EPF, ASB, and ASM take one year to generate 5-6% returns.

It’s safe, stable, and consistent.

But if you want to retire earlier (or more comfortably), you have to explore different assets to maximize your returns.

Let me explain. 🧵Image
1. Assuming your investments generate ~5% per year, it will take about 14.4 years for your current funds to double.

This is a LOONG TIME.Image
2. But if you increased your returns by 2%, the time taken to double your funds reduces to 10.3 years.

That’s 4 years quicker.

And we’re not even talking about extra deposits or investments yet.Image

I read through the 222-page SST document.

Here’s (almost) everything the current govt considers as “non-essentials”.

🧵Image
1. IMPORTED FRUITS

- Apples
- Oranges
- Starfruit
- Ciku
- Lemons
- Rambutans
- Jackfruit
- Longans
- Papayas

As long the fruit is imported, it will be taxed, regardless of whether its counterpart is locally produced. Image
Image
2. Almost ALL cooking oils (except palm oil):

- Corn oil
- Olive oil
- Coconut oil
- Sesame seed oil
-Rapeseed (Canola) oil
- Any other oils (vegetable or animal based) Image

I went to Kyoto and Osaka for 9 days.

These are the travel tips I wish I knew.

🧵Image
Image
1. Book a hotel that’s within walking distance of the subway station.

Don’t hesitate to spend a bit more for a comfortable and spacious room.

An extra 30 sq ft means A LOT, especially when you’re carrying big luggage.
2. LEGROOM for flights is important!

The travel time is about 7 hours, so try selecting spacious seats.

For me, I booked MAS' premium economy and chose the front-most row.

The flight was RM5,925 for two people, thru and fro.

Expensive, but well worth it. 💯Image

It’s not just Nasi Lemak.

White Rice: +73.7%
Chicken Satay: +113.7%
Roti Canai: +71.1%
Beef Meat: +98.6%
Cockles: +400.3%
Big Onion: 139.4%

1. Meanwhile, the reported national inflation rate during this period (2011-2024) was 28.7%.

The annual average was 2.05%. Image
2. But the national inflation rate tracks a wide basket of goods and services.

For a more accurate comparison, we have to look into the inflation rate of Food & Beverages.

In this case, the group experienced a 47.9% increase in the past 14 years, averaging 3.42% per year. Image

What are tariffs anyway?

And what does Trump aim to do with them?

If you have no clue of what’s happening and how it will impact you, read on to understand more.

🧵
1. Tariffs are a tax placed on foreign goods entering the country.

They are usually implemented to protect local producers and strengthen domestic supply chains.

This is why buying local stuff is (usually) cheaper than imported goods.Image
2. Who pays these tariffs?

The companies that import foreign goods into the country will have to pay the tax.

However, these companies can choose to

• pass some (if not all) of the cost to consumers, OR

• import fewer goods.
