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!

My Passive Income!!!




Uncle8888's passive income is from his CPF OA and FDs. It is passive but quite fixed income.

Ready to come and poke? LOL!

      oh by the way, do you compare FD interest between banks? and take some time to decide on the tenure?
      how do you decide on your tenure?

      that reminds me, do you do topups? how do you decide when to do topups? and how u decide how much? and if you did compare the 'risk free' rate with market yields (bonds/stocks), what are your steps in comparing?

    I think the most passive but not completely passive if we are strict about the term passive is:
    bank deposits during high inflation periods. (again you got caveats!)

    one of the most investigative posts I came across by young bloggers (mostly, they just shoot off the mouth based on recent history which is a plus sometimes, these are blogs afterall, not editorials or gazetted e-zines ;)) is:
    http://sgyounginvestment.blogspot.sg/2013/07/the-history-of-post-office-savings-bank.html

    I was warning friends against high leverage (before the fed kia and had their hands tied) when they asked me about the safest high yielding investments. I told them I didn't know whether we will get to see it during our lifetime: high yield bonds by merit of central bank.

    so I told them the next best thing: bank deposits during high inflation periods and suddenly this young blogger came up with his post. kudos!

    take note CPF also correlated closely with bank deposit rates because both are correlated with 10yr government yields.
    https://www.cpf.gov.sg/Assets/common/Documents/InterestRate.pdf
    just that CPF has a floor rate, that's all.

    actually our government did a lot and it is good that they have been prudent. Just that their darts kept missing lately when it comes to the economy.

    but deposits can withdraw anytime and CPF cannot. ;)

    now, a bonus for you faithful cw8888 readers, can you guess my next question and the answer to it?
    ;) I don't want you to be too passive ;)

      Government did a good job by stricting CPFIS to 35% of investable balance in CPF OA after AFC.

      One ex-colleague retired after 1998 with few thousands left in his CPF OA and was scolded by his daughter for his foolishness.

      my goodness! sometimes tough measures are needed to protect the 'foolish' public from themselves.
      (foolish as in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_fool_theory)

      it's been 18 years since AFC. time flies! having witnessed that at 42 probably helped you for the better, uncle?

    Happening in AFC ...

    Read? Not Interested In Investing or Too scared To Invest???

    Read? Will You Try To Pay Off Your Housing Loan ASAP If You Have One? - Revisit

    In those days before AFC, one could lose job, CPF saving, and investment portfolio. It was real wipe out!

    Govt did realize that it was far too risk to let people have free hand with their CPF.

    Paper money so they would just whack!

      AFC is one of the most interesting recessions to study: its causes and long term effects.
      one of the lasting effects is that it also enabled singapore to have more breathing room which we have since squandered away regrettably.

      the experiences of living through the AFC is also one of the devastating a married with children person could have.
