paid my parents $11,000
before Canada ✈️
Arigato, dear investor,
Last week, before I flew off to Canada for another 2-month holiday, I paid out $11,000 in dividends to my parents — their annual investment profits.

If you’ve been following me for a while, you’d know the only people I personally invest for are my parents. Why? Because they fully trust me with their retirement money, and they’ve had the patience to ride through the market’s ups and downs without panic.
I started helping them invest back in 2021.
In 2022, when the markets dropped more than 20%, I’m so grateful they didn’t pull their money out. Instead, they trusted me completely.
And that trust paid off. Till today, I’ve paid them over 32% in total dividends (about 8% per year).
Here’s how I approach it:
I don’t pay out every cent of profit, because I want to ensure I can continue paying them steadily regardless of market conditions.
I made a promise: their capital will always be safe with me. This is their retirement sum, and I take that responsibility very seriously.
My long-term goal: within 10–12 years, I’ll return their full capital, and after that, they’ll continue receiving dividends from me for life.
Yes, I’ve basically become their personal CPF Life — except with much better returns 😅.
Looking back, I’m just grateful I started my investing journey. Despite losing over $50,000 in my early years, I didn’t give up. Eventually, I found the right strategy for me — combining ETFs with options. Now, with a portfolio of over a million dollars, I have peace and freedom… while being able to bless my parents and support my family’s daily expenses.

For me, investing is more than just a skillset. It’s truly a blessing. That’s why I call myself the Arigato Investor — to remind myself to always be grateful for what I have, and for having a skillset that allows me to bless not just myself, but also the people I love.

Arigato!
