I always wonder how can one acheive your first $100,000 let alone your first million. I recently met a fanancial guru and he shared with me this.

Pay Yourself First. This is the No. 1 rule/step to Riches.

Pay yourself literally means putting aside a fixed amount to your savings account. Take for example, every month you need to pay your credit cards, your house loan etc, let your savings account be the first that you should paid to every month. This should help you to accumulate some wealth.

After one has savings, the next step is make your money Grow through investing in Singapore stocks and property. However be very careful or else you get burnt. Always study the potential of the stocks and property through reseach of professional advise. Never be in a hurry to jump into any.

I hope i can start to accumulate my first $100,000 through this theory in the next 4 years.

hi eilleenlim,

i was just sharing on another thread about savings. in singapore, we are basically feeding from hand to mouth, let alone savings enough. i'm not saying it can't be done but minimal. we must really forego alot in leisure and only spent on necessity in order to be able to put a substaintial amount in our savinds account. i have been working for almost 10 years and i hardly got any savings but thank god i have a hubby who earns quite a bit. i started to save now putting aside about $250 a month but how long more to go before we can see our first $100,000.

I am not a strong believable of saving - cause you put your money in the bank you get miserable interest.

It is good to have what i call spare cash, that i do not call it saving. Putting aside some $50,000 spare in the bank is good.

I believe in wise investment. A good investment has a return of between 10 to 20% per annum.

Alamak JuJu, cannot just save $250 a month la. I think you should get your hb to saving at least 20% of income. Monthly instalments, towards house, car etc should not be more than 50% of income. Say for income of 5K, 30% is $1500 which is enough to feed a family of four liao lor. So can still save 20% right? And instead of 30+ years to save $100K, it now just takes 8 years ;)

playing with stock is risky but pretty fun is u have money to spare. if u do it right, u may very well surpass the 100,000 threshold. keep your mind on it and its very possible

Me too! I agree with most of the things you all say...firstly, it's so hard to accumulate a significant amount of money if we save only few hundred a month...i also agree, we need to pay ourselves first...the problem is i can't make my money grow fast enuf...sad-ed:(

I believe they say we must grow our passive income...aka money that is still earning even when we're sleeping...

Good luck Eileenlim, if you have good tips or good conferences to go, share with us ya! :)

i have a savings policy with AIA and i'm thinking of taking it out. it is a 21 years saving plans and this year will be my 14 years. do you think it's advisable to take it out and put it in somewhere else where i can yield more profits?
