sometimes i think do my OLD MUMMY method. FD and fixed income . slowly but surely might just do the trick.
Capital forever conserve. We can educate and say NOT INFLATION hedge. $$$ not growing blah blah
but i see her.. every month just
take FD interest cukup for her lifestyle. vs try to invest here there everywhere.. long run i think come up to the same. Win some lose some
Just chase FIXED INCOME and FD return enough
Either your mom is super frugal or she's a millionaire...
Assuming you're around my age (based on your username (19)88?), I think you should have a portion of money rolling for at least a decade to accumulate for your retirement, on top of your liquid emergency funds.
That makes EPF a viable option, and/or DIY index-based ETFs to ride through the short term volatility. I can't say for sure what suits you, maybe if you really cannot stomach any shortfall then low risk fixed income is indeed more suitable for you emotionally.
...I hope I don't sound "arrogant" by implying my risk appetite is greater than yours; my intention is to say everyone walks their own, unique financial journey as it's tightly coupled with personal values, emotions, preferences, circumstances and goals.
