Investing in D.R.I.Ps

Lately, I have been contemplating in investing in D.R.I.Ps of companies such as Wall Mart, MCD, Exxon Mobil etc etc.

However I am wondering if one can do so from Singapore. Will opening a USD stock trading account allow me to do that?

Ithink I need to research more on this.

Early retirement: AT 35

Fancy retiring at age 35?

This is a guest post I read over at http://earlyretirementextreme.com/when-to-retire-try-age-35.html

This is an informative blog which details how the writer working as a researcher was able to retire at a young age by saving 75% of his income. He has since retired and has 25 years of living expenses stocked up. Imagine a 25 year worth of emergency savings.

This blog has other posts and plans by guest bloggers on their on-going plans to retire early.

Really worth checking out if this is one of your plans to retire early.
