The advise is simple but not easy
The normal human being tends to scare himself and others in a market downturn...either give up investing or sell everything.

[WhatDoYouThink?]

if invest only for the long term, how to survive without other sources of income?

Sg is different from America,
we do not enjoy huge land resources, population size advantage.
USD also enjoy being the leader of currency.

Americans can purse other than wealth for happiness.

Invest in S&P index and wait for compounding effect ?

I am not worried about him. He has many handbags to survive. I am more worried about you.  Cos you keep changing masters and idols every now and then

Seriously how many people can hold back and not offload if your investment already made $30K or more from your initial investment when facing such a crash?.....

Hi that is why the advice is simple but not easy to follow.

The best thing I heard from FIRE people is not to look at it once you put in because losses and gain can affect you emotionally and most cannot control their emotions.

So basically it is letting all the profits gain so far be wiped off by not looking during a market crash and let them restart rolling from scratch again.

Another expert will say why not take the profit gain so far by offloading (instead of wasting it by not looking) then buy back again after the crash and let them roll from scratch again......

US and Singapore are different. In US, you just need to connect the waterpipe to the shares. They will pay dividend consistently. But for foreigners, there is a tax of around 30% when you received it. Also you will lost some money on currency exchanges. If you invest in Sg, the dividend is miserable. Some even ask you to top up more cash like those REITs while they boast about the increase in portfolios.

If one can predict  crash accurately to take profit..then cN also short to make a fortune.

If you are not top expert you probably cannot do it well.

So ordinary  investors should not try to time.

While the market crash many times only one time, it undo 10yr of investing during financial crisis if you time perfectly....most of the time it only correct tk 6 months to 15mknths low so all your knvestment before that makes money.

The simple advice given takes into consideration many scenarios....one just need to follow and don't act smart.
