If you have been reading my blog for some time, you will know that I like the CPF system.
For the common folks in Singapore, the CPF is our cornerstone in retirement funding.
In fact, I even said that the CPF can be our best friend in our golden years if we nurture the friendship.
However, if we wish to retire early like I have, simply nurturing our friendship with CPF is insufficient since we cannot utilise the savings until we are at least 55 years of age.
Even at 55, we might want to give the magic of compound interest more time to grow our CPF savings before we draw on the account so that our savings can last longer.
The CPF is really our ultimate personal financial safety net.
To be able to retire earlier, however, we will need to have a stream of meaningful passive income that will pay for all our needs and wants in life.
This is where investing for income comes in.
Investing for income is the main reason why I am able to achieve financial freedom and retire early.
Warren Buffett famously said:
“If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.”
Work until I die?
To me, it is a very gloomy thought.
Now, to be fair, not everyone wants to stop working and that is a good thing.
If everyone wants to retire early, the workforce will shrink.
Imagine what would happen to the economy?
Imagine what would happen to our investments?
The horror!
So, not everyone needs passive income, right?
Wrong.
For those who enjoy working and have no plans to retire early, they should ask:
"What if I am forced to retire early?"
There are many ways this could happen.
Remember what is the best insurance in this world?
Passive income.
I blogged about this before too.
Passive income is really less of a want than a need.
For regular readers, this is really all familiar territory.
For new readers, it might be an eye opener.
Investing for income will help anyone achieve a greater degree of financial security.
Eventually, it could also help us achieve financial freedom.
