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 Investinghas 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!

It is here where I share with you how I did it! FREE Education in stock market wisdom.
But haar ... that's the price to pay for multi-baggers over 20, 30 years. ;)
For those who more into get-rich-quick, they getting schooled in Luna & UST now.
Nothing wrong with trying get-rich-quick, just as long we recognise that it's get rich quick and size it accordingly to our networth, earning capacity, & time horizon.
If unrealised losses are not "real"; then unrealised profits are illusory too.
That's why for those of us what are active (not passive) in the markets, we have core holdings (do nothing part of portfolio), and our rounds 1, 2, 3 trades around our core positions ;)
As retiree, I now fully understand importance and the difference of real and illusion in the market! Never lose back the Real part to Mr Market! Ha ha!
As someone near to retirement I am at a cross road wondering if I should reduce my investment in equities. My current stock holdings yield around $67K a year in dividends. If I were to reduce my exposure to equities, I am not sure where else to park the money that can generate an equivalent amount of passive income.
Luckily at least my wife and I have quite a decent amount in our CPF savings that can generate around $100K per year of passive income when we turn 65, comprising interests from our OA & SA and CPF Life payout. If we delay the CPF Life payout to 70, then we can look forward to $120K per year in passive income from our CPF savings.
As of now, I am still adding to my equities portfolio through my monthly stock purchases. Hoping to bring my dividend income to $72K a year or $6K pm.
Even the STI has finally followed the rest of the world into bearish mood. I believe investors who have a heavy weightage to Singapore market will still do better so far this year than those who have a higher foreign stocks weightage.

I am 66 yrs old uncle living in HDB heartland who has achieved financial independence @ 56 and finally retired @ 60 from full-time job as employee on 1 Oct 2016.
Single household income since 1995 with three children.
Currently, two sons and one daughter are working.
I have been doing 22 years of long-term investing and short-term trading in Singapore stock market only since Jan 2000 so I am that so-called Panda or Koala in the investment world.
Currently, I am on my way to Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life after 23 years of building up Investment Portfolio through long-term investing for growth-dividends and short-term trading on Rounds after Rounds.
I have also achieved sustainable retirement income for life from CPF and Year-on-year Diminishing Bear Market Impact stock Investment Portfolio in local market, SGX! i.e. Beary Safe!
Cheers!

Safer Get Rich scheme is through weekly ToTo. Just have hope and faith that one day I will be rich. LOL!

CW,
