Financial life after Cancer

This is not a very good week for me. First, I had cold and cough with sore throat. I went on 2 days medical leave as a result. It was a good rest through.  During the 2 days medical leave, I was told by my financial agent that both Multi-Sector Income Fund and US Growth and Income Fund no longer accept single premium top up which I had been doing for a couple of months. This meant I could no longer reinvest my dividends into this two accounts. I took the medical leave to do some research and reflection on my strategy. My Pimco Income Fund currently was still less than half the size of both my Multi-sector and US Growth and Income Fund. My plan is to reinvest all my dividends and spare cash into Pimco Income Fund till it reaches the size of about $100k. Then through the three income funds, I will quickly move on to grow my fourth and fifth income fund. By the time all my income fund grow completely, I would be in a prime position for an early retirement. I went for my first ultra so...

 Dear all,  We are in the mid of Mar 2025. I hope that everyone is doing well in term of health and investment. Work had been really stressful while health is having some concerns especially when the annual health report. I have fatty liver and slight high blood pressure. So what it essentially meant is that beside taking care of my own investment. I will have to take care of my health as well.   I am walking as much as possible in the work day. To increase my own exercise intake, I would sweep and mop the floor everyday. Hopefully it can help me to reduce my calories. During the weekends, we will motivate ourselves by going out to slightly further away food court to eat by walking to and fro. This would hopefully keep our fatty liver out. Today is 15 Mar 2026. In another 2 weeks, the first quarter of 2025 will end. For those of you out there, I hope that you had achieved your investment target this quarter. If not, we still have another 2 weeks to make things work out....

 Dear all,  After waiting for more than a week, I did a verification with the fund helpdesk. They confirmed that my Multi-Sector Income Fund monthly payout is on the way. Yesterday, all my monthly payouts are fully accounted for.  Monthly Payout (Feb 2025) Multi-Industry Income Fund Dividend - $516.82 US Income and Growth Fund Dividend - $521.68 SYFE Pimco Income Fund Dividend - $23.19   Total payout for Feb - $ 1,061.69 There was an increase of the dividends due to the first dividend payment from SYFE. In the next month, we will expect a very slight increase of the dividend from US Income and Growth Fund as well as SYFE Pimco Dividend payout as there are a slight increase in the investment in US Income and Growth as well as a consolidation of the other fund incomes to SYFE Pimco Income Fund. With the dividends received from the funds, I will likely to re-invest them into the Multi-Sector Income Fund to increase my dividends from it.  P.s. Not a financial advic...

 We are at the tail end of Feb 2025. This is usually a very short month of the year. I am still waiting for my Multi-Sector Income fund dividend. Again this is a short month so the income dividend could come in later. I had almost double my investment on Pimco Income Fund after my consolidation, FTX money back, and a few hundred more from saving, they shown that my Pimco Income dividend was estimated to be around $600 a year or $50 a month.   Since my Feb dividend income not all in yet, I will provide an update maybe next week.

Dear all, A few years ago, the price of old Luna cryptocurrency due to the mismanagement of its founder collapsed rapidly. From $80 plus dollars, it dropped to several cents. I remembered that it was in the middle of the night when it happened. Jeremy happened to be awake at the same time. Wasted no time, we developed the speculation strategies and put it into action. Over the duration of 2 days, we managed to gain a few thousand dollars.  We stopped after our crypto platform which had low risk appetite and terrible reaction time, decided to suspend all Luna trading. By then, we had already left with a couple of millions Luna with all our profits in hard cash.  This is where the direction of Jeremy and my own split. I searched for another platform in hope that I could go in another round of speculation. To do that I had targeted two platform for the speculation, FTX or Crypto.com. In the end I chosen FTX as my country sovereign fund invested in the platform as well. Fast forwa...

Dear all,  With the dividends received in January, I was told that it will take about a month to register my interest to increase my investment by $1,200. By the time, I was given the clearance to make payment, easily a month is over. But I guess that I have no choice given how the dividends all came in at different time period. Unless based on the declaration, I make a move to reinvest these dividends back to their pots. Of course, I can choose the reinvestment option instead of giving cash dividend but I would not be able to know how much dividends I am given.  At this point, I will wait and see how I could push for the reinvestment in a more efficient manner.    As the FTX settlement against the clients coming to a close soon (A surprise to me as I thought I could never see the amount again), as a client of FTX, me too are able to get my hands on the settlement. While it is about $2K plus USD, I am still glad to get my hands on these assets. My original plan was t...
