We read recession news all over the main stream medias and alternative medias. However, have you experienced it first hand ? I have always lived like a poor so whether it is recession or depression, it does not make a whole lot of difference in my life style.

However, I experienced it first hand this memorial weekend as we took our summer vacation to Highland, North Carolina. There are 3 common things that my spouse and I both love, 1 is God, 2 is book and 3 is travel. Over the span of seven years that we have been married, we have traveled over 27 states in America. One of our family jokes was one that from his late mother , according to her it’s cheaper to travel than see a psychartist and I have to agree with her :). I personally think taking holiday from our normal routine life is very therapeutic. It is a time when I unwind, relax and reflex on life. It is a time when I rejuvenate, recharge and contemplate on new investment strategies. I knew there are a lot of people who are cutting down a lot of activities or stopped buying a lot of things that they used to have and I feel bad that they have to do it that way. But, I do not think I am going to cut down my holiday any time soon because I see the value of holiday in my family life.

How could you resist this, right ?

I personally believe there is a great difference between the mindset of the rich and the poor in saving and investing. The poor spend almost every penny that they have got and then they start to think about saving when they do not have a whole lot to save; the rich think about making more money and continue to live a frugal lifestyle that they are always use to. I personally think it is of higher priority to invest than save during this hyperinflation period.

What is hyperinflation ? According to Wikipeida :

In economics, hyperinflation is inflation that is “out of control,” a condition in which prices increase rapidly as a currency loses its value. Formal definitions vary from a cumulative inflation rate over three years approaching 100% to “inflation exceeding 50% a month.” In informal usage the term is often applied to much lower rates. As a rule of thumb, normal inflation is reported per year, but hyperinflation is often reported for much shorter intervals, often per month.

We are living in a hyperinflation period. Gasoline was $3 just 2 month ago but today it is $3.98, nearly $4. It is an increase of 33% . How much can you save to keep pace with the increase price of goods ?

Why such a contrarian heading ? You ask ?

I have not spend a lot of times blogging because the last semester while I was in school, my grade suffered a lot while I put quite a lot of effort blogging and mentoring new bloggers. Being a dean-list student and a GPA of close to 4, I decided I should let go of serious blogging for a while and instead concentrate on my studies for a while first. Today, I finish my last exam (not final) and will be doing my 120-hours clinical internship for the next 3 weeks and that ease me a bit with my studies though I still have to sit for my licensing exam after my internship and my final.

When I started blogging, I read about how you should join network, visit others blogs and leave comments and you should get your audience, blar blar. I realized there are a whole lot of Malaysians blogs out there and a lot of women too; likewise there are a lot of American women too and a lot of mothers group but I did not feel a strong urge to join any of the groups. I also realized most of the blogs that have a lot of comments are those blogs which the authors post their family photos and their personal notes. Most of these people visit one another blogs and leave comments. I decided that is not my cup of tea. I think I am more interested in a niche topics which is investment and finance.

When this social media started, I put my blog on their finance and investment category. Though I have not have a lot of time to go through each one of them but I found quite a number of worth to read blogs and I am very glad I found a number of like minded men and women in that category.

I have always wanted to know about track back but I have asked around but have never got my answer correct. Today I read the post on problogger’s blog written by Andy Wibbels on Introduction to Trackbacks and I hope it works for me.
