Rule of 72

Simple but yet powerful. A rule that provide the estimated time to reach your goal.

If an investment provide a regular return of 10% per annum and you reinvested that return, it will take 7.2 years to double your initial investment.

How? 72 divided 10% p.a. = 7.2 years

There are bank and shares paying dividends like 15 - 20 % p.a. Find them and put your money there...practically every ~ 5 years you double your initial investment!

Alternatively, reversing the equation give the rate of investment return required for specified number of years to double the initial investment.

How? 72 divided 5 years = 14.4%

Chance favour the prepared mind -- Louis Pasteur

PLAN

If you are an employee, sure you have heard about plan, or at least the word budget. Why companies have a department just to do that all year long? Simply because they need to know where they are going and putting all the efforts and resources towards that goal.

Go on, take few days, live, dream and attempt to answers those questions. The answers lies inside YOU.
My knowledge sharing will assist you with to answer the last question, insyallah.

If you don't design your own life plan, chances are you'll fall into someone else's plan.

Courage to change

Yesterday I encountered a friend who has been working for almost 10 years. Married with 3 kids. We were discussing about her early retirement from works for many, many occasion. Taking the step out is very painful but she finally managed to pull it through. Congrats - You finally have the courage to do it.

Sometimes you does not have the means to do it, i.e. you practically depends on that monthly income to go on. But my friends is the one who relatively has the means but yet does not have the courage to do it.

If you think you does not have the means to do it, have the courage to change that! That is your first big steps.

Journey of a thousand miles start with the first step.

Most of the knowledge sharing will be around the topics of personal investment for anyone. Normal person earning a decent living but soon getting tired of your daily routine and ask when does this will end? Of course when you passed away, but then, do you want that?

"I work, my husband work. Back at home, I attend to the kids. Tomorrow we are out to work again, back home, the kids is sick, aiyoh....can I stay at home, can I afford to stay at home, thousands questions flowing in my mind...and I feel..."

Life meant to be simple, easy and to be lived to its fullest! Do you want that or you wish or need it?

Courage is a door that can only be opened from the inside.

Today world is a relatively mean world. If you a weak, you'll be a victim. If you are poor, you'll be at someone mercy.
