Retire Rich by Joha

Malaysia is rated by American as one of the 8 best place to retire. It is listed based on a number of criteria such as affordability and quality of life.

Some of the questions used to rate the country or cities are:

- cost of living – a nice sea view apartment in Malaysia can be in the range of $1000 depending on the location. In the big cities the cost can be higher. Many retirees may like like the peace of small town, but it has some disadvantages. Foreigners will find it hard to be accepted.

- Friendly local – Malaysia is a multi-cultural country. So foreigners are not looked upon as suspect, like in USA. There are a large groups of expatriates working for international companies. There are shopping centers for specific national like Japanese and Korean.

- Language – English is widely spoken. You can live in Kuala Lumpur for years without speaking a single local language.

-Retirement benefits – Malaysia is promoting the foreigners to retire in the country. The scheme “Malaysia as your secong home” is crafted for that purpose. Special benefits on the purchase of the properties are given.

The US assessment mentioned that the country is a land of contrast. In some areas, you have the modern sky scrappers with big avenues and well-do -do people. Just under the shadow of the Petronas towers, you can find slums where people are still with water from the wells.

The immigration processes are easy and it is possible to stay with visitors visa.

Surfing the net, you will come across so many suggestions and financial tips for all purposes including the year of 2012. Some suggestions are without any attachments and some may be vehicles to sell some financial goods. These are my view of managing your finance:

Building a strong discipline. I think the personal discipline in the main destroyer of financial management. There are only three areas that we have to manage, the revenue, or our income; the management of expenses; and managing the saving.

The easiest is managing the savings, because it does not require any sacrifice from our side. Compared to managing expenses, which require us to give up something that we enjoy or like, for example, we may be spending large amount of money on cigarettes, to reduce the expenses, we have to give up smoking. A study by academician showed that nations whose citizens have a higher personal savings tend to do better. On personal level, I have witnesses the different fate of family members who practiced different saving practices,  a lower income group can end up performing better.

There is almost the consistent need to check our finance status. Like a company, we keep track of our financial account. We have our annual balance sheet, the income and expenses account and the cash flow statement. One thing I like, I dont have to comply to any financial standard. The balance sheet should show our net worth grow with time.

Have the saving objective. Far too many people just live only a daily basis. They have extra income today, they will spend more. Their thought is always, tomorrow is another day, I will worry when I have to cross the bridge.

The following is a suggestion on how to retire.

I may view it slightly different.

The concept of retirement is actually new to human kind. For thousand of years, it was never heard. Only when organisations and companies took the leading roles in the business and society, the thoughts about retirement creeps in.

You may choose to differ and do not agree with this “retirement” idea. Organisation may not want to employ you, purely for economic reason, as the longer you work, your pay may be on the high side. However you can always change your career. What about creating your own career…

Great Ways to Prepare For Retirement

Author: bak123

When you think about your retired life, it should be a thought which gives you pleasant smiles, and not any woes. Retired life can be extremely fruitful and enjoyable provided you have given it some careful thought. There are several wonderful benefits of retired life which include lowered responsibility, fewer commitments and also more spare time. If you are careful and give your retirement its due, there is plenty that you can look forward to.

Start looking out for retirement when you begin earning. This is not something which needs to be thought of when you have reached a settled position, or when you have cared for all other needs. This is a constant need which must be met early so that you have enough when you need to retire.

When you prepare for retirement, look at all the things that you need covered. The most important is health care, since this is something all the elderly need security with. If you have some health ailments early on in life like diabetes or heart trouble, ensure that you have a larger proportion allocated for health care. Alternatively, if you have particular interests which require special funds, ensure that you set up a find for it too. These could include travel, a sport or even form of recreation.

When you think of old age, it is important to have some assurance about where you will want to stay, and how you will arrange for it. If you intend to live in your current residence, you will need to save less, while retirement centres will require some funds to pay towards their maintenance. Ensure that you decide on what your plans are so that you can modify your savings accordingly.

