Investing for an ordinary salary worker like me is the only true way I can reach financial freedom. I prefer stock investing. It is by far the one that requires the smallest capital as compared to investing in property. You can buy 1 lot or 2 lot of the stock to start investing. Although you will not make you rich overnight with 1 lot but you definitely have to start somewhere.
I started buying stock in Aug 2011. The first stock I bought was Genting. At that point of time I have no idea how does the stock market work, and buy based on what others recommended. Although I didn't make a lost after a year of foolish following others or make much money from stocks but I was not sure I am not going anywhere. I was simply chasing when price was going up and didn't buy anywhere when price was at bargain. Basically I was following the herd. It was only until early 2012 that I realised something had to change. I started to read financial books and attend seminar to learn.
I truly believe with this current basic knowledge of stock picking I can reach my goal of reaching financial freedom when I reach 55. The first step to reaching my goal is to truly believe. The next step is to work hard to my goal.
Along this financial journey I will pick up a lot of useful tricks, I wish I can pass everything I know through this blog to my children. I shall call this "A gift to my children".
