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!

The Myth Of The Bell Curve: Look For The Hyper-Performers








Yesterday, Uncle8888 explained (actually it is consoling him) how Bell Curve actually worked against older assets in the similar grade. He is in his late 40s now. 

Last year, life as an old asset in corporation has just began for him so he has to learn to accept it.

An old asset is paid less for the same effort!


What he can do for himself now is to focus more on his financial assets to supplement his depreciating human asset.

  1. Are you also working in an enforced Bell Curve environment?

  2. This is a sad fact of life.
    I believe one day I will go through this. So I am preparing for it now.

    2. It's natural lah...

      When we are young, we replace those senior. Then our turn come, we are replaced by junior. Life cycle keep going on.

      Like CW888 said, while earning active income, we have to build up financial asset to supplement the "depreciating asset".

      When we retire, we retire in style. :)

    3. Not true. Absolutely not.

      When I started work; in those days wages based on seniority . Older assets were paid more.

      There was no such as Bell Curve!

    4. I have been working for US MNC for decade. Bell curve does apply.

      Yes, seniority does command higher paid in the same category. But there is wage ceiling for every category. When these senior reach the senior and not promoted to next higher level, they got stuck because of qualification and/ or performance (not year increment, only yearly token).

      Those younger and more qualify employee will get promoted to next level at faster rate. And in no time, they will be supervisor for those got stuck.

      The hard truth is most senior workers were replace by more qualify, younger and cheaper staffs.

    5. Microsoft realized after one decade of implementing enforced Bell Curve; it didn't work and ditched it.

      Wondering how long will it take for other companies to realize it?
