Mickey Chia- Couples Finance Specialist

Important announcement:

All future posts will be on my other page Mickey Chia I tried to merge the 2 pages together but Facebook couldn’t merge them. Do follow the other page for future posts on relationship and financial advice!

One of the main things I have strived to do during this lock down period, is to catch up on my reading. And I always have had the habit of doing a summary of the books I find useful, so that I can understand the concepts inside better, and also to have bite sized slides to refer back to, instead of rereading the books.

But this time I am taking it to the next level, by breaking it down to pictorial format (refer to previous posts for format), and sharing it with my friends. Each book will be broken down to several simplified posts for easy digestion, in a way I feel will bring the message across better.

Do vote for which book you want me to summarise, by liking/commenting on the photo your book appears, or simply commenting on this post. Looking forward to doing as many books as possible!

So touched to be classified under “Essential” services that our country cannot do without in these trying times hahaha!

I am publishing a second edition of my book!
-----
Today, I was approached by someone who heard about my book and loved it!📙🖋️

We met during a business event and he found out that I was actually in the process of creating an online course on how I can help couples improve their relationships by sharing with them how to have deeper and safer money conversations.

🌟These skills and knowledge have allowed me to help hundreds of couples for the last 3 years.
I also taught them about my D.I.S.N.E.Y. system to manage their money together, and they have a better understanding of each other and their finances right after the session. 😃💪

He then asked me if I would like to re-publish the book on this unique skill of mine. 📙🖋️
I shared this good news to a few of my closed ones, and they ask if they can get the book at a discount when I launch.😃🎉

After discussing with him, he agreed to it and say that my 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧 𝟑0 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 “𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭!” 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮 𝗠𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗩𝗘 8𝟬% off 𝐩𝐫𝐞-𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁. 😃💪

As this is still during the pre-launch stage, I would like to know how many of you are interested to receive this book when it is ready so that I can estimate how many books to print.

“We have been dating for x amount of time, when should I be offering to pay my share?”
“Should I be offering to pay for the first date?”
“How do I get this person I’m dating to go Dutch?”
“How much should I be insisting on paying for the meal if he keeps offering to do it?”

These are some of the questions I get asked from people that just started dating. The question of who should be paying for dates has been rather debatable, especially in this age where women have equal or even better earning capacity than men. While there is no fixed rule as to who should be paying, as every couple has their own dynamics, here is what most men and most women feel when they approach this topic.

There will be enough for everyone if we all don’t take more than what we need!

Why don’t we change:
“Stay away from Wuhan” to “Stay strong Wuhan”?
“They deserve it” to “They deserve more love”?
“They are Bat eating monsters” to “They are Human beings with a different culture”?
“Send all Chinese Nationals back to where they belong!” to “Let’s see what we can do to help them here. They must be worried too”?
Spreading animosity to spreading love?
Signing petitions banning Chinese from travelling to your country to praying for those in quarantine and wishing for their good health?

Because in times of crisis we don’t need people spreading fear and selfishness. We need more acceptance and love for others. Yes we are all afraid, but that does not give us the right to judge others based on where they are from. A few bad eggs don’t represent the community. We all have them. Some media and people like to use these people to spread their agenda. Understand that this is just a small minority, the vast majority are just like you and I, we all want to be safe and healthy.

Understand that a lockdown of a city as huge as Wuhan has never been done in the history of mankind, and that mistakes are bound to happen when there is nothing for them to learn from. People, not just from Wuhan, are volunteering their time and sacrificing their safety to help, from medical professionals to builders of new hospitals to cleaners on the streets, all in order to make it happen and to help find a solution.

Also understand that a lockdown means that nobody from Wuhan has been able to travel out of the city already. Not by plane, not by train, even public transport is not available within the city. With a population of 11 million it is inevitable that thousands had travelled out before the lockdown. And with the virus showing no signs and symptoms in the initial stage, many of those currently infected had thought they were safe. Try to empathise with what they are feeling right now instead of blaming them for carrying the virus to your country.

A little more understanding, a little less blame. A little more empathy, a little less hate. A little more love, a little less judgement. We are all in this together. We have survived worse. We will survive this.
