Introduction

Hey there! I’m Milie J. Founder and owner of Milie’s Journey.

My mission is to share my lessons and help you take control of your finances, grow your wealth, and live a fulfilling life—without compromising your goals or dreams.

My Story

When I was a teenager, I was under the impression that once I’ve gotten a full-time job, I will finally be free and happy.

I graduated by the time the pandemic ended and got a full-time job as I have envisioned. Unfortunately, I was still unsatisfied and unable to earn enough to do the things that I envisioned – like living on my own, not feeling guilty for eating out every time and working a job that I enjoy.

That is when I started with to question everything and what I was doing wrong.

I discovered the idea of financial freedom and happiness is subjective.

I didn’t have to have the same dream as everyone else. I figured out what matters to me and realised that money is a good tool to get me closer to my envisioned life.

Over the years, I learnt strategies to manage money smartly, growing my side income, and still investing in my personal development from other content creators and self-experimentation.

My blog is here to share what I’ve learned so you can make your own path to financial freedom and fulfillment.

Past Life

Before this journey, I’ve spent 4 years working at a major insurance company in Malaysia after I graduated with a degree in Actuarial Science from a UK university (I’m well aware of how privileged I am!)

While I thrived in my career, I realized I wanted more control over my life and finances.

I enjoyed what I did in insurance, but there’s a small nagging feeling that I might be on the wrong career path. I was also afraid of sacrificing 3 years of studying insurance just to pivot into a whole new career.

After months of contemplating and re-evaluating what I want in life, I have decided to follow my gut feeling and it is one of the best decisions in my life.

Present

This year, I have finally decided to pivot my career into Data Science which is more aligned with my interest and enjoying my second chance of being a full-time Masters student at University Malaya!

My ability to take a year off work is due to my 4 years of delayed gratification and consistent investing to allow my money to grow passively.

This blog will also be my passion project where I would share the lessons I’ve learned in personal finance, online income, and self-improvement so that you can apply them to your life.
