    :( Finally did my accounting. Honestly, it did frustrate and discourage me a bit knowing that with all the charges and fees, I'm bleeding out cash. Though not much but giving that I'm doing this for a couple of months now, it could be a couple of hundreds already. At least now I feel a...

    Adding my sales screen as reference for documentation purposes. Note: This isn't profit, just gross sales. I have to compute profit by 1-Mar (1st time I'd do accounting in detail). :D Goal is to have at least $5k of sales by Dec 2019 onwards with profit of 10%-20%.

    EXECUTION 
    Now projecting and goal setting: Saw a thread "100 day challenge", got me pumped to get involved. I already did a $1k month last year so this year I'm targeting $5k month of sales with 10%-20% profit by end of the year. Which means I have to plan a monthly goal and target. :)

    How should you save and budget money every month?

    INVESTING 
    For me, I found a bank that gives a high savings rate(limited to one high savings rate account per person) as long you satisfy their conditions (e.g. a monthly deposit and open/link a daily account where you use a debit card to purchase transactions). I have 4 accounts in that bank: 1. Daily...
