Where My Passion for Personal Finance Come From?

travel, saving, personal finance
My sister and I were waiting for sunrise in Dalat, Vietnam 

Anyone finds money talk boring? Me too. Well, that was me before I moved out and started to live by myself.
I needed to learn how to manage money properly to ensure that I maintain a healthy lifestyle. Since then, I have grown interested in personal finance as I learn that this knowledge is the key to open up a lot of opportunities.
I love visiting places. I can spend hours on the travelling blog and daydream about my next journey to different locations around the world. Whether the trip is for trekking and hiking in Nepal or searching for hidden gems on our mother earth. Those blogs are from my fellow bloggers that are doing a fantastic job in fueling my travel desire. Or if you like to travel on budget like me, check out this budget travel site.
However, to be able to afford trips, discipline is everything. You have to learn how to control your spending and manage your budget. My number 1 tip is to keep your credit cards in check, all the time. Nowadays, it is so easy to get not only 1 but 5 or 6 cards. It is important to understand what you sign up for - this link provides an excellent source about how to keep track of your credit card - and not lose track of them.
Another thing that is very critical also is having a healthy lifestyle. You can not think about saving money or travelling if you are stuck in a weak body. Here is the great site that talks about staying healthy in the everyday busy life.
Last but not least, my friend recently introduced me to a holistic living lifestyle. This is basically a way you choose to live your life and heal yourself via natural remedies. The idea really intrigued me as I can incorporate this lifestyle into my everyday activities. I have been following this blog as the author did a good job of providing such an easy to follow tips that anyone can practice at home.
Hope you learn something new from my today blog. See you next time!

Look Around You... They are used to be money!

Does your room look like this? Ask yourself these questions: Do you feel stressed when sitting in your room/house? Do you get upset or annoyed easily when getting back to your room/house? Do you feel like nothing can be done? Do you feel like you can never find anything in your room/house? Or things just mysteriously disappear? If you answer yes to most of the above questions, your room/house needs a good clean up. According to University of Minnesota, your personal environment can have a positive or negative effect on your mood. The research has shown that rooms with bright light can improve and anxiety. So, you can guess what a messy room can do for your mental health. You can read more about the research here . Other than that, you bought all of them... with your hard-earned money (of course excluding the gift your friends bought you - wait for it, I will come back for it later!). It is no rocket science that you bought stuff thinking they would make you happy but afte...
