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!

Way beyond Emergency Fund!




When we are no longer young; but old enough to be near retirement or semi-retirement phase.

We will face the two greatest financial fears in our life:

1. Inflation on our life expenses
2. Permanent Loss of Capital due to forced selling during market low to meet liquidity needs for life expenses


As retirees without the capability of injecting new capital, we must never lose our investing capital during market low. Once we locked in permanent loss of capital, it will become extremely difficult to recover without new capital.

That is why.

SMOL: It’s good to be young and feeling invincible! Treasure this moment. We are only young once ;)

  1. CW,

  2. Minimum objective for tap 1 should be to ensure capital preservation.

    Tap 2 will cover the inflation worries.

  3. Create passive incomes - sell ebooks or rent out your HDB flats.

    One cannot afford to retire in Singapore based on savings, CPF and investment returns.

    1. Retire in Singapore based on savings, CPF and investment returns alone is not Mission Impossible.


      It can be done.

      No need to look elsewhere

  4. Total portfolio base on assets allocation is my belief. Depend on the current economic climate, what you think is the best for some of your assets to be in maybe different from me or him.
