Blame himself for NOT taking up investment courses and be guided by "Gurus" to become Millionaire from stock market and FIRE???
Sometime, I seriously think that there are too many investment bloggers over exaggerating the importance of investing over earning and saving power. No?
ReplyDeleteInvesting is Game of Capital! Your account size really matters!
Ok, time to have new blog "FIRE with high salary!". LOL!
ReplyDeleteLaw & medical faculties will hold seminars showing graphs of their graduates' earning power ... Lecturers will be holding loudspeakers & saying "You wanna FIRE??? Join us!!!" :P
"Career gurus" will sell courses on how to "get fast promotions & huge increments". LOL!
LOL!
DeleteBeing a saver is a virtue. But to go further in life, has to learn and do some investment lor.
ReplyDeleteBut not many has the skills and emotional control to do it well.
Assuming we got 40 years of working life, we might gets to experience 4 crisis at an interval of 10 years. If play a waiting game, would be like save up for 10 years, invest during crisis, sell during peak. If the earning/saving power is good, capital and growth is sufficient, it may just be possible to achieve some form of financial security by the 2nd or 3rd crisis.
This one depends on individual's risk level liao. Some people really cannot sleep well when gets involved high risk investments, lol.
DeleteBut hor...purely relying on savings is tough to go far in life in this age of inflation. There are many investment machines cater for people of different risk level. Fixed Deposits or some saving retirement plans or even the DBS multipler, whether enough or not it is pretty much subjective liao but i think its still much better than letting the soldiers rot inside the bank earning that.....sad interests.
