You are in your early 20s. You just graduated. Life seems great. All of a sudden, you are diagnosed with a life threatening illness. If you have 10 years left, what should your investment strategy be?

Hi, I am in my 20s and diagnosed with an life there life disease. I can’t live long. I rely on subsidies. I have no insurance. What pains me more than the illness is that I’m a strong supporter of capitalism. I don’t want to rely on government money (other ppl’s money). There should be a way to pay the bills. I’m sure I’m not alone. At the end of the day, our actual time horizon is always unknown. So I continue to live my life with honor and dignity. To serve God and fulfill my purpose :)

I am sorry to hear that. Please stay strong and hopefully God will grant you additional more years in life to fulfill much more.

Perhaps you can focus on dividend stocks. Something that give you a recrurring income.

You have a story to tell. Perhaps you would like to find some way to share your life story and motivate others.

You should invest in blue chips and reits to give you dividends for you to spend. Also, you may want to consider passing the stocks on to your love ones as well.

I'm sorry to hear this. No man is an island, what $ you take today is because you unfortunately don't have the time to earn it with a long life. But we can also think of how to give back / add value to the community, dont mind if I'm a bit blunt, maybe organ donation or some form of contribution that will benefit the community (ies) you want to give back to.

Sometimes we have to take and give, in this order. But you have the right mindset already, ie not simply take and take.

10 years left, I would just live life to fullest. Do what I love and not work till I die.

Sure you might support capitalism, don't want to rely on anyone handouts but the government doesn't care if you live or die tomorrow. Neither will any company.

This may come off a little insensitive.

Turn your pain into profit and take the Nick Vujicic route....
