Hi anon,

Not capping

But currently my NW at 26 is about plus minus 300k (not counting CPF) depending on whats Bitcoin doing with about 20k debt (cause i went crazy and bought a couple of random usless purchase). because I been stuck under 1 mil since 2017 so like i guess i was having a mid life crisis moment.

Current asset allocation

ETF (Single country and reglional ETF like Europe, Latin america, Asia) 13.95%

Commodity 19.08%

Liquid cash 4.58%

Crypto 66.04% (Started in crypto so main bags are from left over)

Dont really do single company stocks because in my opinion the ETF are to derisk my crypto holding.

Hope it helps.

I dont earn much on my dayjob less then 35k a year. so yeap Crypto is crazy and fun
