Are you one of them?

Posted on by careyourpresent

There are so many things in life which are full of uncertainty.

Yet, many live in fear about future, keep accumulate more and more wealth so that in future they felt secured. But how much is really enough? Greed has no end; fear has no reasons. In the meantime, they forgot to live in present, care their present.

Many people in their relentless pursue of wealth, sacrificed many important things (family, time, health, passion etc) to them during the journey. Are you one of them? Many people lived as though that they will never die.

Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

Dalai Lama XIV

R.I.P.

No matter how rich you are. Everyone goes to the same end route. Hence, make your life beautiful now, you never know when your last moment is.

Do you want to become the above?

Do you think you still have enough energy, health to spend the money OR

someone dearest to you who are willing to spend lots of time to you while you are an old man / old woman?


Life is a cycle.

Some of the famous quotes, let me list few that caught my eyes.

You don’t have a lot of envy, you don’t have a lot of resentment, you don’t overspend your income, you stay cheerful in spite of your troubles, you deal with reliable people and you do what you’re supposed to do. All these simple rules work so well to make your life better.” — 2019 CNBC interview

“The world is full of foolish gamblers and they will not do as well as the patient investors.” — 2018 Weekly in Stocks interview

“It takes character to sit with all that cash and to do nothing. I didn’t get to be where I am by going after mediocre opportunities.” — Poor Charlie’s Almanack

On investment -> Latest SSB – SBDEC23 GX23120Z

I have applied for the latest SSB as mentioned in this post (PSA: Highest Yield Singapore Saving Bonds for this month).

Sadly, but as expected, it was oversubscribed. Although I have applied 30k + 30k (with spouse), I only managed to get 20k, total 40k with my spouse. With this application, I am almost at the 200k limit for me and my spouse.

Reminder:

“It takes character to sit with all that cash and to do nothing. I didn’t get to be where I am by going after mediocre opportunities.” — Poor Charlie’s Almanack

Life

Back to life, one of the dearest members of my family were dead two days ago. No matter how small life is, it is still life, especially those holds great meaning to us.
R.I.P.

It the end, everything will become just a piece of decaying meatball.

Treasure what you have now. Live with no regret daily.

Good articles that you should read!

People are drawn to dividend investing.

Why? Firstly, dividends provide a regular stream of income, allowing investors to receive a portion of the company’s profits on a periodic basis. This can be particularly attractive for individuals seeking consistent cash flow or looking to supplement their existing income. Additionally, dividend investing is often viewed as a more stable and predictable investment strategy compared to relying solely on capital appreciation.

I always write and share articles, especially on dividends which many people love them. Do read them!

Alternatively, you can go the right side of my page, there is a search bar where you can simply search “dividend” to see all my articles related to dividends!

Of course, you can search for other things that would interest you such as “Careyourpresent”, “Reits”, “Side Hustles”, “Fixed Incomes”, “Savings” etc.

CAREYOURPRESENT

Money just buy you the chance of freedom.

When you are young and working, you exchange time for money. When you are old, you can have lots of money but you can’t buy time back, especially the things that you have missed while busying striking out in career. Of course, if you love your career, and consciously know that you are missing out the first time your child walk or talk, that’s ok, but if you are the other spectrum, please do something about it.

Your kids grew up and they no longer need you to accompany them. They no longer want to sit on your lap to share/do things with you…all these time you spent in your 9 to 6 or even longer cubicles…can the money that you have earned by you back these?

We always thought we have more time with our old parents, but we are wrong. Time with them is ticking away every day. One day it will suddenly be gone. There is no regret medicine, no reset in time. Gone is gone and cannot come back. No matter you are billionaires or millionaires, you cannot reset this.

We always thought that we have more time with our spouse every day, but we are wrong. One day they will be gone too. When you read this, please go tell your spouse that you love him/her and he or she is the best thing that you ever had in your life.

I have picked out some of the more life reflecting articles of the CAREYOURPRESENT series. Do read them:

Love your life daily.

You have one less day with your spouse, parents, children and yourself.

Time is ticking away.

For each passing day,

Enjoy and Treasure your Life!
