SmartPera was invited to speak at PICPA Singapore last Saturday.
PICPA Singapore - Philippine Institute of Certified Public Accountants is the professional community of Filipino CPAs and finance professionals in Singapore. Sharp people. Serious professionals.
Three lessons that hit hard:
There is no secret to investing. Consistency beats complexity. Every time.
Waiting 10 years costs you SGD 633,000 at retirement. Time is the only unfair advantage.
Retirement is not 65. It is the day your investment income covers your life.
I have shown 2 SmartPera tools -the Retirement Calculator and the Budgeting App to put the lessons into action immediately.
Because knowledge without a system is just motivation that fades.
If you are a Filipino professional in Singapore and you have not run your retirement number yet, do it tonight.
