I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

Singapore Interest Rate since 1988

Read? Fed Rate up, STI down?

One of my friends has attended a property investing seminar and the attendees were shown a chart on past years Singapore interest rate and highest rate reached at around 4%. At such low rate property investors  can easily recover the interests payment with rentals.

Here is the Singapore Interest Rate since 1998.

The official interest rate is Singapore Interbank Offered Rate (Sibor), or the rate at which banks lend to one another, which tends to track the Fed rate.

Interestingly, the historical high of 20.00 percent is in January of 1990 and a record low of -0.75 percent is in October of 1993

So don't assume future interest rate cannot rise higher than 2-3%. See the chart for yourself.