It is not daunting or difficult to plan for retirement provided you have a clear goal in mind. Although figures and tasks ahead may seem daunting at first, as you make a clear, realistic and careful plan you will notice that it is easy to work towards it. The first steps may be particularly difficult, but once you are in the groove, saving will become a force of habit and you will see that you can work towards your savings very easily. A systematic approach to saving money will help see you through your old age and also ensure that you life a life filled with comfort and happiness.

For a small nation, malaysia and malaysian are overspender.

Malaysia is not doing too well to manage the public’s money. Some of the samples are quoted in the auditor general’s report, where some goods were purchased at ten time of the open market price. The big projects come with big commission to certain group, such as the rm500 million fees paid as the commission for the purchase of submarines.

As individual, malaysians were reported to live beyond their mean. About 41 people were reported to be bankrupt everyday, mainly due to credit cards debts. Around 5 millions shoppers are crowding the shopping complex in the weekend.

Many of the public have very little knowledge about financial management. The young are having the wrong concept as to where the money comes from. Many assumed that it come direct from the ATM or the teller machine. The only efforts required is to key in the number and … the money will just comes out from the machine. They were never been informed that you have to work to get the money.

The Malaysian government debt id RM455billion an increase of about 12%.

The number of malaysian millionaires is on the rise. Thanks to the better economic situations in the country. Strong local currency, rising price of properties, climbing commodity prices and healthy stock had helped in the making of more millionaires.

Let us check the figure of the malaysian millionaires . In early 2010, there was only 20,000 millionaires. Since then, within a short period of 18 month, the number increased by 19,000 to a new figure of 39,000. I personally believed that the number is much larger. There are some politicians who are too ‘shy’ to announce their worth. Many of the petty traders who can made rm1000 per day, easily end up to become a millionaires. To avoid the suspicion of the tax authority, they do not declare it.

However the situation in other countries by far exceeded the rate of malaysian millionaires . In singapore, the number of millionaires is 183,000, about 5 times of Malaysia. The reality is more outstanding when you convert the $sin to RM malaysia.

Indonesia rate is fairly low. For a population of 200 million, they only have 112,000 millionaires.

I am retired now. I know what it mean when people is saying that it is never too early to plan for retirement.

When I started work in early 1970,  I was too busy trying to make the ends meet. When I was working in London in early 1990s, I was to busy to enjoy the fruits of my labor, touring Europe, driving from Monte Carlo to Denmark. I make it worst when my wife was taking this opportunity to discover Europe. At the end of our 3 years stay, we were financially as we were when we came.

If only I ever thought of my retirement, I would be enjoying the fruits now. For that very reason, I will always say that it is never too early to plan for your retirement.

What exactly that you have to plan for your retirement. Many people may be thinking about the financial aspect of it… you have to have a sustainable income when you are retire.  Yes.. You are right, partly at least, there more to it. Let me share my thoughts:

a. Income planning. That mean you want to have a steady stream of income when you retire. The easiest is to have the saving and keep it in income generating investment.

b. Asset Planning – You need to preserve your asset. That mean you may want to shift your asset holding and maintain assets that will escalate in value. At the time you want lower risk

c. Risk management – Your wealth has to be moved to lower risk investment. Remember the different groups of investment, the bond, property, equity etc…

d. Health risk management – The older you get the more susceptible you are.

Well, there more to this,  we are also concerned about the life after death. A fact which is too easily overlooked. Your roles changes, like an actor in a film, your the elder of the tribe. Play it well to guide your younger generation.

Note: The writer is an approved wealth consultant with the leading Investment House.

I am retired. There are alot of things that I wished I had done or do it better. The main part was that, I forgot to save. So when I retired, all I had was the mandatory saving scheme provided by the government. 

How I wished I had more than that. Looking back, I could have saved double, but I did not.

