A 45-year-old client asked me if he should buy a new car.
I told him the real question is not whether he can afford S$2,000/month.
The real question is whether that same cashflow should go into:
• a depreciating lifestyle asset, or
• an income-generating asset that may potentially support future transport and living expenses.
Retrenchment is not just a job problem. It is a cashflow problem.
And the stronger your passive income base, the less financially destructive that risk becomes.
DM me "RESILIENCE" if you want to explore how to reduce long-term dependence on salary income with a high dividend portfolio.
