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!

Time Value Spent On Saving and Investment

Do you think you are a smart investor with your investing capital and time?

Most of the smart investors are very smart when it comes to managing their investing capital; but when it comes to determining the time value spent on saving or investment, these smart investors may not be so smart.

One good example is painting your house for the coming Chinese New Year.

Assuming you are a smart investor who knows how to make few hundred bucks from the stock market from time to time?

Would you rather pay the painting contractor to paint your house or you save that few hundred bucks by laboring yourself over the weekends to paint your own house?


If you choose to paint your own house just to save that few hundreds instead of doing researches over weekends to look for stocks ideas; then you are still unclear of time value on saving and investment.

Likewise, as a smart investors, do you spent most of your time to look for better deals to save on pennies and forgo the time to spend on finding better investment ideas that will return more dollars.

Time spent on saving is the opportunity cost for investment.

Saving and Investment are the twin sisters while Leisure and Working are the twin brothers.
