Started off my wealth accumulation late because I had to pay back uni study loan for my first 2 years of working. Feel a bit behind my peers whose parents paid for their uni sch fees

Female 24/yr old

Cash holdings: $350k
Stocks: $40k
Income: 3k

I’ve recently had some family inheritance and wondering how I can leverage on stocks with my cash holdings or if I should buy a property with it.

Husband 38 years old /wife 39 years old
Combine income: S$300k/annum

Stocks S$1.6m
Cash S$0.2m
CPA OA - NIL
CPA SA combined S$200k
HDB S$760k (fully paid)

Term plan: S$1m each
Husband: S$0.1m life insurance

Happy problem next:
Option 1) buy condo? => Work your ass off for next 10 years and don't even know whether there is any high pay job left
Option 2) sell HDB and get BTO since husband may be out of job soon then lepak lepak=> become full time stay home dad, life is good, play PS4/5

Now am coming 38...

Took a 15 mths of career break since early 2017
for some personal reasons.

Realize that unnecessary expenses actually go down when not working - we have no kids
and mthly expenses about 4K+ combined, only debt is housing paid entirely using cpf OA mthly.

Back to workforce soon & thankful able
to fetch similar salary.

With our low combined networth near to 1mil, ( really pale in comparison with most posts) we will continue work on it by saving most of salary & buy growth stocks using bonus or comms.

Striving to continue to live simple and work towards achieving financial freedom (I hope).

Some questions to start if you don't mind:

- How did you go about finding out these properties are up for sale? Or was this built from ground up etc?
- Are there any pitfalls here that you could share? There are plenty of residential property investment stories here and i'd love to hear more about the non-resi ones.

thanks man

Sure man, sorry lag as I just saw this. No ABSD on this. AV taxes is approx 1 month rent. I found these by hunting man because residential was too hot for me to afford. Pitfalls? I learnt that whatever property you buy, it is not liquid assets.
