However I do agree with your idea of passive income. Just that houses are expensive for this route nowadays. |

I'm a singaporean based in the US too. Just started working here. Are you planning to get a green card? If i'm not planning to get one, would you still recommend taking advantage of the 401k, IRA etc.? Right now I'm close to maximizing my first year Roth IRA contribution, and am wondering whether I should plough more money into my 401k. At present I'm contribution 12%, split half and half between traditional and roth, but am looking to increase that to 16%. Would you recommend traditional or roth or neither? Thanks. Singaporean in Boston. |

Hi, I am posting anonymously but I would like any constructive advice from any of you, not necessarily in financial planning. I will appreciate a tip or two from men around my age or older on how to manage my life from this point onwards. My wife and I are in our mid 40s.
Assets - 3 private properties (includes the one we live in) worth about $4.5M, 2 totally paid up and one with a $1M mortgage outstanding - $1M in the bank and some stocks - 2 simple cars with no or minimal loans - Nett business income $1M-$1.5M a year after tax - 2 boys still in primary school, doing above average - I would like to send them abroad to study mainly for the more global exposure We have no expensive hobbies, no parties or horse riding or watches or wines. We eat mostly at home or at coffeeshops and sometimes at a cafe. Almost no one knows how much we make because we dress very simply and do not talk about money very much. If you are posting in response to me, please address your post to MeePokMan. Grateful for your time. : ) |
