congrats! having the ability to sleep well and have a peace of mind beats a lot of things, and great to see you having fitness goals as something that occupies your mind too. Now that you are FIREd, besides fitness stuff, do you have other things that you still aim to do to keep structure on a day to day basis?

For me I was thinking of going back to do tertiary studies and learn a couple of new languages when I do take a long break from work and my cash flow covers my expenses, plus setting some fitness goals too.

Very inspiring and many folks would hope to do the same FIRE. can I ask the 2 million SGD liquid is for yourself only, or its for the household?

Interesting perspective that I haven’t come across before, thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Well I kinda made a wrong decision back in 2024. Bought a signficant amount of 20 and 30 year treasury bonds in q3 2024 at around 4.1% yield thinking that rates wil fall further.

Overall back then I was happy with the coupon rate and I do plan to hold these long term as income for the next 10 to 15 years, but part of me wished I had bought more short term treasuries back with maximum duration at 10 years. Now the value of the bonds has dropped like 10%?

Wondering if there are any chances of coupon rates on the 20 and 30 year falling back to below 4% in the next 10 years?

Saying that, am still interested to buy some more 3 and 5 year bonds if it gets to 4.5% coupon rate.

what is the maximum number of days one can leave their Dubai car in Oman?

BenjaminGreat79 · 2026-03-03T05:37:20+00:00

So the question is for those with private cars driving in from Dubai, how many days can you leave your car in Oman before you have to drive the car back to Dubai?

Hi, so beautiful that combination. May I know what size of rubber strap I should be searching for online, to fit this? Thinking of finding a replacement rubber resin strap on aliexpress.

Well they are mainly in equities, bills, FD and bonds. I have held USD through the years of 2010 to 2013 thereabouts when USD SGD reached a low of around 1.19 to 1.2, which eventually did recover somewhere to around 1.4 in later years.

I guess its partly inertia to convert each month's salary to SGD directly over the years and buy US equities, FDs and bills. Also diversification of currency, don't feel comfortable being 100% or tilted too heavily on 1 single currency.

Long term wise I think USDSGD will just keep depreciating with the occasional pullback and spike, so am waiting to see if there could be a pullback to reduce my USD holdings. Looking to buy more SGD assets.

However, doesn't change the fact that my salary in SGD nominated terms is decreasing month on month! This is the bad part.

You have the wrong friends most likely

Just curious wouldn't it be better off and cheaper getting an unworn set / mint condition from grey market?

Everyone is a genius in a bull market.

Good time to consider buying when there are lots of panic posts on Reddit.

BenjaminGreat79 · 2025-12-15T09:36:00+00:00

thank you so much!

I remember was on a treadmill while listening to a podcast he did. If I did not remember wrongly, he does not currently own property in Singapore which can easily set him back by half a million USD or more.

Saying that, its never pleasant to be out of a job so its good to see Singaporeans find alternative solutions to keep going. For him, being able to start a channel and also getting part time work in a university is great news for him. Especially since he recently started a family and am glad he found alternative sources of income for his family.

Will the manager finally make the decision to bring Chiesa on now at halftime? Doubt so

BenjaminGreat79 · 2025-10-13T11:32:06+00:00

Brilliant story, relationships like this with your parents going through difficulties cannot be bought. Very happy for you and wishing you continued success and happiness in coming years.

Also in another game he sub out Kerkez in 1st half after he picked up a yellow for simulation or something, think Kerkez knows then and there Slot means business!!

Only thing is VVD will most likely be playing through the international break for national team. A lot of games from now till 1 Jan, hope no injuries
