It is never too late. Remember the saying "Better late than never"
Over 40 you are at your peak in career and earning. Try to put more money aside and invest smartly.

The first step is alway difficult as you get the hang of it. Then it will be smooth sailing.

You are welcome. We never stop learning, alway look better way to manage risk and improve our yield.

We can only make inform decision and plan accordingly. But ultimately up there who is the one that determine the outcome loh

Don't worry Bro, just share the facts and let other do their due diligence. Alway backup with fact so everybody know exactly what they are getting into.
