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!

Live Simply?

Live Simply is NOT THE SAME as trying to save every penny one has and living like a miser. No, it is not like that. Remember that we ONLY live ONCE, and let try to enjoy ourselves and still have fun, and yet not spending too much time and energy acquiring more money to sustain that kind of lifestyle.

We can choose our own lifestyle. We can choose how to spend our time, energy, and money or we can choose NOT to catch up with frenetic urge to acquire more to show off. We can choose to slow down in the later stage of our work life and forgo climbing the corporate ladder once we have less family liabilities.

I have chosen to be DEBT FREE before 40 and will remain that way till the day I say bye bye to planet Earth. I don't bother with the idea of GOOD DEBT OR BAD DEBT. Every debt by nature carries the risk of default in the event of a BLACK SWAN happening. How to live a carefree life if one still have debts to pay off as you will need to divert some time and energy into debt management.

I choose not to upgrade my four-room flat so that I will not get into another debt.

I choose BMW as transport. (Bus, MRT, Walk)

I choose to be partial blind and unable to see clearly what others have in their everyday processions.


So what did you choose and that will determine how you are going to slog it out in your work life?