Going online makes is easier to retire rich or at least earlier.

There are many reasons to it. To start with, online business or online activities does not need a big supporting infrastructure. It does not need a big office or factory to support its production. Secondly, the nature of online works is very suited to older generations for the following reasons:

a. It does not need travelling away from your house. So you are not at the mercy of the road’s traffic conditions. You can do your jobs at the comfort of your very own bedroom.

b. flexibility of time. You have more flexibility in term of time when you want to perform the activity. You can act on it as early as you wake up in the morning or as late as you bedtime at night.

c. It is insensitive to location. All you need is the good access to internet. You can be on your holiday or travelling, as long as you have the access to internet, you can do your jobs.

It does not matter in what activities or business you are in. The online activities can help you and provide the ample opportunities to retire online. If you are selling a product, online marketing can help you. These are the the types of online marketing that you can do:

a. Display advertisement- you can insert a banner, either text rich or graphic rich, in the related website. It is important that the web has a good followers and high number of visitors.

b. text based marketing- there are some organisation that offer advertisement opportunities, like the google’s pay per click system or similar types of companies.

c. Search engine marketing- In fact this is not really the marketing of your products, it rather the enabler to get your advertisements to be viewed y the customers. If you have a blog, you have to put the advertisements in the blog, the search engine marketing enables your blog to be searched.

d. email marketing – if you have a large number  subscribers, then you can email the products. Do be careful to avoid the illegal spamming.

The internet does provide a big opportunities to retire online. You can do it as early or as late as you like it.

Singapore, a small prosperous island nation is facing the issues with its aging workforce. The issue has its historical perspective. The leaders knew that there is always the physical limitation of the small country, it came out with the policy of one couple with two siblings. Theoretically it should work, the population should remain stagnant. However, the truth was, the population started to dwindle.

The aging workforce is among the most difficult to retain. Most will have the pension and savings while some would rely on the contributions from the children. The retire workers want to work. However at the same time, they put a premium value to the work-life balance. They need time for other activities. Companies with policies geared towards balanced work-life find the matured workers are contributing.

Singapore estimated that the number of senior citizens to increase drastically. Residents above 65 will increase from the statistics of 300,000 in 2005 to nearly a million by 2030. The number of aging workforce is also expected to increase. The workers aged 55 to 65 increases from 45% in 2003 to 57% in 2008. The figure for other developed nations are higher with Sweden 70% and Japan at 66%.

Singapore still has the option of getting the services from the retired residents. The government is in the process of changing the legislation to enable workers to continue beyond the present 62 years, following the practices in Europe and US, where the retired age is 65.

The mindset of the employers are still behind time. It is estimated that only 30% are targeting the aging workforce.

Investing your income can be the best way to secure a better future. Too often, when you talk to your family or friends, they can come up with various reasons why they are setting a side any amount from their monthly. They are in constant spiral of insufficient fund.

There are various financial products to invest in. However, sufficient knowledge and research are required to ensure that the investment will benefit us. Without the basic knowledge and skills, we may lose everything that we had invested in.

When we are about to invest, we need to identify the objective of the the investment. These are some of the objectives:

a. Children education

b. buying house

c. retirement plan

Each has its own time frame. The time frame can determine the best financial instruments to invest in. Example, your child education, you may expect that your child will be entering university in 15 years time. Then you can forecast the amount required and then the monthly fixed amount to set aside.

The financial planning involves a set of steps. These are the example:

a Setting goals – in the above example, the goal is the child’s education and the amount is set

b. analyse your risk taking ability – the risk taking can be derived from the investment period and your risk profile. It the investment period is short, the risk is higher. You can invest in the equity funds which are subjected to market cycle.  The risk profile is about your ability to take risk. Some people are willing to take risk while others may be spending sleepless nights.

c. Asset allocation and portfolio design.

