katvolution 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2008 you always say.. little money.. wah liao.. scually your little money is 20k-30k type.. no comments on investment.. is all abt reading up the news and understanding the current market.. Siao ar.. Dun haf lar... All our savings are tied down in our FD liao... That's why no spare to invest.. And I nkow nuts about investing.. Boring and safe person.. Will only go for FD for savings.. I hate changes.. If the prices happy happy go up, happy happy go down... I will faint from excitment... there's no certainty in investments...nobody can tell u whether u will gain or lose.... my hubby said now's a good time cos prices are already so low....how much more lower is it going to go? but u must be prepared to hold it for a longer period of time....at least 5years..... Ya lor.. My boy also said, now is the best time for the semi-rich to get richer... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Air 0 Report post Posted November 25, 2008 The price refers to the valuation? Or the price you bought the flat? I understand that theory.. But somehow, I gonna rot and die in this house.. Want to make it as nice as possible within our budget.. Nah... The mini pub, plus 2 veneer doors, plus 1 glass door, plus the plastering and wallpaper will amount up to about 10k... it's the wallpaper itself that is expensive... I know... It's like snowballing.. But we had already set a last 10k limit to it.. hmmm... After that, we will be saving every single cent we earn... Anyway, tks for your advice.. Shd be the price u bought the flat....

My boy also said, now is the best time for the semi-rich to get richer... I checked FD rates....wah cannot make it Not really....even if you put in your money now, you need to wait at least 5years before you see some gains.....the possibility of losing some more money when u invest now is still there.....just that it won't be too much.....just have to hold it for a longer period to see it slowly climb up......very slowly...

I won't do any carpentry for that room.. Don't even have false ceiling leh! LOL.. Will just buy a ready bed, a ready wardrobe for clothes, and a table for computer.. No tv at all.. I am brought up this way by my mum... So, the same goes for my kids... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
