Yep.

I have a friend who will try his level best to order and eat all the dishes on the menu in an ala carte buffet so he won't lugi anything. He even say its stupid not to order all the dishes and eat everything on the menu.

I just laughed it off. :ROFLMAO:
This is a bad analogy.
Financial intelligence vs health stupidity.

I wonder what retired life is like. isn't it very boring nothing to do everyday?

maybe for those who've children or grandchildren... it'll be meaningful but for those singles who don't, are you really aiming to retire early like 55 or 60? even if you can afford to?

that's like 15 to 20 years of doing 'nothing' before kicking the bucket based on average lifespan...

geez... Singapore is so so small even tourists don't stay more than 2, 3 days and get bored already.

most parts of Singapore is fake man-made attractions instead of "nature". even botanic gardens... sorry but I'm not really proud of that being a UNESCO site. it's heaven and earth as compared to say, machu picchu.

anyway, off topic. sorry.

I've young children so will be quite occupied.
Besides i would like to learn new languages. I like to read too.
And travelling.
More importantly nurse my health (high stress job for more than a decade)

Somehow i don't think i will do nothing if i don't want to work for money.

Life is not just about work/career/money.

it is not about full force beating the rest of the people. the point is the blog of this sort people is not worth reading. do you have the power to his level? if you do good, enjoy your reading. the fact is most dont. you already cannot make it and want to exert your lousy half force.
his blog is of no use to most people.

when i first intro tbills to henry, he was condemning like crazy. saying that tbill is a lousy thing. today even a stubborn mule like henry already deployed his 600k. look at the way he haolian that he put all in at 4.4%.

this lousy guy still blissfully collecting his 2.5%. yes, he may good at earning. he is totally hopeless in managing his cpf

. You are not him, you will not know what his plans are, like i said, does not invest does not mean never invest. t-bills only gain traction in recent months when IR goes up. The difference in interest rate between t-bill and putting money in CPF will not enable you to achieve fire bro even if you deploy 1 mil CPF OA. so relax bro.

be slow to condemn Mr optimal. Be quick to Give people the due respect. hopefully you can reach beyond optimal one day. ;)

the rates in oct is 3.7%. yes rates has been rising since. it seems that the people that put in in oct is damn stupid. sorry these people doing much better that your mr fantastic. taking a breakeven of 2.9% for oa. mr fantastic needs an interest of 4.6% the next round to outdo the people that went in in oct because he has been earning lousy rates for so many months. so it is mr fantastic really cannot do maths or totally ignorant that tbillls exist. his blog is worth nothing. come hwz tbills forum, read reddevil first 2 post better than read his trash

i really pity low down people that need to fire to find satisfaction. at my place, almost everyone can fire already. but no one is doing it. lower level beings can never understand this
