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!

Singapore's consumer price inflation rate up by 4.8% year on year

SINGAPORE: Singapore's consumer price inflation rate for first nine months of 2012 increased by 4.8 per cent year on year.
A large part of the increase was due to imputed, rather than actual housing rentals and a surge in the Certificate of Entitlement (COE) premiums for private cars.

COEs contributed 0.9 percentage points to the increase, compared to 0.2 percentage points for public transport costs and 0.2 percentage points for other government fees and charges.

This was revealed by Senior Minister of State for Trade and Industry, Lee Yi Shyan, in a written reply to a question in Parliament.

Nominated MP Laurence Lien had wanted to know whether the government will consider more aggressive measures like a short-term freeze on government fee increases, price increases for new HDB flats and public transport fare hikes, given the persistently high inflation rate.

Mr Lee said the government shares Mr Lien's concerns over the rise in inflation.

It will continue to invest heavily in improving public transport, and is committed to keep public housing affordable.

He added that the government will continue to monitor inflation closely, and is prepared to introduce additional measures if necessary.

Private car owners will face higher personal or family inflationary rate than non private car owner persons or families.


Read? Retiree inflation rate will be different. Likely to be lower than national average.
