The past few days were nothing but inspiring.
I’ve done reading a book of how the author (a Malaysian) retire with financial freedom at 55-year-old even though he only started to plan for his retirement in his 40s.
A fresh retiree came and joined my online REIT investing sharing session (which normally make up of a younger crowd)
An 84-year-old lady emailed me on how she can open an online stock trading account.
Most often, we relate age with our ability to do or pursue certain things in life. As we grow past a certain age in life, we tend to build up self-limiting thoughts like:
“It’s too late to start a business in my 30s/40s.” (Anthony Tan was 30 when he founded Grab)
“I’m too old to start my own Youtube/Tik-Tok channel.” (follow mine HERE)
“It’s hard for me to get fit like how I used to back in university.” (I am guilty of that)
Some people are ‘old’ in age but live life with openness and grace. Many are ‘young’ in age but live a life full of self-limiting excuses.
If any, one thing that is certain in life is that we cannot stop or pause aging.
However, another thing that is certain in life is we have a choice to remain nimble and learnable.
As you are reading this, an 84-year-old lady has started her online investing journey.
If you are still hesitant about trying something out in life, consider this my supportive push to you – it is never too late to get started.
Till next week!
