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!

We are so inspired by them! Right?

 Now, How about something for a change?
May be you wish you have not read this.



It took me 23 years!!!



So Uninspiring!


So Demoralizing!

    Investing is not a Get Rich Fast scheme. For me it is like 23 + 16 = 39 years!

    I can't go to any Personal Investment seminar and shout 39 years!

    It is not going to inspire anyone there.

    Pretty sure about it.

    LOL!

    Me as poor saver. It took me 23 years to accumulate size-able capital to have real impact on net worth. In investing, our account size really matters!

    Another 16 years of real soaking myself in the world of financial news over days and nights

    It's really not easy getting capital gains from stock market. Much easier getting passive income from stocks...all you need is a good sized account. So where to get the capital? I think a lot of pple get their capital from work/business, if not then property or inheritance. To get the initial capital from stock market? Easier said than done!

      Yeap.

      The truth and Moral of the Story for the young retail investors. Don't trade off the Power of your human asset to accumulate capital for the return on financial assets too early. Whatever you are doing in your office hours, don't ever think that your peers and bosses are "sleeping" and not watching you closely.

      CW,

      If we are "distracted" by the markets at work, it may cost us in lost promotional opportunities and in pay raises forgone.

      The more we get by-passed in our corporate career, the more "desperate" we want to achieve financial freedom to escape - hence you see people getting into scams (its now or never) or over-paying for courses that promise "success" (grasping at straws)...

      Do what we like.

      Be good at what we do.

      The money will take care of itself.
