      $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  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

Here's how I allocate my monthly budget to ensure a balanced and diversified investment portfolio.

      $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  [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🔅

      Every month, we get some money from varies things that we do. For most of us, it will be in the form of salary or wage. As an average working adult in Singapore, one of the most expensive countries, we always find ourselves struggling with keep up with bills, food, entertainment and other necessities. I used to manage my money by writing down what I spend on and how much I save. But as work started to pile up, this became almost impossible to keep up with. What I do now is to pay my bills and other necessities. Whatever cash I have remaining is for me to use as I please. The only reason I can do this, is because I know myself well and I don't splurge at every given moment or opportunity. So far, this plan has been working out well for me because it gives me more confidence in investing mon

      How much of your budget do you allocate to trading?

      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.I heard that a friend remains calm when his stock account fluctuates tens of thousands of dollars overnight. In real life, if he wants to buy a $50 chair, he hesitates and thinks it’s a little bit expensive. $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ How do you allocate your monthly budget?

      $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  In my early working years, I forced myself to invest more than 50% of my income. Internet and investment platforms such as Tiger brokers wasn't available so I went through the banks' ILPs. My idea at that point in time was that I can't touch the money in ILP so it acted as a forced savings for me. I had 3 ILPs with varying maturities and varying amounts. At one point I was investing 1k sgd a month, leaving only 400 for daily expenses.  10 years after I started the ILPs and maturities, I realized that the fees in the ILPs ate up a lot of the returns. However, in hindsight, I did have a good amount saved up through this method. After that and through a lot of trial and error, I have revamped my budgeting and inv

      $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$  The ideal allocation of a monthly budget varies depending on individual circumstances, but a common guideline is the 50/30/20 rule: - 50% for necessary expenses (needs): - Rent - Utilities (electricity, water, internet) - Food - Transportation - 30% for discretionary spending (wants): - Entertainment (dining out, movies, hobbies) - Personal expenses (clothing, accessories, gadgets) - Travel - 20% for saving and debt repayment: - Emergency fund - Retirement savings - Paying off high-interest debt (credit cards, personal loans) However, this is just a rough guideline, and the right allocation for you will depend on your individual circumstances. For example: - If you have high-interest debt, you may want to all

      $Tiger Brokers(TIGR)$ Expenditure is simple. Spend only what you earn. You don't spend your capital. It reminds me if the children story of The Goose That Laid Golden Eggs. In that story the farmer cut open the goose in search of more eggs. Alas the goose died and no more golden eggs for the farmer. For the investor, we need to preserve our capital and even grow it. We shouldn't be spending our capital otherwise it will be like the proverbial golden egg goose all over again. Thanks for reading[Surprised]
