#Adulting

Today, I signed myself a new home--one that is highly coveted for amongst the average middle class millennial couple. 

I would think I'm lucky, since I got it on my first try and skipped some couple's 3 year bidding wait. But diving deeper, it would seem a bit of a sad situation to be happy about a $600,000 debt that I'll only be able to rid in 30 years. 

It's been 12 hours since I signed the papers and I'm suddenly in a frenzy, fretting about wedding and renovation costs and the feasibility of it all, considering that I've only got 3 years to achieve all that. My conclusion, it ain't that bad!

I am not intentionally patriotic, but I do think I'm lucky enough to be born into a country with a government that actually thinks for its citizens. A $600,000 burden isn't as burdensome as it sounds, and we live in a factoried system where I can turn to my experienced friends to gain insights and advice from.

This year has been crazy, but it's been awesome... from an #adulting POV that is. I got a $900 pay increment from my previous job, I work in the CBD and sit in an office with a view of the Singapore River, I got a BTO flat in a Central region and I'm not single at the age of 27! 

But am I happy? Yes and no. I've never been more tired, I actually think I may be developing anxiety from stress at work and home, and I'm not sure if I'm actually suited for my job. 

How can I find peace in a stressful world?
