    Hello Demi! Thanks for the insightful video. Could you share how your stocks capital jumped from $18k in June to $31k in July? If you still could remember what happen back then.. haha. And also how your bonds + t-bills jumped from $36k in April to $51k in May.

      @@DemiZhuang I see, so is it accurate to say that the main driving factor that helped you achieve $100k was mainly due to your income increase (UA-cam, etc.), and not because of your capital gains and returns in stocks, bonds, and t-bills?

  • @tanliyuanmarcus5939
    @tanliyuanmarcus5939 Рік тому +2

    I think investing early is a nice thing to do, but I will still err on caution of telling people to invest when they are too young. In my uni days, I had seen friends who lost loads of money (-40 to 50%) from the stock crash, and the loss was pretty significant. Investing is a battle of wits, and maybe because I am a stock picker, so I suffered less, by countering and rebalancing my portfolio with more resilient stocks to reduce losses during the downs (~20%). All this comes with experience, but more importantly I believe people should not rush into stocks/indexes blindly without understanding their mindset whether they can take a loss. I would say paper investing is better as it trains the mind to avoid an investment panic sellout.

Bought my 1st private property by placing at 10% deposit (deferred payment scheme) at the age of 23 after hitting my 1st $100k. I bought my 1st HDB at the age of 25 & hit my 1st million too. Bought my 3rd property at the age of 29. Started buying many insurance policies at the age of 30. Started decouping & bought my 4th property at the age of 36. I have recently bought my 5th local property and now just retired at the age of 40 relying on all my investments for income. Jia you!!!