The is about distributing your wealth to obtain to investment objective. As for myself, I had adjusted the ration every 5 years. As I reach 60 years old, my investment will be 10% equity and 90% bond or secure investments

d. Monitor situation and adjust accordingly.

There is no 100% security. If you were doing the fore fathers and keep the money under your bed, the thief can steal it or you can lose it if your house catch fire.

A couple can reap the power and strength of the partner to create a richer future. The benefits will surplus if you were to work as a different individuals.

Like many savvy business people of the 21st century, David Bach offered his first pearls of financial wisdom to women, in his bestselling book Smart Women Finish Rich. Recognizing that these women are often accompanied by significant others and that money arguments are the number one cause of divorce in America, Bach has now broadened his scope. Presumably intended to help change this depressing statistic, Smart Couples Finish Rich is a well-written financial planning tool, packed with useful charts and information, inspiring examples, and practical advice.

For people who’ve been disappointed by the shallowness of some of the “quick tips” self-help books out there, the subtitle of this book is a little misleading. Bach’s nine steps are not instant change techniques or chirpy little quips to recite to yourself whenever you go to balance your checkbook. Instead, the first few steps include a series of exercises that will help you determine what you know (and don’t know, or understand) about saving and investing, what role money should play in your life (which includes understanding your values), and how to work together toward a common financial goal. From there, Bach teaches his readers how to account for “disappearing” money, how to build retirement, security, and dream baskets of wealth (providing detailed options for all three), and how to avoid the most common financial mistakes most couples make. Though the focus of the book is predominantly on working with your existing income, Bach includes a final chapter entitled “Increase Your Income by 10 Percent in Nine Weeks.”

Bach’s writing style is engaging and his advice is user-friendly. A successful financial planner, he obviously believes passionately in all the “fringe” benefits of being financially responsible but employs a no-nonsense approach that makes financial smarts available to everyone. So whether you’re 25 and just starting out on the earning, saving, and spending road or you plan to retire next year; whether you’ve recently got hitched for the first time or you’ve just entered your fourth marriage; and whether financial planning comes first or last on your list of fun things to do, the advice in Smart Couples Finish Rich is worth heeding. It’s not about becoming a money-obsessed bore, it’s about getting smart… and rich. –S. Ketchum

This is one of the review in the amazon web… The writer was commenting that he enjoyed the reading and his ex-wife did not. He was very systematic in managing his money and as a family the book was a great resource for those who want to learn about saving and investment.

One of the most important target to be able to have the freedom to retire is to have a steady stream of income. Saving alone is never enough, as with inflation, you will soon notice that your purchasing power will quickly  diminished. One of the easier way to ensure a steady stream of income is to start your own online business.

The recent findings confirm that online business is gaining popularity among the educated mums. It has the main advantage of providing a steady stream of income and at the same time enable the mums to be with the children and raise a family on their own.

There are many opportunities, however most seem to be promoting their business through blogging and social networks.  One of the mums started selling health products through internet. At first she was an active consumers, buying the products for her and the family’s consumption. Later, with the guide from her supplier, she started to offer the product through her blogs. The other mum is selling imported contact lenses.

The opportunities are plenty, and it is a matter of hard work to build  the freedom to retire early.

Preparing for retirement will require a long term planning. We had heard it too often that the majority of retirees are facing their financial troubles after 3 years of retirement..

read the article on leveraging on the Retirement Income Opportunity…

Just because you have now retired or retiring in 10 or 20 years, you should not stop investing. It’s now time to build on your nest egg and revise your retirement plan. You can still be conservative and make money at the same time.

Many people start there stock investing careers when they retire as a hobby or a money making venture. The Stock Market is a great Retirement Income opportunity that needs to be learned properly.

Stock investing at retirement can be learned without too many pressures, therefore with the right education you could be making $500 per month pocket money or money that contributes towards a more elaborate lifestyle. Or if you just want to utilize the services of someone who helps you pick your stocks and then learn off them you can do this also. These stock picking services have helped many people make extraordinary incomes.

