Many western people could travel for at least
6 months or up to 1 year
How could they do so?
One of the advantages is because they have stronger currency
and they do not commit themselves for loans
Buying car/ house once started to work
And a majority of them prefer to have to explore the world and enjoying life?
While in Asia culture, we just tend to be "kiasu"
We want to own everything in hand,
for example, business, car, house and family etc.
We do not want to be left out of the normal norm.
When you are reaching the age of 30,
and if you still
do not have a good career, do not own a car and house yet,
hence people will categorise you as an unsuccessful person.
Anyway, If you want to take a break just like me
and
get to travel for a while.These are the few things and tips I have done:
a) WORK
There is no other shortcut.Work and save it to get travel fund.
If you are a student now, and you know you want to go for overseas travelling
Hence you should have started to do part-time while you are studying.
If you know and clear about your goal earlier, you would plan it earlier.
Alternatively, you could find out those programs such as
Speedwing USA working holidays
New Zealand Working Holiday Visa
b) Sales Field Got Me Money
I worked as Sales in order for me to get more funds.Sales is the channel that allows me to get more cash but of course, pressure would be there.
However, when you managed to get the 5 figures income, everything is worth it.
And there are many types of Sales, you do not necessarily sell it to end users.
You could also do in a professional and corporate way.
c) Saving
Make sure you have some savings every month.
Set a goal when you will be going to get enough money to travel.
For my case, If I have overspent that month, I will save up some money on next monthor figure out various ways to invest in something else.
c) Investment
I diversified my money to various investments - mutual funds, share etc.
(depends on your ability, do not put all eggs in one basket)
These are the ways how you could make more money, increase your cash flow.
d) Part-time job
Besides full-time job, find a job that you think you are good at.
Or even though if you are not good at it but you are willing to try, still go ahead.
You will never know what would be the outcome.
For me, I like writing despite I am not good at grammar.
For me, by writing could I express myself
better.
e) Assets
Ok, I am also a typical Asian.
Buying houses so that I feel secure and I am implementing Airbnb concept and rent it out for extra money.

Besides this, renting out the car park at my condominium is also another money source.
f) Car rental
Renting out your car to someone who is needed and trusted.
Of course, you have to be aware and have a mutual agreement
before renting out your car to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.
g) Carousell
sell out unnecessary kinds of stuff
when you plan to buy a new laptop, try to sell out the old laptop.
Same case for the phone.
As you could see, there are many ways to increase cash flow
and
it seems these things everyone knows about it.
And it is pretty common ways, isn't it?
However, how many people are willing to try it out?
We are just too comfortable with our current comfort zone, again, there is no right or wrong.
This is your own life.
We do not need to tell you what you should you do in your life,
you should already know what is your game plan in life.
