Video Overview

The writer and her husband both served in the military. She retired at age forty-two to spend more time with their children and later put money into a Bitcoin platform after a relative recommended it as a way to support her younger son's studies at the School of Visual Arts in New York. She says the platform soon closed. She then turned to the stock market and technical analysis but became ill within a year amid greed, anxiety, and fear. In retirement, she receives a monthly pension in the low six figures in New Taiwan dollars and spends NT$80,000 to NT$100,000 a month. She asks about placing NT$6 million from redeemed bonds and VT into a 70/30 allocation of 00662 and 00865B. She also describes twenty-year education funds for twin grandchildren. The speaker responds to her stable cash flow and proposed allocation as an individual case.

Key Takeaways

  • To help fund her son's studies at the School of Visual Arts in New York, which she says cost about NT$3 million a year, the writer put money into a Bitcoin platform that later closed.
  • After the platform incident, she moved into stocks and studied technical analysis, saying that pressure from greed, anxiety, and fear contributed to becoming ill within a year.
  • She reports a monthly pension in the low six figures in New Taiwan dollars, monthly spending of NT$80,000 to NT$100,000, and asks about allocating NT$6 million as 70% 00662 and 30% 00865B.
  • For her grandchildren's education funds, she says she moved existing 006208 holdings into 00662, contributes NT$10,000 monthly, adds NT$5,000 after declines greater than 15%, and plans to hold for twenty years.
