When my net worth is zero, it is important to me that every cents count. I need a plan, a free plan. I had a sheet made from excel and use that as my planner. Now, I treat this loosely like my monthly event planner with cost in mind. Here’s how it looks like so…
And I didn’t travel to the moon and back or sell my soul. A financial guru tweet “50% workforce here in Malaysia earns less than RM1750 ($450).” and all the people jump in and retweet. I am not that sure about how the statistic came by, a statistic is more of an art than a…
This story is not about this website. Lyn & Ringgit do not have such a high following, and I have nothing to sell. For some celestial reason, earning from blogging is not my forte.

Mid-year always feels like I have not done enough for the year. There are times that I have even forgotten what I wish to accomplish on the first day of the year. I guess there must be X-muted people out there that never fails to do what they want but I don’t uphold my goals…
Lyn & Ringgit is turning 2! For the past two years, I am challenged to be accountable for my lifestyle inflation (Like to pay or not-to-pay for web-hosting).
