Hi Sifus, just wanna ask is it possible for me to achieve FI at my 40, aim for passive income of 4k. Currently I'm 29 years old, have 110k in FD, 40k in stocks and 21k in mutual fund etc. I'm able to save 4k per month after deducting my commitment and expenses. Any advice if I'm invest my monthly saving into high dividend stocks? Seem impossible to achieve my target in my age 40 right?

Any property that generates passive income?

4k/month translates to RM 1.6M in FD (assuming 3% p.a.). Need to strategize to make your cash/assets worth RM1.6M in 11 years. Seems possible, but need to invest more to generate better returns, and combine with dividends from stocks maybe.

And by the way, for discussions with FD interest, we should be bear in mind that future FD rates just will not be at 3%, it is getting lower, let alone BNM is expected to further lower 25 points by Dec 2019. So when calculating for interest from FD in future, I will tend to be more conservative.

Yeah. The fd rate might be another drop which might below 3%. Like you say, I'm would try to focus and buy some good dividends stock instead of saving in FD. Bought a house but still expenses as monthly commitment. Thanks bro for your advice.

you are now 29, target is 40, thus 11 yrs to go.
you have 110k in FD,
40k in stocks and
21k in mutual fund
fresh saving RM4000 pm....

unknown to your monthly required expenses,...just try to reduce the FD of 110k to 6 months of yr expenses, use the surplus to put into stocks.
as for the RM4k pm,...If you have parents, try to put all that into their EPF a/c.....under self contribution

I don't suggest putting MORE in FD to generate passive income...for the amount required is too big to generate sufficient amount and returns is too low to be effective for a 11 yrs time frame

I would consider to use my monthly saving to purchase some reits and stocks with 5-6% annual return, hope can getting more nearer to my target by compound interest within this 11 years. Thanks bro for your kind sharing on financial.

Assuming 4% inflation and 7% investment return, you should get c. RM1.2 mil by 40 yo, but that can only last you until c. 60 yo before you dried up you money.
Keep working until 45 yo then then you can extend that to 77 yo.

But mind you, 7% consistent investment return is not easy, and you need to factor in extra for medical expenses when you are old. Medical cost goes up for way more than 4% per annum.

Yeah. Definitely not easy for 7% return. Thanks for your insight. 😁
