Fun

I didn't specifically go anywhere for fun, but my weekdays were spent going to workshops and conferences, keeping myself up to date in my technical field. 

Exercise

On the fitness side, I definitely walked more than in my previous desk-bound job. 

Expenses

I busted some of my expenses this month. Hardly surprising I guess, since you got to spend to have fun...

Eating Out Target: $650

Eating Out Actual: $547.12

Household Target: $600

Household Actual: $437.10

I only managed to find time to do a few food deliveries this month. All in, I only managed to earn $15.20 this month.

Onwards to the fourth month of FIRE!!

Wrapping up my Second Month of FIRE: No Time to be Bored

Have you heard of people getting bored after they retired, with nothing to do?  

Perhaps I had scheduled too much stuff. In fact, I feel I don't have enough time to finish the things I want to do!

Here are some of the stuff I ate, and places I went to:

Eating

This is famous, right?

Not too bad...

Chin Mee Chin - iconic.

Heng Long Teochew Porridge - this is good!

Fun

Springleaf Nature Park - always wanted to go.

I also did a day of volunteer work for Racial Harmony Day at my kid's primary school. Hopefully, I can do one day of volunteer work a month.

Exercise

On the fitness side, I definitely walked more than in my previous desk-bound job. 

Expenses

Eating Out Target: $650

Eating Out Actual: $547.12

Household Target: $600

Household Actual: $791.80 (Signed up for a parenting course - I think its a necessary expense)

Travel Target: $100

Travel Actual: $61.80

Entertainment Target: $50

Entertainment Actual: $23

Personal Target: $100

Personal Actual: $200.47 (Bought new shoes and vitamins to keep me healthy...)

Separately, I started doing food delivery again. I achieve a few objectives by doing food delivery:

• Exercise
• Earn kopi money
• Collect steps on my national steps tracker, which I can eventually use to redeem Sheng Shiong vouchers
• Collect steps on my AIA Vitality app, which I can eventually use to redeem Cold Storage vouchers
• I tend to get some groceries along the way back 

On to my third month of FIRE!
