wow at 40~50% is very good
will you be able to get back to your past income level once you had decided you wanted to stop your current break and restart your working life?
can you be able to get back into working life easily?
how is your "luck" on stock picking (gain/loss) experience in your 12% investment on KLSE (growth and dividend stocks) & 9% on US stocks?
if the luck is not that great and if the expected investment return is not of high...may i suggest that you seek an investment planner to help chart a more holistic investment route and vehicle that suit your risk and expectation.
as i think your monthly saving amount is larger than many of the people here.
Yes, because i'm still living with my parents and i do not want to splurge on a new car, hence the savings. If i'm on my own and i get a new car, i think the most i can save will be 15-20%.
Yes, should be able to get back to the same income level but i can't tell how soon with all the unemployment rates now. I am already applying for jobs and going for interviews though. This investment plan will only resume only i start working.
Last year it was all about dividends for the stocks, this year i took some risks with glove stocks. Some are gains, some are losses but i hope to sell some once it reaches my profit margin.
US stocks were employee share option from my previous company and i just let it accumulate. The dividends are reinvested back into the shares even after i've left the company, so it's still ok. Probably once it touches a good price in a few years to come, i will sell it.
You're probably right, an investment planner can provide a better direction.
