$213,172 Passive Income.

It has been a while since my last blog.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Instead of revealing the numbers at the end of the blog, I have put it in the title this time.

So, for people who just want the numbers, they don't have to read the whole blog or start reading the blog even.

Time is precious, I know.

9 months worth of passive income and someone told me it is probably more money than what most people make in a year.

Why do I still worry about money?

In the past, I would have argued but I just nodded my head.

Since my last blog and video on YouTube, I have not looked at investments.

Well, I did sell some stocks like I said I was thinking of doing to increase exposure to Bitcoin but that was all I did.

Bitcoin now forms more than 10% of my portfolio which I think is enough for me, considering the size of my portfolio and my needs.

All else being equal, passive income could come in lower in 2026 because of reduced exposure to some income producing stocks.

I would be able to enjoy cash flow from my not insignificant CPF savings then, however, as I turn 55 in 2026.

So, all is well.

I have turned off all feeds related to money matters and I don't have finfluencers' content being pushed in my face.

I haven't read research reports from brokers either.

This is probably surreal to many of my long time readers and it felt that way to me initially too.

It felt surreal because I was so used to worrying about money and I was constantly looking out for all things financial.

I don't know exactly when but it happened in the last couple of months.

"It is just money."

To be fair, we can only say this when we have enough money.

If we are fortunate enough to have enough money and if we are fortunate enough to realize the fact, we should if we could take it easy.

Peace of mind is priceless.

Like I said earlier in the blog, time is precious.

Too precious to be spent worrying about money all the time.

Of course, if you have been following my blog for a long time, you know it took me many years to get to where I am today.

We cannot be right all the time but if we do the right things, then, things would probably turn out well for us most of the time.

Remember that no one cares more about our money than we do.

Don't ask barbers if we need a haircut.

If AK can do it, so can you.
