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!

Highly trained, middle-aged and out of work (2)


Read? Highly trained, middle-aged and out of work


Our human asset is like soccer. We can't just play well in the first half and lost badly on the second half.

Fantastic first-half ...



Dressed in an unassuming polo T-shirt and jeans, it is hard to tell that Mr Desmond Tan was once the head of Asia sales at one of the largest European banks.

Forced to quit shortly after the 2008 financial crisis, he was later turned away from jobs by bank after bank, some even saying he was "over-qualified" for the positions they were offering, given his over two decades of experience.

The 55-year-old, who used to earn more than $25,000 a month, now has to settle for commissions of about $3,000 from his current job as a property agent.

"I used to deal with money that numbered in the millions," Mr Tan said. But now his fees come only in the hundreds.


Very poor second-half ....


now has to settle for commissions of about $3,000 from his current job as a property agent.



We must prepare for our second-half like Ants or live like Grasshoppers in the first-half. Your choice. No right or wrong?

  1. Hi Uncle 8888

    Seems like the term" YOLO" ( You only live once ) exists much in an earlier era.

    1. Internet and social media have made this term " YOLO" ( You only live once ) widely known to us and we became aware of it. LOL!
