home for a large period, meaning I didn't have much travel costs and also not going out at night, I've managed to save up quite a bit.

A planned vacation this month that was never planned means those extra reserves are also still available. It's nice to have a bigger nest egg than I already had, but I'm not working just because of working. My goal is to travel the world, which is kind of frustrating now considering the situation. Growing my own vegetables also has a big impact on savings.

So what now? Do I put more into crypto? Do I save it now and hold out? The problem is the longer the money stays in the bank the longer I risk getting screwed over by inflation due to governmental corruption. I'm already planning on doing more with my home, even though I quite like the minimalist style of living. I am also keeping some reserved, just in case family or friends need that support. But for now the rest of my financial planning seems to be stuck in limbo. I guess it's true what they say, mo money, mo problems.

One thing's for sure. Whenever travel is possible again, we will be the first at the flight gate, as I am also ready to take 2 months leave from work to do so. Thanks for powering through my financial ramblings. Please take notice that by no means am I trying to be insensitive towards those that less fortunate during these times.



Now for an (in)appropriate daily funny image to balance out all the drama.

Zowieso gaat een deel naar crypto.
Real estate hier vind ik een beetje chaotisch voorlopig.

En juist nu zijn er zoveel koopjes op die markt. Koop een via2000 en go hunting. Of rij daarna gewoon door willekeurige buurten. Fixer uppers lai...

Heb het over real estate management, dealen met huurders/squatters en de wetgeving daaromheen, gecombineerd met de algemene Surinaamse mentaliteit = probleem.

Bitcoin would have been a good choice.

Nice to know that you are among those who weren't financially affected during this pandemic.

Regarding the time of travelling, nobody knows when the world is going to return it's old self. A new travel ban is in play almost worldwide due to a new strain of the corona-virus, first detected in the UK.

Jup, I know the travel restrictions won't be lifted soon, so that is what's causing most of my frustration, as that is my ultimate form of enjoying life. For now I just have to be patience along with the rest of the world.
