Recently I have read this article from 15HWW, he is talking about replacing electronic items in advance but I am thinking about something else…
However, if there are critical electronics that needs replacing, like a fridge, air con unit or even laptops, it’s probably good to do it asap before the shortages really begin. Companies and shops have inventory and the supply chain disruption might not have hit them (yet).
This is something that has been in my mind for the past few months…FOOD for survival.
I am also worry about supply chain disruption/inflation especially with two kids and elder parents. My main worry is FOOD. I can make do without electronics but food is a bit difficult.
I can eat lesser per meal and make do with whatever I can but it is difficult for kids and parents. Food is the most basic for survival. Of course, I am assuming no disruption to water supply in SG, hence I didn’t store mineral water. Or should I?
For me, you can say that I am kiasi, kiasu or whatever, but there is no harm in preparing for it. What I have done so far is to store food. See below…
- Canned food – beans, campbell soup, fruits, mushrooms, vegetarian mock meat (yes, I am vegetarian) etc
- Dried food – mushrooms, fungus, red dates etc
- Stables – rice, flours with yeasts (I have a bread machine for making breads), noodles etc
- Snacks – biscuits, milo, tea, nuts etc
- Freezers – I always fill food to the brim for the freezers
- Buy and consume fresh food first, keep all the above as storage.
Have you prepared for it or also see me as one of the fear mongers? Please share your views in the comments or simply just ignore this email if you think this is too ridiculous.
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!

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.
