Been a rougher year so far.
Still have many blessings to count, but, definitely a more turbulent quarter.
Maybe I should call it a rough quarter. March was especially tough, but, maybe things will get better! I should meditate and manifest!
I’ve been frustrated with Mom renting out the new house to Aunt Lucy, because this means she has to buy 2 sets of everything, Aunt Lucy gets to enjoy the new bed and new house, and I have to help Mom move twice. She wants to rent a UHaul and have me and her move the beds. I do not want to do that.
Then today, I realized, she want 2 houses! I said, Oh I see, this is your equivalent of Uncle Mitch’s farm!
She said she still loves many things about the old house. She doesn’t want to move while she has the physical stamina to live in the old house.
I see.
So instead she will be maintaining 2 houses lol. Well, making that will help her live longer with longer healthspan and joyspan!
I really hope she has a sharp mind while she is alive. I’m rooting for low dose GLP1 becoming a helpful thing for her. She is not as sharp as she used to be. Forgetting words, taking a few seconds longer to figure some things out. Not bad for a 74 yo, but, not the same as before. Heck, even I’m not the same as before. Neither is Dad.
I don’t want to take care of my parents. I don’t have the mental capacity for it and I don’t want that life. I want them to be healthy, happy, independent. I’ll buy them robots.
Today is the 6th day in Victoria and I can barely stand Mom already. I was in the middle of talking to her, in the middle of a sentence, and she suddenly interrupted me with a random topic as she walked away. WTF.
I said, I was in the middle of a sentence. She said, I knew you were gonna be upset again.
Then why do it?!
Is it her being disrespectful because she was bored, or does she have ADHD (exacerbated from aging)?
Probably both.
Dad is even more annoying. Everything I said is met with, “No”. I tell him how something works, he would say no. I tell him facts. He says, you’ve got it wrong. Often he’d explain the correct thing which was exactly what I said. WTFF.
Both of them repeat themselves a lot. Dad even more than Mom. He’s been doing that for decades. Mom is always recalling the same stories (often boring and miniscule), or tie what we’re saying into Taiwanese politics.
I have so little tolerance. The fact that I’m on good terms with them is largely because I hardly see them!
On Thursday, we had dinner with James and Lynn at Zen Sushi again. I thought it was unnecessary because we just had dinner on Monday.
But maybe it was meant to be. James recommended his accountant to me.
He told the tale of his son in-law being fined half a million (in tax) for taking money out of the company. Damn. That scared me.
I have a feeling the accountant is gonna be shaking his head at my actions the past few years.
It’s likely gonna be painful.
I use the company money to pay John. Sometimes invested in stocks. That’s probably a couple million dollars that should’ve been in my corporate account instead of personal account.
Yesterday was a tough day for stocks. Trump announced huge tariffs on Chinese imports. Like around 50%. Stocks tanked.
I hope Trump has a plan. So far he is just pissing everyone off. I hope he is still wanting to benefit us, just we don’t know the whole picture yet.
In 15 to 20 years, I’ll be 60 to 65.
Dad would be gone (or 95~100).
Mom would be 90 to 95. If she ages like her line dancing friends, e.g. Prim, Hilda, then she’ll still be doing quite well.
There will be robot helpers living with her. Hopefully I just need to visit.
In the next 5 years (45~50yo), my goal is for Knot Theory to be operating smoothly, reaching 8 figures, and growing without my heavy involvement.
Accounting is straightened so the biz is sellable if I choose.
My health/beauty goal is to be able to play spikeball and volleyball still. I look young and fit, and feel great – thanks to biohacking and some plastic surgery.
I have fun friends to travel and play with. I should do more fun and adventurous things while Mom and Dad are healthy.
I’ll get a black belt in iFly.
I have started another thriving biz. Growing it to 8 figures.
Stocks continue to do well. By age 50, my stock portfolio is at $25M+.
From 50~60yo, now having a $25M+ net worth, I take the $1M dividend income and have fun with it. Travel even more, biohack and anti-age even more.
I’ll sell Knot Theory if I haven’t already.
I might not want to live in downtown Vancouver anymore. I might become a nomad again.
I’ll have robots. I’ll get robots for Mom and Dad. Likely the robot for Dad will help him as a caretaker, and will chat with him.
I wonder what sport I’ll play. iFly most likely. Maybe volleyball still. Maybe ping pong and pickleball.
From 60~70yo, I might need to spend more time with Mom.
I might move back to Victoria.
There will be lots of fellow old people, so I might have fun with them.
My net worth will be more than $30M by now.
70yo+, which is 30 years from now, I’ll probably be an orphan.
Mortgage will be paid off when I turn 75 lol.
I might sell the house.
I’ll pick a place as my home base.
My net worth will be more than $40M by now.
I’ll buy a dream house, reno it to have fun stuff such as trampoline haha. I’ll have robot helpers.
I’ll choose MAID when life stops being fun.
