I only started to save a little when i was 30 years old (but then my first child arrived :p).<br /><br />I think i only had abt 3k when i started to invest 6 years ago. <br /><br />Then i selected the correct stock and my investment grows to be closer to 400k now (my profit is abt 250k). I am 37 years now. Hope i can continue to do better!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240023240239546652.post-31022076710496425792017-05-21T01:23:48.202+08:002017-05-21T01:23:48.202+08:00Hi Farmer,

Just go for investment-grade bonds, SSBs and higher-interest savings accounts. Unless you want to retire at 35 or 40, haha.<br /><br />I have older colleagues who are also quite thrifty and can save 60-70% of their take-home pay. No need to invest. Well, they just invest in FDs, haha.
