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!

Three Things I Didn't Do To Retire @ 60


1. Penny pinching to keep monthly household expenses as low as possible
Single household income since 1995 and a large financial bomb of three children receiving university education.




















2. Upgrading of RESIDENTIAL home

    I'm pleased to say that not only did I NOT do those 3 things above just like you, I went even further:
    1. I spent my money like there was no tomorrow.
    2. I downgraded my flat (because at that time, singles were not allowed to buy anything larger than 3-room flats)
    3. I lost some CPF-OA money listening to my colleagues and broker.

    And that's not all -- I retired myself at 51 by walking away from the one and only job/career in my life which was still on the ascend. Although, it meant having much much less money to spend, but I'm a million times happier with no care and no stress from anyone. In return, I get back all my time and freedom to observe, savour and learn and understand everything around me every minute of my remaining life. And I've not looked back since.

    Good real life story of not worrying too much of not having enough to retire. Freedom of time and free from life stress is priceless!
