Financial Planning

It is only when I'm approaching my "mid-life crisis" that I realise the importance of financial education. I do not know whether is it just me alone that I'm not taught the importance of financial management when young. When I talk about financial management, I do not mean by save save save in bank then just leave there to accumulate, what I mean is by saving, investing, insurance etc. I find it funny that Singaporeans are often complaining "Money not enough" yet we are not taught the core topics of cash management.

That is when I ponder why Financial Planning is not incorporated as one of the compulsory subjects in Secondary Schools. I'm sure a lot of us especially guys have momentary splurges, e.g. let's say around 2 years ago the "in thing" is Playstation 2, then all of us will take up holiday jobs etc to finance the purchase. Thus, for someone to have more than $5000 they save themselves in their bank is a miracle among my school mates.

There is still a tinge of regret when i think back the days when I should have invested even in fixed deposit ;P
Anyway I will make sure I will emphasize this point to my kids next time so that they are able to focus on enjoying their lives more, instead of having to crack their head s every time the ways to earn more income etc.

Passive Income: Agloco

Recently came across this Agloco website and since I have already signed up for a similar one Emailcashpro, I thought there's no harm in trying out for this one. Furthermore I feel it is good to recommend friends for any money making opportunities ;)

Here's a snippet of the background of this program:

AGLOCO’s story is simple:


Do you realize how valuable you are? Advertisers, search providers and online retailers are paying billions to reach you while you surf. How much of that money are you making? NONE!


AGLOCO thinks you deserve a piece of the action.


AGLOCO collects money from those companies on behalf of its members. (For example, Google currently pays AOL 10 cents for every Google search by an AOL user. And Google still has enough profit to pay $1.6 billion dollars for YouTube, an 18-month old site full of content that YouTube’s users did not get paid for!


AGLOCO will work to get its Members their share of this and more.


AGLOCO is building a new form of online community that they call an Economic Network. They are not only paying Members their fair share, but they’re building a community that will generate the kind of fortune that YouTube made. But instead of that wealth making only a few people rich, the entire community will get its share.


What's the catch? No catch - no spyware, no pop-ups and no spam - membership and software are free and AGLOCO is 100% member owned. Privacy is a core value and AGLOCO never sells or rents member information.

Extracted from Channelnewsasia: Australian economy grows strongly in Q1

Very bad news to me, why can't it happen after I have paid my sch fees grrr~
No wonder there is a sudden hike in the exchange rate as compared to previous semester. ;S

Should I or should I not...

*Sighz*
Ever since I got my 2A license, I have been struggling to decide whether or not to change my bike ;S

The higher cost of maintenance and installments for the bike I'm eyeing are obstructing me to go ahead with my impulse.

Furthermore, the high AUD$ exchange rate of 1.29 for paying my school fees further deters me from doing so ...

$$$...Dilemma...$$$
