Diligence, Discipline, and Prudency Pays Off. My first 1g 999 Gold Bean Achieved

🪙 yes! First milestone!

^{My most achieved "dot" after saving for 1 year}

Sometimes, to achieve a target, one must not differ sight from the destination. What has helped me to get my first down payment done for my own crib once again, even with so much distracted obligations, still pays off if what is set to motion never stops in its journey.

It has been really hard, especially with a ton of bills to pay, to prudently save up for the rainy days. And the only way to stop me from spending "rainy day funds" is to turn what saved up into something that cannot be easily sold, even though it doesn't easily generate dividend regularly.

With Gold strikingly increasing (though recently fell) over the year, the ability to place an order to the appreciating precious metal is getting harder as the currency weakens with so much drama going on. And from 12 months prior saving up to exchange another "dot" of 999 was quite a challenge.

^{Parking further has its benefits. You sometimes get to notice some unusual scenery that just can't help by to quickly take a picture as remembrance}

Purposefully parking a little further from the office, not only to exercise a little more, but to save parking fees, reducing greatly the chances of eating unless with family or purposefully rush for "happy hour" half-priced closing deals from mix vegetable dishes, taking opportunity to wait on discounts paid off greatly.

Not to mention occasional blessings from my Heavenly Father's love through the hands around me to have me not deprived from the privilege of enjoying a little in life. Just today, I was blessed with a double shot latte that can last me well through tonight as I embark deep dive spiritual improvement work that is greatly needed.

(That itself is also another miracle to share, probably later when the time is right, if I survive haha)

I remembered one of my friends jokingly quote me this,
For the Scripture says, "You shall not muzzle an ox when it treads out the grain," and, "The labourer deserves his wages." 1 Tim 5:18

^{Middle of the night editings. Just that i have been lack of time to turn it into YouTube shorts}

Maybe partly that was referenced is because the amount of work that I have been pushing through (sometimes in the middle of the night) to help the choir have significantly enabled them to be a little more independent and more prepared, mercy just love to come and smack me with love once a while.

Nevertheless, I know that if my Almighty needs me to do something, though with plenty of obstacles ahead usually, there's always a way out as long as I pay attention to His promptings.
Just like this little 999 bean, it just so happened to come in with additional vouchers, enabling me to be able to exchange with a great discount and redeemed resale, it has nothing to do with luck (I know myself very well) but to be at the right timing spotting it is just divine appointment!

With that, I am just grateful and fully aware that whatever challenges ahead, I am still guided, even if it means still a long way to go.

^{Yes. Triple checking its weight. 1g indeed.}

So, first gram is collected, though it could take FOREVER to get an ounce, it is the first hurdle that counts. I have learned so much along the way and with many wise advices from trusted friends; hopefully this type of diversify "rainy day savings" will be a good bargain in the future to pay off my mortgage faster.
