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!

  1. CW,

    Life after FIRE is not exactly "passive" and everything on "auto-pilot" right?

    How many people after FIRE are on the beach all day chilling out?


    I would like to contribute by sharing all these unplanned injections of war chest funds to maintain replacement income is not without OPPORTUNITY COSTS.

    If STI would to touch 2200 again like during March 2020, you war chest would be a lot smaller...


    That's why I can fully appreciate those old fogeys who have made their money OUTSIDE of CPF find the stable and consistent CPF interests (albeit low and boring) so comforting during retirement - no more corporate earned income to dilute out the investment losses!

    Testosterone loss is another reason (attas language to mean baxxs shrink)


    Cough, cough. I better stop. Wait people think I'm with the 1M65 gang!?

    I'm a trader looking to upskill myself into a speculator; anyone know where I can get my testosterone shots?

    LOL!