Another way you can learn about the Stock Market is by going to classes and learning the market by studying in a group, this way you can also meet new friends and develop some relationships with like minded people.

Staying active and stimulating the mind is important and will keep you feeling and acting younger. You can retain that sharpness you had when you were working, by starting with a retirement plan that can change your whole retirement outlook.

Most successful investors consider earning money to be important even after retirement. The money you earn money from investments can be passive and contribute towards paying the bills and other expenses eating into the lump sum amount saved over your life time.

Following are some tips to developing a Retirement Income Opportunity;

1. If you have not retired yet, do not wait until retirement before you start saving. Start at an early age and use a savings plan to save every pay day. Some banks and fund management companies have good rates which, in the long term, will possibly even double the money you have invested in a number of years. A retirement plan should start now, no matter what your age.

2. Stocks are a great option and have grown more than any other asset class over the last 50 years. Most large capitalized (high assets in company) companies have grown due to business growth in recent times.

3. Purchasing real estate is also a good option but has its disadvantages. Once you invest, if you need the money you can’t get the money unless you sell and this could take months. Although, the advantage is that the price of properties go up over long term and they are less volatile than stocks.

4. You can also start a business as a hobby. The working experience you have gained over your life time can branch into other ideas. Some people invest for a hobby into the stock market or property. The stock market allows you to start with a minimal amount and you can grow this amount to a substantial amount with the right guidance. See the bottom of this article for more information.

5. You can also get an investment retirement account or managed fund account. You can find out more about these from a financial planner.

There are many ways where a little money in the beginning can explode into lots of money and become a very successful retirement income opportunity.

Days of relying on the government to provide us security when we retire are over. The retirement income provided by the government are not worth the wait and that is why you need to develop your own retirement income opportunity. By taking action and using some simple yet effective investment techniques you can profit like the other 5% who retire comfortably.

The ladies seem to be doing better in the education, however the top corporate positions are still controlled by men. If you are a women, the book can be an inspiration…

David Bach’s Smart Women Finish Rich is a homage to the financial wisdom of his grandmother; it’s also an excellent foundation for women who are starting to get their financial lives in order. Bach’s approach to money management is rooted in years of investment seminars for women and his work as senior vice president of investments at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. During that time he recognized that “people rarely know what is truly driving them emotionally when it comes to money.” In response, Bach has written a guide to money management for women based on his belief that “financial planning is as much an emotional issue as it is an intellectual one.” Are you considering your values in your work and investing? What part of your daily work is driven by your goals in life? Is your latte habit preventing you from accumulating substantial wealth? Bach addresses tax strategies, wills, insurance, retirement plans, and investments in a highly accessible manner. Smart Women Finish Rich ably bridges the gap between simple saving strategies and preparing for widowhood and financial independence. –Brad Doll

Now,  I know what you may be thinking from the title.  Who doesn’t want to get rich?

Well,  did you ever ask yourself if you really want to be rich? Most people have the dream to be wealthy but far fewer lack the real desire that is necessary to create the wealth that they are seeking.  You see,  if all you have is the wish to have a certain amount of money,  nothing is going to just magically happen.  It won’t,  trust me.

Creating a real desire means that you are willing to do new things or to really learn a new way to create wealth.  It goes deeper than just wanting to have more money,  because guess what?  So does everyone else.

Wanting money has never been the secret to getting rich.

If it were,  there would be no poverty.  No,  you have to do more than just want.  You have to desire it so much that you are willing to break out of your comfort zones and achieve your dream.  Then you will be able to open to new doors and realize that there are sources of wealth that you never thought were there.  Get past your barriers or your limiting beliefs that you cannot get rich or that the only way to live a wealthy lifestyle is to scheme or win a lot of money.

You have to create a state of mind that is ready and willing and able to Manifest Wealth and claim YOUR FREE E-book and Two FREE Lessons by E-Mail!

