Retirement Timeline

Posted by aliciaallyloh  Published in Motivation

“Majority neglect retirement plan”; an article in The Star reads on 14 March 2008. Most of Malaysian have not prepared for retirement while those who have only started after age 40.

If you want to retire comfortably, it is definitely too late to start planning at age 40 not to mention wanting to retire rich and young. I asked myself “Why do we do that?” Merely because we are too busy with our daily life and kept putting off planning for our retirement because the word “retirement” sounds too far away?

Rich Dad’s Words of Wisdom

Posted by aliciaallyloh  Published in Motivation

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.




Robert Frost, from ‘The Road Not Taken’

At times, when we come to the crossroads of our lives, where we turn is what we will make out of our lives therefore it is important that we make the right choice. Most people will not take the road less traveled due to the fear of the unknown.

Be a Master-Builder of Your Own Life

Posted by aliciaallyloh  Published in Motivation

Watch this — Building Life

I watch this slide-show by an anonymous writer and I find it to be true to life. Whatever we choose to do in our life, we need to do it with our heart, otherwise, we will end up like this excellent carpenter with immaculate carpenter skill but who built his own house shoddily.

Remember, your life is yours to live. You don’t live it for your parents, your spouse or even for your children. Evidently how you live and die rest fully upon yourself in your own two hands.

Be a master builder of your own life and allow the next generation to emulate your good example by living a healthy, wealthy and happy life. Take care of your own health, work hard to build your financial wealth and while doing both stay happy.

“Retire Young & Rich” – Next New Year Resolution theme

Posted by aliciaallyloh  Published in Motivation

December is the time of the year where people make resolutions to be better for the next year. The Christmas and New Year festivities allow us to spend relaxing time with our family and friends, reflect on the past year’s achievements and shortfalls and shout out our resolutions for the new year.

Yes, the usual resolutions are to lose that extra 10 kg you have gained over the year or to stop smoking or even to be a better person by promising yourself to do a few good deeds a day; give up your seat in public transportation to the elderly, disabled and pregnant etc etc. All these are fine and good but let us change the theme for this year’s resolution.

How about setting a goal to retire young and rich? It is a lifetime goal and if you have set this goal then your next 5 years’ resolutions will be set for you. In fact, your new year resolutions are set for life as you now have a life long direction. Here are 5 I can think of on top of my head; maybe you have more to share……

Financial Literacy - your insurance to living

Posted by aliciaallyloh  Published in Motivation

Today is Sunday, I woke up ready to have a lazy day but when scanning news online, I had headline like this “1,600 turn to Bank Negara’s AKPK unit every month” screaming at me. This is alarming for a small country like Malaysia.

These 1,600 individuals turn to the Credit Counselling and Debt Management Agency (AKPK) for help to manage their debts. What about those who are also in debts but are not aware yet and also there are those already in debts and trying to clear them on their own to save their pride. I am appalled by just thinking about it.

As reported by Rashvinjeet S Bedi, the number seeking help monthly has tripled since the agency was set up 18 months ago. And I am sure it will continue to rise if nothing is done to educate these people about how to handle their personal finances.

Success is Predictable

Posted by aliciaallyloh  Published in Motivation

Success is as predictable as the sun will rise in the east and will then set in the west everyday, 365 days a year. Success is not simply being in the right place at the right time. Success is not meeting one rich person who will help you out. Success is also not a matter of just good luck.

Success will only happen to you if you want it to. You have to work for it. You will have to learn all the success principles and guides given by all the “gurus” of the world and by putting into practice all you have learned you will then be moving to the front line of your life. Once you have attained those principles, you will have an incredible advantage over people who do not yet know or is willing to learn and put such techniques and strategies into practice. You will have the winning edge for the rest of your life and career.
