Been 20+years of mom passing away. Can no longer remember her voice or how her food tasted. Have some memories of her but they too seem to be fast fading... Few photographs of old times are all that I have now. This is exactly what I dreaded. Grief comes in waves.... ๐Ÿ’”

Normally, it takes min 4-5 years to build up a decently well diversified portfolio to start seeing returns. Post that even after averaging up portfolio drawdowns happen from ATH. The entire portfolio doesn't turn negative! If you don't understand this stick to Index funds.

@dmuthuk I wish the newbies realise this . Many earned money on junk stocks & feel they are masters of market . In reality 12-15% CAGR would be more realistic. Ideal to use this windfall money to clear off debts , buy proper insurance & as seed money for quality investing.

Don't aim for job security. It would never happen. Aim for financial security. It is in your control and you can make it happen.

@dmuthuk True :)) When I lowered my expectations, I found my returns were way more in the LT. It ensured that I did nothing stupid like chasing ๐Ÿ”ฅ stocks in the quest to earn 25%returns & instead focused on โฌ†๏ธCapital Invested steadily. Or in the words of Charlie Munger ๐Ÿ‘‡

Since many DM, Yes , dad is FI since long. No. I am not FI yet but in a good place.(God has been kind) ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™ I am building my own corpus & my father is not my ATM. The same shall be for the next generation. IMHO, only through hardship does one learn to value & respect money.

1/10 We 80's kids are truly blessed. Life was simple then ! We used to play until we were screamed at to return home. We enjoyed our childhood without mobile phones & WIFI by playing a wide variety of games which improved our hand eye coordination,stamina & focus. #Nostalgia

1/8 Often hear salaried people complaining about volatility being the reason they stay away from markets . IMHO I feel #volatility is not risk . It's actually an opportunity to be capitalised upon sensibly . ( T&C being applicable as always*) A few pointers on the same.
