AI Future ready. Are you yet onboard?

 AI ready. Are you onboard yet?

For the Senior, we have 500 Skill Future credit of $500 expiring by 31 Dec 25.

In order that this credit not expired, I took leaves from work to attend 2 AI courses; consuming my $500 credit. 

These 2 courses open up takeaway pointers as well as learning new AI skills.

I took 2 AI courses:

- AI Video Creation. It is a 2-day course. I learned photography framing skill, multiple AI tools using ChatGPT, Gemini, Hailou, Suno, Milanote; and their limitations n applications.

The class participants ages from early 30s to 70s retirees. All come with some AI basic knowledge, but after 2 day course, become proficient to generate many Video, Songs n music on their own. Two retirees are still posting their works in the group chat.

- WordPress AI. Web design and publishing. It is also a 2-day course. All retirees and I maybe one of the youngest participants!

From attending this course, I learn / aware of: Web builder posting, Godaddy, Elementor, 10Web, Bolt.new, Replit.com, Grok = chatgpt, Kimi K2, ideogram, kink, Design/Page Builder.

I learn to build my Stock Portfolio page for my Stock investment. Within the weekend, I completed 2 web-pages. And will be planning to build one for my music page.

Instead of running the Google Finance, I now can run my web-page to see all my portfolio real-time.

I created 2 versions: mobile version and tablet version. Let's see if it works well today market monitoring.

These 2 new skills open up many ideas! 

Takeaway:

1. Mindset change to upkeep n catchup skillset literacy.

2. How to "fool-proof" my passive income streams and my children?

Are you AI ready yet ?

How much to cover $1M CI Life?

How much total to cover $1M CI TermLife? Different insurers CI coverage may vary;  - pre-post consultation duration by its Panel doctors,  - early or advanced stage CI  - premium overlay (limited pay or lifetime pay, fixed level or age adjusted cost) - Termlife coverage (accelerated or fixed) - Lifetime or limited age tenure. - in their T&Cs (fine-print). Insurers may not even last our lifetime, even being sold off to another; worse if it closes its biz CI segment. So my opinion is to buy CI through various insurers; better local ones like INCOME, GE Life, Singlife-Aviva.   I am not insurance agent.  But I am familiar with the cost which I paid for.  So allow me to give you some cost estimate to cover $1M in their lifetime over next 60 years! ~~~~~ Someone says CI is good to have.  Should it strikes, your loved ones will suffer to take care of you. CI insurance has to work hand in hand with H&S + 10% Co-Pay Assist to cover As-charged cost....

AIA 20yr endowment payout at 6.6%, can trust?

One of my cohorts shared on his recent NEW endowment policy bought with AIA after 1 Jul 2021. It was his first endowment bought. Jul 2021: Single Premium: $45k paid at age 57 After Year-10,  Projected payout of $1k p.m. (or $12k p.a.) annually every year from Year-11 to Year-20 (at age 67 to 77). ($45k becomes $120k.) I worked it out on the Xirr calculator to be compounded return of 6.6%; wow it is simply too very good to believe. Based on my knowledge, I shared that if, by then, it's actual payout is $750 p.m. or $9k p.a., he should be laughing every month, at 4.6% compounded xirr rate of return; (highly unlikely to get $1k p.m.) While I agree that AIA is one of the best performing fund for past few years, this projected payout is too good to believe. I also shared a similiar 20-year INCOME Revoretire of $60k premium, payout Year-11 to 20 payout of $9.3k p.a. or $93k p.a. ($60k will become $93k) I am not insurance agent.  But I spoke to him with 10-years experience buying 18 ...

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.
