Jut Put Everything Good Into Your Pot

Simple simple simple. Simplicity is the best. I would really love to be like some of the famous chefs like Jamie Oliver, Christian J.Fischer, or maybe our very own Amy Beh. Oh well, how about starting with spaghetti? Like mine? Just throw everything good into your pot! :P

1. Brocolli & Chicken Stew Spaghetti

Prep time: 30-45 minutes

  • Olive oil, lotsa chopped garlic & onions into the pot
  • A bottle of spagghetti paste & spagghetti noodles
  • Tomatoes, capsicums, broccolis, red chilies for flavoring, parsley or coriander, chicken, seafood, etc
  • Boil till it is soft.

You can make it soupy as it can be served as a tomato soup too.

2. Cheese & Herbs Spaghetti
Prep time: 20 minutes
My recommendation to you is this. Or maybe if you are in piggy mood. You can see the ingredients on the picture. Basically, it will not make your cooking tired. You don't have to think or run around the town like a rat just to buy that special ingredient or herb. Just get everything on the supermarket shelf. Cool?

Other type of spaghetti you can try. How about Tuna and Chilies Spaghetti???

Finally, take a picture of yourself.

Saving is "Paying Yourself First"

Savings = Income - Expenses
What does the equation shows you first? Now savings is paying yourself first. Paying yourself first is the most effective way to make your dreams and goals come true. Pay yourself into savings of $5 a day? $50 a week? $ 1000 a month or $10,000 a year? According to Joshua Kennon, the first check we should write is to ourselves by depositing into our brokerage, mutual funds or retirement funds.

Where to pay yourself first?
1. Heavenly Accounts?
(e.i. charities, church, hospice centres, orphan homes, etc)
Your heavenly deposits are the best selfless investment in life which has eternal worth and eternal return to you and your life. You are not just making your life worth but LIVES!
2. Bank Account
3. Property
4. Investment Funds
5. Unit Trusts
6. Bonds
7. Employee Provident Funds
8. Insurance


Make your savings ENJOYABLE. You don't have to work hard and enjoy less in life. The utmost golden rule is to avoid the "Spending Treadmill" where your spending, credit cards and loan usages - the ends never met. Soon you may be just paying your debts every month like a treadmill that never ends.
