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!

Optimism Bias: Believing that you are above average and that misfortunes are more likely to befall others

Seriously, how many average retail investors fully understand the big difference between 2.6% Compound Interests payable on HDB housing loan and Compound Returns on stock investment.

To be able to beat that 2.6% Compound Interests payable on HDB housing loan with Compound Returns on stock investment will require you to stay fully re-invested most of the time across several stock market cycles of bulls and bears. This low figure of 2.6% may look relatively small enough and it may make you to believe it is quite easy to beat it, Right?
