How to generate another RA tap?

  How to generate another RA tap? Savings have to be deliberate intention and discipline; putting aside the money or reinvest the cashback and let it compound. My learning from my colleague single policy: *Single $100k @6% (quite decent dividend/interest) put aside for 20year. a. $100k×(1.06^(20) = $320k maturity sum b. Then withdraw it over next 20-years; $100k×(1.06^(20)÷(20×12) = $1.33k p.m.  It gives $1.33k p.m. every month for 20-years. c. My colleague chose to save $280k total !! age 48 to 55yo.  He started late and hence shorter runway to compound. *$280k ×(1.05^(10)÷(10×12) = $3.8k p.m.  But it is still good to enjoy $3.8k p.m. from 65 yo to 75yo. My Takeaway 1. Be it any saving instrument, stocks or endowment or CPF-SA, build up and reinvest or compound it, the principle sum has to be of bigger sum like $200k or $300k portfolio. (The bigger the better, just no quick return and get scammed.) Small portfolio, small outcome.

Can retire with $1k monthly? got bluff me?

  Someone who is my cohort just retired last year.  He candidly shared that his average monthly expenses is less than $1000. Some background that I gathered: 1.  Married with a working adult child. 2.  Stay in condo; ever spinned n profited from few property sales. 3.  Still need to support aged parent with 4 siblings. 4. No car. So I did some quick calculation to see sure or not to retire with $1k monthly expenses. Think his $1k p.m. is thin retirement. Utility & PS, water : $100 p.m. Telco: $20 p.m.  MCST: $200 p.m. (where got so low maintenance?) Medishieldlife: $800 / 12= $66 p.m. (can pay by CPF-MA) H&S Shield Plan: $1200 / 12 = $100 p.m. (excluded $680 deducted from MA) Support his parents: $2000/5 = $400. Basic fixed monthly overhead:  100+20+200+100 + 400 = $820 With just $1000 p.m., net available for meal = $1000 - $820 = $180 p.m. (or $6 per day) Not forgetting that he just retired, he need to fully pay his last year personal income t...

How to build a $6k p.m. ($70k) from Local Stock trading/dividend?

My Endowment payout tap 1. For past 13 years, I have bought 25 endowments policies since 2011.  The larger payout started from 2022, paying me ~$38k p.a. about $3k p.m. till age 84. 2. Think it is enough from this Endowment Tap. ~~~ Stock Tap 3. Separately I have also built up my Dividend/Trading income through Stocks, local n foreign.  To-date, this equity stream gives me ~$50k p.a. 4. Now I will be focussing on building up this portfolio.  My next Chapter is to focus more on local stocks; bank & REITS. I am aiming to SINGLY achieve a dividend payout of $5k ~ $6k p.m. before I retire. ($60k to $70k p.a.) 5. So, what are my key stocks holding to-date? - VENT, Maybank, MPACT, LION-PHILIPS S-Reit, GLI, CDG. 6. Someone once told me that he bought an assortment of stocks to spread out the risk from a particular sector.   Lol. He might as well buy STI-ETF. But then, it's dividend is only a pale 4% p.a. at best.   Sharing... 7. One guru who built up his ...
