Rethinking F.I.R.E (Financial Freedom) in Singapore

I started this blog with the motivation to share my ongoing journey towards achieving F.I.R.E or financial freedom in Singapore. The initial idea was to start early, invest in dividend stocks and REITs, and build a steady stream of passive income progressively.

My very first investment was Ascendas REITs, 200 units @ $2.56. That is back in Oct 2018 while I was still in uni with loans and no money. Subsequently, I added more shares of Ascendas then Mapletree Logistics Trust and finally Capitalmall Trust during the Black Monday crash in 2020.

Along the way, I have also invested in crypto staking tokens, bought shitcoins here and there. But around mid-2020, I decided to get serious and did a major rebalancing of my crypto dividend portfolio. The 2 staking altcoins that I decide to go all-in is ICON (ICX) and Kyber Network (KNC).

To date, the total invested capital for my REITs is about $7.5k and for crypto staking tokens is about $6k.

Here are the cumulative dividends I have collected from my REITs and crypto. (*Dotted line is estimated dividends from crypto)
