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!

Save more than 60%. No need to invest??? (5)


Read? Save more than 60%. No need to invest??? (4)


Friday, 14 November 2014

Today, at lunch. Uncle8888's female colleague in her early 30s asked this question:
Can save more than 60%. No need to invest. Right?


CW8888: That lunch with her and triggered the above blog post.



Last Thursday, Uncle8888 was having lunch with her again. She was glad that that Uncle8888 could retire voluntary. This is something that she doesn't see it happening for herself. She will have to keep working till her retirement by the company i.e. no voluntary retirement on her own as she still don't have faith in investing. It is just too risky!

  3. Just to clarify... save >60% base on current income

    Her saving including CPF OA & SA?
    No debt (flat fully paid, etc...)

    Does she save >60% over the past?

    Let's say she earn $2K 20 years ago and now earn $5K; saving is $1.2K and $3K respectively.

    However, her living expense is $2K now ($5K * 40%).

    So, her saving is not 1.5 years of expense (http://createwealth8888.blogspot.sg/2014/11/save-more-than-60-no-need-to-invest.html)

    She could consider using CPFLife annuity concept for perpetual income. She could top up cash to increase her monthly payout, i.e. $2K.
