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!

How Soon Should You Start Investing Your CPFIS And SRS?


We often hear from those "Gurus" or commercially vested bloggers. Start early and let compounding works wonder for you!

Chun bo?

Here in this blog, Uncle8888 will share with you what real life retail investors had shared with him.

In the investment blogophere; you are most likely to hear successful investing stories or how much dividend income they are receiving. Oh! How tough can it be?

Very seldom do we hear about pain in the ass on their real life investing experience on the ground.


One more real life story:

Saving pennies on his tax relief in SRS; but losing dollars in investing his SRS.

He is not happy with CPF OA 2.5% compound interests; but losing X times 2.5% negative compounding return in his CPFIS.

Six years into investing his SRS and CPFIS; and also he has spent his time and effort reading many investment books and daily visits to investing forum e.g. currently IN (Hmm.. it is more like TN) to improve his investing knowledge and skill

You can judge for yourself.

Investing is tough as we will never believe that we can lose so much when we started investing. Right?

Investing your CPFIS is even tougher. Why not happy with compounding interests of 2.5%?
