must keep saving and investing lor, really takes time to grow the nest egg
need really 10 years of hard work to hit a 300k portfolio ba
when I was working 2 years in bank, salary 2.5k... take home around 2k
I saved like 1k per month
when playing online poker,
I made around 300k over 8 years
so around 37.5k per year or around 3k per month
my expenses then and now still about the same, 1k expenses per month... so
spend 1k save the balance 2k..and put into stocks
if anyone want to replicate my savings/investing rate... say
a person earnings 3k a month, start work at age 23
spend 1k, save 2k to keep it simple and ignore bonus/cpf
using a calculator, saving 2k per month for 10 years
making 10 % returns on the stock market with it
one should hit 400k portfolio in 10 years!
its very possible, I have done it and I think those who are disciplined should be able to do it too, cheers ^_^
basically if u save 2k a month, 1 year is 24k
10 years is already 240k of savings
the 160k extra is from your investment returns
huat ah $$$$$$$$
IF I CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!
