How I Retired at 31 in Singapore
Investment Journey
The author's journey to financial independence began after losing over $300,000 in the 2020-2021 bull run due to irresponsible investing in penny stocks.
His asset allocation consists of 30% growth products (US stocks, indexes, penny stocks, crypto), 45% dividend stocks (SG Blue chips, REITs, US stocks), and 25% fixed income and saving accounts.
Passive Income and Expenses
The author's investment strategy generates a passive income of over $3,000 per month, covering his fixed recurring expenses such as a $1,000 monthly allowance to parents and $571 insurance payments.
His monthly expenses also include $700ish income tax and a $589 car installment, all manageable through his passive income stream.
Financial Goals
The author's financial goals include reaching a net worth of $1 million by early to mid-2025 and maintaining at least $200,000 in liquid cash, with the latter already achieved.
Lifestyle and Philosophy
Achieving financial independence is supported by his focus on intentional living, discipline, and understanding retirement, along with building a sustainable retirement nest through compounding and a disciplined investment system.
