Commit to Long-Term Investing
- Staying invested long-term is much harder than just starting to invest.
- Treat your investments like a job where money stays at work for at least five years.
Define Financial Goals First
- Set clear financial, lifestyle, and family goals to avoid prematurely withdrawing investments.
- Use investments only for long-term wealth creation, such as superannuation or investment bonds with tax benefits.
Choose Simplicity and Automation
- Automate investment contributions into a simple, diversified portfolio like VDHG or VDAL.
- Avoid trying to optimize too much; consistent investing beats constant tweaking.
