Financial life after Cancer

Dear all, As I am progressing into the sixth month of my journey, it is becoming increasingly more and more difficult for me in my career. Things are getting more and more tight as we are shorthanded while workload increases. I am feeling the pressure especially with the crazy workload, toxic people, and terrible work culture with an disagreement in the general management direction. I am more than likely to look for a job change and a side income career.     Right now, I am going to make plans on it. Not sure where it would bring me but I am not going to sit around with the additional stress driving in. It is not worth it when I am planning for my eventual retirement.  In term of investment, I will like to think that I am in the right direction. I will need more time to get the dividends and for the dividends with any extra resources to be invested into my portfolio and let it grow. I will give an update on my 1H 2025 investment amount and dividend received once I re...

Dear all,   I am into the fifth month of my investment journey. While things are on a wonderful track and we are exceeding target set in term of investment and returns, there are not so nice things around.   As you can see from the title of my blog post, I am stressed at work. I am currently a risk manager in a transport company in Singapore.

Right now, my corporate work while it can maintain my daily living, it is really stressful and without help in achieving the impossible tasks. There are times that it is so stressful that I can barely have enough sleep. I felt that I did not get enough support and it is taking a toil on my health. I am having hi...

 Dear all,  It had been almost two weeks since I updated the blog. As an income fund investor, I do not have much to update most of the time except to invest my dividends and also the spare cash that I have to have an increase in the monthly dividend.  It was till yesterday that my multi-sector income fund dividend was in. For the month April, all four income funds are paying monthly dividends. April 2025 Dividend Multi-sector Income Fund - $521.77 US Income and Growth Fund - $527.35 SYFE Pimco Fund - $67.71 Trust Income Fund - $5.23 Total Dividend - $1,122.06 For the month of April, we have $27.19 more as dividend when compared to the month of March. We are still a long way from the monthly retirement dividend amount of $6,000. But I am confident that we will be able to improve and close up the gap accordingly. April 2025 investment After 3 months of re-consolidation, for the month of April, the amount invested was $2,535.23. About 50% of the dividend came from dividends...