Thank you for it…

Do you want wealth, health and a satisfying life?  Of course you do!  You would have to be crazy not to want that for yourself.  But the reality for most of the people out there is that this will never   It is not enough to want things, you must pursue your goals and dreams with a passion and be relentless in attaining them.  

The universe reacts to the way in which you respond.  This is one of many ways in how the Law of Attraction works.  You attract what you think about most and your actions also attract what comes into your life as well.  Your subconscious mind is where it all starts.

“Whatever the mind can conceive it can also achieve.”  If you think about something long and hard enough and truly believe that you will have it and can visualize that you have already received it…you will get what it is that you so desire.  

What happens is that most people try to believe in these principals and nothing happens right away and then they give up on their goals.  The key to being successful is consistently.  You must keep applying these principals and over time you will achieve greatness.

Ok, so you have a goal…

How are you going to achieve that goal?  You have to lay out a game plan for yourself to follow.  If the game changes, your plan must change and adapt as well.  Life brings about circumstances that are out of our control so you must be able to roll with the punches and surge forward if you want to reach success.

So lets get to the meat and potatoes….

How do you attract riches into your life?  There are some killer tips in the content above and much more at http://wealthstudy.net But I am going to give you some advice here that will put you on the pathway to success.

In order to attract riches you have to focus on prosperity and not the lack thereof.  Many people will focus on what they don’t have and why they cant do certain things.  Well, if you focus on all of the negative things that you don’t want in your life and not all the things that you wish you had, you are attracting those negative thoughts and they become your reality.

Focus on prosperity and prosperity will come…

Well, that is a nice thought but you might think that I have been struggling for awhile and my situation doesn’t change.   Take a look back at your own situation.  Do you think about all the money that you don’t have and how it difficult it is to pay the bills?  If you do, you are making it harder for yourself and are attracting more of the same.  You will continue to go downhill if you don’t focus on the right things.

What you also need is an opportunity and a place to focus all of the attention.  This is a critical ingredient to your progress because you cant think yourself rich.  You have to take action!  There is not one single rich man or woman out there that got rich by wishing it true.  They all took action..

The right opportunity is the key ingredient.  Don’t spin your wheels with something that will never come to fruition.  You must concentrate your efforts on an opportunity that will allow you to put all of your motivation and determination coupled with your millionaire mindset on a journey that will propel you into the riches that you so desire.

If you are looking for a solid opportunity that will enable you even if you have no previous experience in marketing or business a real opportunity to achieve financial success.  Go to http://wealthstudy.net and get your free report on the 7 successful strategies to a home based business.  These money making tips alone will get you on your pathway to success.  Invest the time in yourself to become the financially independent person that you know you can be.

-To retire rich is the ambition of almost everybody except for the super-rich.

David Bach can share his experiences, nothing is more valuable than a real life experience. He has a plan to help you live and finish rich—no matter where you start

So you may fell your miss the boat because you’ve started late?

You are not alone.

What if I told you that right now as you flip through this book, 70% of the people in the store with you are living paycheck to paycheck?

What if I told you that the man browsing the aisle to your left owes more than $8,000 in credit card debt? And the woman on your right has less than $1,000 in savings?

See? You’re really not alone.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people who’ve saved too little and borrowed too much will never catch up financially. Why? Because they don’t know how.

You can start late and finish rich—but you need a plan.

This book contains the plan. It’s inspiring, easy to follow, and is based on proven financial principles. Building a secure financial future for yourself isn’t something you can do overnight. It will take time and it will take work. But you can do it.

I know. I’ve helped millions of people get their financial lives together—and I can help you. Spend a few hours with me—and let me challenge you. Give me a chance to become your coach.

Just because you started late doesn’t mean you are doomed to an uncertain future. Whether you’re in your thirties, forties, fifties, or beyond, there is still time to turn things around. It’s never too late to live and finish rich. All it takes is the decision to start.
