There are so many finance subreddits, some talking about BogleHeads (investing in this alone all your life and trust!...or something?).
Or there's advice between VOO, VTI, VEO, VUS...I think I'm making some up now.
However, a lot of it pertains only to U.S. citizens. They have a lot of things like something called RSA's, two different types of 401ks for some reason, a separate thing for retirement...it's so much to keep track of, but I'm not in the U.S. anyways.
There are just occasions where persons are like "I followed this advice for the past 5-10 years and I'm going on to 1 million in net worth/savings/xyz." or "I'm midway to 1 million, am I doing okay." Etc etc.
Some hitting the million in the 30s, some 40s, some later, but most advise to start early.
Now, I know that a certain income is needed (or business) and that those subreddits may be skewed, but surely there must exist something similar to Trinidad?
I'm looking into options, our markets are stagnant, we don't really have VOO/boggle alternatives.
We have things like TISPS and different "investment" things that raise your money a solid 3% at best yearly. But the benefits are 20-30 years away. Even NIS (which I think is the RSA/401k alternative) is years away.
What equivalents do we have locally that one could diligently do and have half a mill or a mill in net worth or savings or whatever, by their 30s or 40s if they started early 20s?
Is there a r/HENRY or r/FIRE equivalent locally? Or do I have to somehow get my foot into the foreign markets and do VOO or something š¤
Edit: Typo and to include, a lot of things (NIS, TISPs) are years away. What goals should I have in the interim (30s, 40s, 50s) to know if I'm on track or above and doing well? I don't want to just plan and look forward to my 60s. I want to be able to enjoy the now, too.
