My stories as a 53 year old Chinese...

June 2, 2020

Introduction

I learn to live a frugal life after November 2018, even though I do rent a small bedroom last 10 years in the city of Vancouver, but I still have so many leaks in my personal finance and decision making because of finance illiteracy. I like to write how tough it is to learn a dollar and its value as a 53 year old. 

To be an investor

2015
I purchased over 14 years old $5500 dollar used car in 2015 when I replaced my 16 year old Ford Explorer.

2018 November
I notice that I have a problem to shy away stock market from 2009 to 2019, and I still try to get in FANG as a 52 year old in 2018. I learned that I should start to work on personal finance research in November 2018.

2020 March 
I like to live frugal life, and stay away from expensive relatives. I like to have peaceful life, learn how to invest stock market.

I learned to say no and tried to discipline my relatives first time in my life. I got bullied and cursed. It is tough and I have to stay strong; First time in my adult life, I learn to be independent, and treat myself nice even if I am one person family.

2020 June 2
I know the road is tough for me as a single Chinese Canadian citizen.

Techniques I use

Memorize all common mistakes as an investor;
Learn tough part - emotion up and down because of market swings.

Wechat group leader

I tried to make it learning experience, so I have SJTU 84 class investment wechat group, I started to share my experience after March 27, 2020.

Blogs to review


I like to select three blogs to document my learnings, and then talk about issues I have.
