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!

    1. The period to invest our CPF fund is short. Just that few months of exposure to the bear market..

  5. Unfortunately our human brain is not made to easily understand the exponential function (= compounding). We are lazy and prefer to think in linear terms.
    As such the Ninth Wonder of the World can only be understood once you punch a few numbers into a financial spreadsheet and fast forward 30+ years.
    I recently asked a group of Principle of Accounts-Teachers whether they believe that saving 1 Dollar a day can make you a millionaire in your lifetime. Most stared at me with open mouths. In fact one can achieve that feat.
    It just takes about 70 years (which is fairly well within an average lifetime) and an annual return of 8% (historically a broad based stock market investment can achieve that).

    2. I agree your visualization is great.
      And once people punch their numbers into a spreadsheet and plot a chart one would say that everybody should get it.
      Dinkytown has great calculators including visualization: https://www.dinkytown.net/
