accepted an offer for a new job
it isn't what i've been searching for for months, and isn't what i went unemployed for a year for, but it's high time i grew up and realise that my peers are moving on with their lives, doing their PHDs, getting married, buying homes.
i'll be assuming the role of a condominium manager and i hope that once tasks are done there'll be enough time in the day to work on things i like.
the job itself isn't difficult, i've got prior experience in it, it's really just a job where you solve technical and social problems on a day-to-day basis
i figured i'll slowly take up my degree in computer science. then build my own projects and work on some small startup ideas.
i've built an actual startup company with actual users before i even knew how to code (which actually was the reason the whole thing broke) but i can do it again.
the plan
at the moment i'm hoping to work on an ecommerce store to maybe bring some jfashion brands to sell clothes, or accessories. OR sell fragrances, since my friend asked me to join him in doing that. i mean anything to sell online to make a little extra a month is good.
so mon-fri i'll work my full time job, and in the day when i have free time, i'll work on the ecommerce project. on the weekends i plan to still do my part time job, if i work 8 hrs of part time a week, in a month that's about another ~$400. and i still hope to continue tutoring and that brings in another $200 a month.
hopefully this will be enough
priorities
i think it's important to just do what i really want, like tinkering with things and making cool things and those pursuits keep me looking forward to waking up
but i can't just let my life fall to the wayside and now that i've been with my s/o for 4 years i think it's time to move on with our relationship and plan for our wedding and our home together.
stressin
things are moving slowly for me financially. my gf and i are terrible at saving money... but i'm trying ok
holding a wedding costs around $30,000-$50,000. a home requires about $80,000 in CPF (mandatory govt savings account) which we both don't have, obviously.
my gf is my favourite person in the world, and i cannot imagine a life without her in it. i hope we can start building a life together.
