How Do You Allocate Your Monthly Budget?

When someone asks what investors spend the most money 💵💵 on each month, it's undoubtedly the stock market. Some say that investors are thrifty in real life, reluctant to spend an extra penny, but they spend lavishly in the stock market. When planning monthly expenses, they allocate just a bit 🤏 for food and put most money into the stock market and banks.

Budget allocation is one of the most important decisions that any investor have to decide at the beginning of the investment journey.  Reason being, without proper allocation of funds, there will be funds for investment. Without funds for investment, how can the investment journey even begin.  I have seen and know of many who profess that they want to learn/start investing. However, after a while they all faded out. A common trend is that, they find it too "difficult". Learning is tough and cutting down on their expenditures, is equally tough. They are used to owning big cars, frequent traveling, owning luxury Watches and bags, going fine dining and comparing with the jones.  Without a set plan to allocate a fixed % monthly for investment, more likely than not, the

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  Dollar-Cost Averaging into Dividends While We Wait: A Measured Approach They say penny-pinching investors transform into big spenders when it comes to the stock market. Maybe there's some truth to that! But hey, who can blame us? The allure of building wealth can be intoxicating. While some go all-in, I'm taking a more measured approach. Think of it as a delicious, slow-roasted investment strategy. Here's the recipe: 20% Allocation: Every month, I dedicate a healthy 20% of my income to stock market investments. This consistency, known as dollar-cost averaging, helps me avoid the perils of market timing. Focus on Dividends: My portfolio leans heavily on dividend-paying stocks like

$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$   As an investor, careful planning and disciplined budgeting are crucial to achieving my financial goals. Here's how I allocate my monthly budget to ensure a balanced and diversified investment portfolio. Assessing Income and Expenses First, I start with a thorough assessment of my income and essential expenses. My goal is to determine how much disposable income I have each month. This involves listing all sources of income and subtracting fixed expenses like rent, utilities, groceries, and insurance. Setting Investment Goals I then set clear investment goals. These goals vary from short-term objectives like saving for a vacation to long-term aspirations such as retirement planning. Defining these goals helps me decide t

【Voting Post】$Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  [How to allocate?] Well this must be an important question for many people including myself. So I'd like to share my humble few cents opinion. [Simple dish] Like a bowl of plain porriage, in my early years, I aimed to achieve the simple golden rule. That was, no matter how bad your situation is, attempt to allocate 10% of your nett monthly income. Yes, if you need to eat more plain porriage, or Cai png, you need to. Cos paying yourself fundamentally is so important. Only after self allocation of 10%, do you then allocate the rest into your needs bucket (food, water, lodging, etc) and then the wants bucket. Of course, that is also assuming that you emergency bucket is full. If not, please fill that up to at least 6 month

Around 50% to 30% of my savings are allocated for investments. Depends on market situations. If market situations are good and too high, I will reduce the investment amount. If the markets are bad, I will increase the investment amount progressively. Sell high buy low🔅
