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!

Our salary increases by 4% per year???























Salary increases by 4% per year??? (based on MOM’s statistics on the average wage increase over the past 10 years)

Do workers or employees receive salary increase @ x% year after year until they retire at 65 (current official Singapore retirement age)?

Our current job may NOT be secured till our official retirement age.

Once we got retrenched; our salary may suffer deep cut and we start over again at much lower level?


We can still compound our salary @ X% growth as projected???




You got white hair or dyed hair?

If no, you want to check with your parents, grandparents; old uncles or aunties or your old uncles or aunties sitting in your office.

Statistical data can be used for reference or BS by the presenter!

  2. Is this not a bigger BS:

    In this brand new 2 hours seminar, I will share with you how I am able to achieve a $10,000 monthly trading income with just 30 minutes a day!

  3. I graduated with an Engineering degree in 1987. Started working for AT&T in 1988 for about S$2K per month. Jumped to Hewlett Packard after 2 years for higher pay. Joined Caltex/Chevron 3 years later in 1992, again for higher salary.

    Retrenched in Feb 2004. Worked as a salaried employee for about 16.5 years. Last drawn salary S$8,350, if I remember correctly.

    Not employed or self employed since Feb 2004 as a full time day trader.

    I would say that my total income from my day trading is the same now compared to 5 years ago.

    Based on statistical projections, how much money would a fresh graduate have when they reach 65, if they can attend a trading course and make $10K a month?

  5. This is what I said in FB with reference to the $3M article. :-)


    Mathematically correct.....

    Most of the people salary hit a snap when he is in the mid life crisis age (40+). When so to silver age (50+), face with job retrenchment and few can work all the way to 60~65.

    Saving constantly of 25% through out is also not realistic. IMO, only few can do it.

    The article is bias as the writer is promoting Index Investing.

    1. Over the year across several bad economic cycles, I kena one time 10% pay cut with zero bonus and another two times of pay freeze with zero bonus. Older colleagues were retrenched. Considered myself quite lucky to survive with pay cut and pay freeze.

    2. Every job role in company has its salary ceiling or maximum. When we reach that salary ceiling or maximum; we will stay there without any salary increment for sometime till we either get promoted, move out for a higher salary, or lucky enough with company wide salary revision and adjustment.

      Only those few high flyers may keep moving up and get higher and higher pay till they retire as CXXX and the rest of us can only shake our head at yearly inflation. This one sure increase!

  6. The sad fact of an employee's life is that no employer will give increment beyond the current inflationary rate if the employee does not create more value for the company.

    And yes, retrenchment, pay freezes, etc...all can happen.

    How to consistently save 25% if u r really livinfg a normal life (ie get married, hv kids who need to eat and be brought up in a way to get ahead in the rat race, hv parents who are mortal and will get old and sick)?
