In a search of financial security...

Everywhere you see, you will encounter posts that say you should do this to increase your passive income or learn and use AI to create an income stream. That is exactly what my sister and I decided to do. This is where we will document everything we did and how much we made. The reason for us documenting everything in written form is that everything is sight-heavy in a way you watch and see. However, at least to me, it feels like when I watch something for a long time, there is a disconnection between my sight and my brain. So, to stimulate my brain using my eyes, writing things out is the way to go. When I read, I imagine the scene and feel the emotions that tantalize me. Hopefully, this is the case for you.   Back to our financial security plan... So, we do "Sister Check-Ins" every week. This is where we talk about everything, literally everything. There will be some family gathering planning or what we are watching (as in movies) and reading. Of course, anything related to...

Finally, a full day at home

     It has been non-stop since I got back from Mongolia. First, I had to move. I had three weeks before I had to return the apartment. I moved several boxes a day. Then my father came to help.

It was a stressful week right after my cousins had left for Mongolia, because I had to park the car at the coin parking since my cousin hadn’t f...

     It has been a couple of weeks since I posted.       It was hectic for a couple of weeks.       First: Work. During the summers, we offer themed programs in English (of course). This year we had two different themes: Dinosaur and Pirates. There are a lot of things that go into putting a program together. From tiny details like who is going to buy the snacks or who is going to sweep the floor, to what each teacher is going to teach and make. I am responsible for all the seasonal programs. So, I had to delegate some of the logistics tasks to other people. The first week went fine. We had wonderful kids who could understand and speak in English to a degree. Also, we were more prepared for the week. Then the second week comes. We weren't prepared as much as in the first week. There were a lot of ideas, and we did them all. Even though it felt like we weren't that prepared, we were prepared enough to have some activities that we didn...
