About Me: Traveling-Investor
As I am inspired by the likes of Ray Dalio and Jim Rogers, I decided to document some of the principles that guided me and my experiences that had led me to where I am today.
I have always reserved a strong belief that sharing information or general advice should be FREE, rather than like the paid "tainted" investment advice that phony financial advisers offer. In my previous life, I had the luxury to work with financial advisers so I know how they generally behave and act.
During the 1980s, as a son to new immigrants in Australia and had the privilege to be born and raised in this gifted country. My parents were poor upon arrival and had nothing. They met and got married, and then had me the following year. Throughout my years from age 0 to 5, I was not taught the English language as my parents spoke their own language and taught me just that and even today, they are still very poor in the English language. I started to enter kindergarten at the age of 5 and only then I was taught English and throughout my schooling years.
Key principles:
1. Distinguish between a "need" and a "want"
2. The power of "compound interest"
3. Learn how to do it tough (esp. start from the bottom and then move up).
4. The risk-reward profile
5. When you are in your "teens", save money (when you are young)
6. When you are in your 20s, start investing
7. When you are in your 30s, focus on what you want to do in life (excluding occupation)
8. Work out what you can cut (costs or bad habits) and what you can't
9. Its all about effective cash-flow management
10. To get ahead financially is NOT that hard, focus it in a simple way
11. Do what you are good at
12. Eliminate any barriers, constraints, or emotions in your decision-making process
13. Learn how to be flexible and mobile
14. Always enjoy life and take care of your mental health
15. Sometimes a loss in life is inevitable, but objectively look at ways on how to minimise or stop the losses
16. Always reflect about the past and learn from past mistakes, rather than focus on past glories
17. Openly discuss with a great range of people your ideas or topics rather than that small but the same group of people you associate with
18. Avoid baseless speculation (on asset value appreciation), but focus on yields
19. Properly manage debt levels, rather than focus on tax deductions
