Status: Getting better at managing my finance 😌
Remember the Sincerely, Us event recently that I invited you to? The personal finance talk with Dr Adam Zubir.
Thank you to everyone who came!
Well, at first I was super excited about it – really pumped to learn about managing my own finance.
Then days before the event, I just realized something. Wait a minute… it’s your event. You are the host therefore you are moderating it, Vivy, I thought to myself.
You have to ask the questions to Dr Adam.
You know nothing about finance.
And you definitely won’t know what questions to ask.
Omg cold sweat. I begged Fadza to moderate – he said it’s my event so I definitely have to do it. Ajjie said the same thing too when I begged her. I gulped and faced my fear. Typed in “What should I ask Dr. Adam?” in chatgpt but the suggestions just didn’t sound like questions I would ask.
I finally accepted that I had to brave myself to do this, and if I looked like a finance fool, then so be it. That’s the entire reason why I wanted to host this talk anyway - so we can all learn together. If everyone is an expert, then they wouldn’t even bother coming.
The day arrived…
