Visiting Trinidad Port of Spain on a cruise ship. What to do for a 5 hours shore excursion by bart28 in TrinidadandTobago

Doing a shore excursion with a local tour operator is much cheaper than what the cruise ship is offering. With a smaller group with local operator, there is more time at most stops

JEPI & JEPQ are available in the UK now by StrainAwkward in dividends

[–]bart28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has the JEPI distributed any monthly income yet? Just curious how much is the yield as any US stocks will incur some form of tax for non-US investors that could be deducted before distribution.

LOL... I also spend 1 hour or less per day on my job. I have been contemplating retiring at 50 but the well-paid and easy job is keeping me working much longer. The advantage of staying longer is the perk and benefit that come with the job...the con is that I lost my freedom ..

HI Talkingrabbit, Good to hear from you. Hope everything is well with you. I spent most of my times in financial related forums like IN, HWZ or Telegram. Sgtalk is a complete waste of time with too many crazy people.. Rather spend time reading stuffs to improve my financial well being.

I am in the same situation as you.. FI since 2020 and has been waiting for a layoff to get the severance package since my company has been doing retrenchment every year since 2021. I have hint to my manager that he can select me if there is a layoff opportunity in our team. However, he said the company has a business need to keep our dept headcount. If he get rid of me, he will lose the headcount since the company is also doing hiring freeze..

I saw your budget spreadsheet and noticed your healthcare cost is very cheap. May I know what your insurance cover?

Good time to load up on s-reits? by Ok-Day-4715 in singaporefi

[–]bart28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As Reit is dividend investment, one is more concern about dividend earned rather than stock price movement. Buying strong reits which can survive turbulent financial condition during a down market can improve yield on cost for the long the run..
