Inflation

Henry Tan | 11:12 AM | |
My first question to you.

How do you fight against inflation? 

Well, I have a set of answers that usually answered by people at my age.

"What is inflation?" 
"So what? I don't care." 
"I'm aware of it, but a few percent is too little to concern about it"
"Wow, my money is depreciating!" (but still do nothing about it)

So which answer closes to you? =p
Or maybe this?


Well, let me tell you my story.
At age 15, I started to know what is inflation.
But I said to myself: "Doesn't matter to me, since I got no money."
At age 18, I started to buy shares.
And I said to myself: "I have too little money to concern about inflation."
At age 21. I started to be unit trust consultant.
And I said to myself: "I'm not even working yet, where to find extra money?"

So now, I am 22 and I said to myself.

"It's time!"

But in fact, I've procrastinated  for 7 years since 15 years old.
Did the inflation waits for me? No. =(


So last question for you.

It's time for you yet?

  6. Priscilla, inflation means that your money is depreciated. in other word, last time you could buy a cup of milo at RM1 but now u need RM2 to buy one. =)

    Sherrie Pui, well, perhaps time to think about investing with your savings. ;)

    Aki, why not? just do the right investment. ;)

    Meitzeu, yuppp. but at the same time, rich becomes richer, and that's because they know how to use well with their money. ;)

    Choulyin, lol yeah, someone told me there are only two types of people do not get affected: the dead people and the crazy people. LOL
