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. CW,

    This is the time when the rubber hits the road :(

    When we discover who will stick with us till the end...

    Or just pack us off to some attas 5 stars nursing home...

    Hey! Anything that money can resolve, its not a problem right?

    Isn't that's why we have X amounts in Y years goals? To achieve financial "success"?

    Money can solve everything :(

  2. Govt is well aware of this with more & more elderly singles, those without children (or children working overseas) & simply those with weak family ties. Which is more & more the case due to shrinking family sizes, breakdown of extended families (how willing people are to help relatives/in-laws etc), and high costs of living (sandwiched generations etc).

    Since 2016 the Mental Capacity Act has been amended to help better protect the financials of those with cognitive decline .... allowing use of "professional" deputies & donees to manage financial decisions .... more oversight by courts & Office of Public Guardian.

    Now even got course to teach people like lawyers, doctors, accountants to become professional deputies & donees. Additional revenue stream for them?!? But these type of people are probably geared towards those elderly with substantial portfolios, else the "reasonable" annual fees (say 1%) won't be attractive for these pros!

    So far the most practical scheme is the Community Kin Service where elderly with cognitive decline work with VWOs & the courts (court order) & OPG to manage the finances, together with the healthcare & daily living needs. I only know Touch Community Service and AMKFSC Community Services provide this. But I suspect govt will push this model more aggressively over the next 1-2 decades.

    The VWOs (or other administrators) need to provide annual reports of the individuals to OPG. But there is always potential for abuse e.g. ownself pay ownself as the administrators can bill themselves (or their subsidiaries) for various "services & products". OPG has to maintain close oversight to ensure spending is necessary & reasonable.
