The Big WHY

Image
Many people would ask, why invest and risk losing money when I could save it all and one day have enough to survive? Common misconceptions by our parents and perhaps friends, would be that investing is akin to gambling and I quote : “Don’t burn your fingers in stocks!” “Investing? Same as going to MBS what…” “ If can make money, everyone also go invest what” But hey, haters stay hatin’ right? In a conformist and conservative society like Singapore, people say this because they are defensive towards an idea or concept they do not understand and wish to stay in their bubble where they feel safe and protected.  Financial literacy  and  ambition  will allow you to break out of this thought and give you the courage to stand up for yourself and tell them : “I want a better future for myself and get out of the rat race! No more sleepless nights over the fear of losing my job!” With that in mind, let me give you some facts which you can graciously bestow upon the lesser naysay

When you have nothing left but money

Recently, a close friend of mine shared a video with me which caused me to really reflect and change how I envisioned my life, when I make it big in the stock markets.

I would like you to watch this inspiring video of a man that once thought he had it all, lost it all and found a new perspective on life through his journey. Sometimes we get so consumed with improving our financial situation and gaining traction in our career, but pause to think, time does not stop for you to achieve succ

Crowdfunding. Yay or Nay?

Image
Hey guys, In my first blogpost, I am going to share my experience with crowdfunding with you! For those who aren’t familiar with the concept, Crowdfunding  is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising monetary contributions from a large number of people.  Crowdfunding  is a form of crowdsourcing and of alternative finance. In 2015, it was estimated that worldwide over US$34 billion was raised this way. I have personally invested through MoolahSense , a “Leading P2P lending platform” in Singapore. In Nov 2015, I invested a sum of money in a company called Jova Marine Services that had a healthy balance sheet, growing P&L statements and most importantly, promised 20%p.a. return in a year via monthly repayments. ( Sounds amazing right?) . But no. In the initial period, Jova made good on it’s loan, communicated with investors and was punctual with the repayment schedule and yeah, investors were smiling and everyone was havin’ a jolly good time! Then b
