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!

House Money Effect Bias : The Little Lie We Tell Ourselves. It Helps To Calm Our Investing Mind Across Market Cycles


DEFINITION of 'House Money Effect' The tendency for investors to take more and greater risks when investing with profits. The house money effect gets its name from the casino phrase "playing with the house's money."


Uncle8888 is "suffering" from this house money effect bias. 

But; what wrong with this bias?

This is the little lie he told himself that he won't lose any of his hard earned money from his human asset while still earning his own version of CPF Life on variable annuities. 

House money effect bias is the little lie we tell ourselves that we won't ever lose our own hard earned money.  It will help to calm our investing mind across market cycles so that we won't end up too much cash on hand earning too little cash flow from the volatile and unpredictable market cycles of Bulls and Bears.


This image tells the story how Uncle8888's little lie made him don't feel like a Loser!
