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!

Year-end budgetting for the next 2 years

Just For Thinking ....

Common advice from financial advisors is to keep 6 - 12 months ready cash for emergency use; but there is no such thing as one size fits all.

You should sit down and do your year-end budgetting exercise for the next 2 years. You must seriously and consciously think through what are the expected expenses that may be coming up in next 2 years and how you are going to fund these expenses.

You should not be thinking that you can easily fund your expenses by liquidating your stocks next year.

Nobody can predict where the maket will be going in the next two years and you might be liquidating near market low. Heart pain hor!
