Your Personal Finance and Investment - Three Risks That Are Seldom Actively Discussed by Personal Finance and Investment Bloggers

The three risks that we should be thinking very hard when are investing over decades in the stock market:


1. Risk Of Large losses

Once we have locked in large negative losses it is very difficult to recover as most of us may have limited saving to keep adding bullets into our war chest to continue with the Game. So we must think very hard why Mr. Market is wrong and we are RIGHT before we keep averaging down on losses.

2. Risk Of Liquidity Needs

We must think hard and think years ahead on how to meet our future liquidity needs over 5 - 7 years of market cycles; but can be unexpectedly longer. 

We must avoid having to sell our assets at market low to meet our large liquidity needs and locked in large negative losses as in Point 1. 

By selling our valuable assets at market low and locking in large negative losses at the same time; we can say bye bye to our investing goals.

Think way ahead how to meet your liquidity needs; especially the larger ones.

3. Risk Of Inflation over decades when inflation outlives our life


FIRE - The new word in personal finance and investment dictionary.


Financial Independence, Retire Early


When your passive income exceeds your living expenses is FIRE!


Now you can voluntarily fire your  job and your boss when you have enough FU$ or No Thanks$ to walk away from those "nonsenses" from you bosses. Enough is enough!

Sure or not when you are in your late 30s or early 40s?

You have decades of inflation ahead of your life.

When your passive income exceeds your living expenses is FIRE.
