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!

Dementia Is Scary!!!

This morning read the case of police officers and dementia woman at Yishun and reminded him that dementia is scary and can be unavoidable!

Uncle8888 has been through with his late parents-in-law with Dementia and more understanding and alerts to elderly folks and try to help whenever he could help.

More folks should watch out for those dementia and try to help them if possible. 

Hopefully; when Uncle8888 is one of those dementia folks and kindness may come to him.

Uncle8888 is paying forward!

    CW,

    That's why we need to "exercise" our minds and not let it rot when we retire...

    Mahjong and bridge I heard is great.

    Me?

    I hope to trade until I go sell salted eggs... (not for the money or flex of course; just to keep myself intellectually occupied)

    Just like Jim Rogers, Warren Buffett, Stanley Druckenmiller; etc.

    I guess that's the difference between trading to escape and trading to achieve?

      Err ... mental stress, anxiety, depression etc are important factors in dementia. :P

      Leads to excess release of cortisol & hence inflammation. We don't want inflammation ... one of primary causes of heart disease, vascular disease, stroke, cancer, dementia, etc.

      Just ... let it go ... let it go ... LOL.

      1) CW,

      Mind super active; heart explodes!

      You play. I stay the hell out ;)

      But I wouldn't mind exploring the shovels and picks companies though. Shh...



      2) Spur,

      OK, I'll take my tomatoes, olive oil, tunas, and blueberries ;)

      Wait. Isn't it the Mediterranean diet?

      Yeap! Sandwich generation may need even more fund and buffer to FIRE!

    Young people who are thinking of FIRE better prepare for the possibility that their parents and parents-in-law may suffer from dementia for a long time before they pass away. The cost of supporting a dementia elderly is likely to exceed the cost of having a kid. Better not FIRE if funds are not large enough to cover this scenario.

    Meanwhile, we ourselves better make sure we have enough money to support ourselves in case we suffer from dementia so as not to burden our kids. 久病床前无孝子.

    Current generation of parents have to be financially savvy to prevent their children becoming sandwich generation.
