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!

No 'wealth effect' in S'poreans' spending: MAS

STOCK and property prices in Singapore go up or down, but people do not change how they spend.

The lack of a so-called "wealth effect" in Singapore was highlighted by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) in its latest macroeconomic review.

MAS found that people do not rush to go on shopping sprees just because the values of stocks or homes in general have soared.

Just For Thinking ....

 Read?  Asset Rich. Cash-flow Rich

Only when we are cash-flow rich, then we can be more generous in spending i.e. wealth effect! MAS's finding just confirm it.  We need to be both asset rich and cash-flow rich to be wealthy. Not meh?

  1. I think the issue is that Singaporeans are naturally conservative, and there is not the conspicuous consumption culture that there is in the West. And really, that is no bad thing!
