Bought at 27, 26 yo. Save $2K average each monthly (live frugal, no financial commitment), can save $140K after 3 years. Resale condo in 2003 was below $600K.

3. don't waste time with stocks as the market volatility can distract you from your work. keeps lots of cash for the next step below.

4. buy property when recession comes (we did this in 2003, 2009 and 2010, overall realised profit of $1.35M and paper profit of $400K)

so far, the above approach has helped me and my wife build a net worth of about $3M (we are 38 and 37 years old) starting from zero. if we want to, can semi-retire already.

Miami? Why are you making things very complicated for a typical Singaporean?
Please refrain from posting and creating confusion to us Singaporeans. We want to invest in Singapore.

The problem now is that I have literally zero knowledge on investing and finance. I am hoping that someone here is able to guide me as I start my journey into investing. Are there an websites or books that would be strongly recommended? What are the important things that I should look out for when investing? Any investing related advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks alot and appreciate any help!

Well, you need to decide in what kind of invesments are you interested in. Bonds, shares, penny stocks, stocks, hedge funds in singapore etc.. If you can an advisor for hire would be preferable, or you can try some online training and courses.

MarkRYan Nowadays, its hard to invest on something that you do not fully understand. Anyway, real estate could be a great sideline. There's a lot of resource and information that you can find out there. Just google it!
