since we are in the mood of sharing, I would like to ask if the seniors (nearing retirement) what are the things you regret in life? (eg started investing sooner? or letting greed get the better of you? of do you wish you could have done something in your life but fear of the unknown stopped you?
is there something you can share with us? I'm 29 years old this year and I'm nearing 30. another 11 more years I hit the age of 40. I'm really hoping I can minimize any life mistakes that people tend to make but I am not sure what.
I started to be to aware of proper financial planning method in my mid thirties. Now after ten years I can see small results. I regret that I did not start during my early twenties, immediately when I started working and receiving my first pay - cheque.
Imagine how much better I could have achieve if I had started 15 years earlier than I did.
This brings me back to my earlier mathematical formula stating that ROI matters less than the time you invest. ROI is linearly related to wealth, whereas time invested is exponentially related.
For those who are watching IRR and ROi and whats not, do not be overly obessessed with them for in twenty years time, even a modest return but compounded over a long time will yield good result.
Case in point, I started contributing into AHAM PRS when it started way back in Aug 2012. The first NAV was MYR 0.50 per unit (initial offering). I have since DCA MYR 250.00 per month without fail into PRS by using auto-debit function. Today, the NAV is hovering around MYR 0.59 per unit and that is despite the distribution already occurred?
