Tough times ahead. Probably.
Is there going to be a recession in 2023!? After going through some data, what I can say (and I know very little, so take what I say with a grain of salt) is that the growth is going to slow down for sure, and inflation will probably increase. But recession? On one hand I…

Moving forward
The feeling of being stuck and unable to make lasting changes in your habits is all too real. I have gone through this and have been going through this feeling for over a year now. Of course, this is with respect to health. I’ve been trying to become healthier but its almost an impossible task,…

Walking on thin ice
I was recently talking to someone about mental health, and I realised what a huge role financial wellbeing plays in our mental health. We worry, fret and stress about money.
