Financial Independence, Retire Early (FIRE) has become a popular goal for many seeking freedom from the traditional 9-to-5 grind. However, recent data suggests that achieving financial independence isn't just about saving aggressively—it's also about navigating financial risks wisely. In the first half of 2024, applications for bankruptcy in Singapore surged by 25%, with 2,334 people filing for bankruptcy and 594 individuals being declared bankrupt, an 11% increase from the previous year. This sharp rise highlights the importance of careful financial planning, particularly when aspiring to achieve FIRE. The consequences of bankruptcy can be severe, including job loss and restricted opportunities, making it crucial to avoid such pitfalls. Bankruptcy should always be a last resort, particula

👳🏾‍♀️ My GURU, a financial planner’s advice is to allocate 5% of my monthly income to trading. That literally is money i put aside for savings after i spent on essential expenses such as housing, food, transportation, health care, allowances for my loved ones, entertainment and short-term savings. I do not have big budget to trade so i have to do my due diligence before every trade. I have been able to grow this money to hedge against inflation so believe in him. Thanks @Tiger_comments [Happy]

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

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

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.
