Join an elderly tour group, they can cater to these demands. So, just travel! :P<br /><br />Thank you for reading!Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519573577327538496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-30141084576982535532015-12-30T23:58:20.204+08:002015-12-30T23:58:20.204+08:00Hi Shuzhen,

As you can tell, I am not a real personal finance blogger, hahaha. I am here to remind people to enjoy more while we are still young and don't have regrets. Of course, there will be some who think 20% is too much for travel but just as long as we continue to save and invest, we can still be financially free even though it's a longer (and happier) journey. Glad we are on the same page :) Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519573577327538496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-44129631216234915292015-12-30T10:49:25.777+08:002015-12-30T10:49:25.777+08:00On a side note, i think if an old person say "...On a side note, i think if an old person say "can't walk so much", it is probably not an excuse. :P arthritis leyOwlcentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08966347405943302672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-87254395962726516682015-12-30T10:45:58.874+08:002015-12-30T10:45:58.874+08:00Haha first time I see a personal finance blogger a...Haha first time I see a personal finance blogger advocate 20% of savings to travel. Usually finance bloggers be like 20% to bonds or equities etc etc... I like your post! After all, whats the point of busting our hump working and not being able to enjoy life. <br />Instead of setting aside a percentage of my savings for travel, i like to set yearly targets for myself. So eg if i managed to save, say, 30k this year as planned, i will reward myself with a trip to _____. This gives me more motivation to work towards my goal.

If you ask me to travel for work then a bit sian, cos we are always going to the same countries doing the same things and no time to venture. But travel for holidays keeps me excited, you must be excited too and spread it to your girls! <br /><br />Wah, that escalated fast hahaha... world peace sia. Yeah, learn more languages and understand how fortunate and spoilt Singaporeans are. The most important is to stay curious :)Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519573577327538496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-76772696231439053832015-11-18T00:20:43.986+08:002015-11-18T00:20:43.986+08:00Hi Jes,

That is what I am gg to encourage my girls to do also. <br /><br />I am lucky to say that I have seen quite many places on this planet already, but as age catches or maybe up to a certain point, I m no longer that excited. In fact, I more keen to talking to pple of other countries to uderstand more about their life and culture. <br /><br />I love to be a world citizen! And hope u can become a one too n promote world peace!!! lol.

From wiki: "Similar to carpe diem, it implies that one should enjoy life, even if that entails taking risks." Eat grass definitely cannot qualify... haha!Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519573577327538496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-14266581641910876112015-11-17T22:19:51.878+08:002015-11-17T22:19:51.878+08:00Jes,

I am sure you are prudent so travel away! Glad that we are of the same frequency :)Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519573577327538496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-18081463388764565352015-11-17T16:29:53.066+08:002015-11-17T16:29:53.066+08:00Hey SMOL,

YOLO people are definitely more adventurous and sporty... sexier too? I didn't know. We are also poorer, haha. <br /><br />Definitely will take longer to become a millionaire but the journey is so much more fun :PJeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519573577327538496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-15324979392100143392015-11-17T11:20:22.664+08:002015-11-17T11:20:22.664+08:00Hi Jes,

My wife and I don't really shop so we cut down a lot of expenses in that area. At the moment we budget 10% or less for travelling - not a lot lah. I always like to say that travelling has made me infinitely a much better person, and this is something that cannot be measured in monetary terms. I'm glad to have found someone with a perspective that I can identify with in you.<br /><br />Keep travelling!Kevinhttp://www.turtleinvestor.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-34111069657132887532015-11-17T09:20:10.597+08:002015-11-17T09:20:10.597+08:00Jes,
