Finally we are reaching the end of 2017. It have been a great year for 笨mummy which she had experienced being a SAHM for 8 months (May to Dec) and through this, she had also gain valuable lifeskills such as:
(1) basic cooking - able to cook 4 different varieties of soup, have 2-3 steam dishes that she could whip up in less than 10 minutes).
(2) budgeting skill - working with little budget and needing to feed the family, 笨mummy learnt to find ways to maximise the budget and get more out of her grocery shopping.
(3) housekeeping skill - sweeping, mopping and cleaning as well as laundry are everyday tasks for a SAHM. And 笨mummy can proudly say that she is doing better each day on these tasks. Tuesdays and Fridays are mopping day, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays are laundry days for dirty clothes and used towels while Thursday are days to replace used hand towels, kitchen clothes with clean ones and washing of those used towels and clothes.
A first family trip was planned and executed this year. Although it was a rather tiring trip traveling with two children, aging one year old and three year old, it was overall an enjoyable trip for the little ones, especially for Child 1. He still remembered the characters he met in Disneyland Hongkong as well as the stay in the hotel.
With 2018 in sight in a few more days, 笨mummy had set her resolution for 2018 to be a wealth accumulation year as she is going back to the workforce on 2 Jan 2018. Hopefully she could still keep her spending at the same level during her SAHM period while having extra income from her work. Jiayou.
Here is the final installment of dividend for 2017:

Hi 笨mummy, just curious, do you watch your portfolio book value too ?
ReplyDeleteI do look at the portfolio current market value, purchased value as well as the dividend yield. I wanted to achieve a certain yield target I set for the amount invested.
