My retirement goal is S$1.5-2million. S$550K is way too little. I recall the figure floating around has been S$1million for a long time. So, S$550K comes as a surprise. I think 3K per month is ideal. This would help to account for basic expenses, hobbies to spend time meaningfully with and also for travelling. This is also to account for the scary inflation. I save/ invest at least 30% of my salary to try to beat inflation. I think I am currently on track with my savings and investment to reach my target amount. Importantly, I try to ensure that while I try to have a good quality of life, I do not have overt lifestyle inflation and steward my money to have the maximal sum for retirement. It is always better to have more than less but also important to have a certain quality of life

My Thoughts on Grab Stock: A Deep Dive into Valuation, Risk, and Opportunity
$Grab Holdings(GRAB)$ Let me share my latest thoughts on Grab Holdings—a company that has quietly but consistently stayed on my radar for some time. Broadly speaking, I remain constructive on the long-term investment case for Grab. While it may not be the flashiest name in tech anymore, I think it represents a compelling opportunity within the broader Southeast Asian growth narrative. There are multiple elements within its business model that align well with what I typically look for when evaluating companies for a long-duration portfolio—things like founder-led leadership, strong balance sheet, growing cash flows, a durable moat, and exposure to secular tailwinds. That being said, before I make any serious allocation decision, I always run a comp
Microsoft’s Meteoric Rise: Will Meta Be the Next Tech Titan to Soar?
The stock market in 2025 is a battleground of innovation and momentum, with tech giants like Microsoft ( $Microsoft(MSFT)$ ) and Meta Platforms ( $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ ) leading the charge. Microsoft has been on an unstoppable tear, hitting a new all-time high of $478.87 on June 12, 2025, after a Q1 earnings beat that sparked a 7.6% single-day surge.

With Meta’s stock just 7.2% shy of its February 2025 peak, investors are asking: will Meta be the next to set a new high, and should they jump on Microsoft’s wagon? This report dives into the drivers,
The Financial Reckoning Is Near: What Gundlach, Jones, and Chanos Just Told Us
$S&P 500(.SPX)$ In a recent high-level Bloomberg conference, three of Wall Street’s most seasoned voices—Jeffrey Gundlach, Paul Tudor Jones, and Jim Chanos—shared unfiltered views on what’s next for the global economy, interest rates, and financial markets. Together, their commentary forms a compelling mosaic of risk, inflation, and strategic positioning as the market enters what many believe to be the final innings of a prolonged speculative cycle. Gundlach: The U.S. Bond Market Is a Ticking Time Bomb Jeffrey Gundlach, often called the "Bond King," emphasized one central contradiction: while the Fed is pivoting toward interest rate cuts, long-term Treasury yields are rising, not falling. That’s a red flag. The market is sniffing out deeper st
