I achieved a lot of what I set out to do #cf peers

I achieved a lot of what I set out to do

• I (together with my beautiful wife) raised 2 beautiful, healthy kids
• I helped my son take up piano, and due to his and our effort, he didn't give up. 
• I managed to start my GC early.
• ----self-management
• many peers put on lots of weight as we age. I didn't
• all my peers know the importance of exercise but I am more successful with my exercise
• I'm also lucky to have this office facility
• I didn't lose my momentum. I think many of my peer did.
• I didn't slow my pace of self-improvement and learning. Few peer did the same.
• ----cash flow
• I managed to control my U.S. burn rate to around $1300 including rental and driving. Very hard to achieve
• I managed to increase my income in Singapore, even as I aged, and even without my specializations
• I managed my SGD/USD cash flow very well. Paid off mtg and BridgeRetail shops
• I now have passive income, much better than what my peers have.
• ----career
• my c++zbs has finally increased, perhaps from 3 to 6?
• I managed to retain my java IV standard despite lack of use
• I didn't lose my focus 
• I didn't give up my goal
• I remain convinced that I can learn and improve even as an aging developer
• my c++ IV success stories have roughly doubled since I returned to Singapore
