Investment Strategy by Age Phase
📌 Investment success hinges on three variables: capital (modal), time (waktu), and return (return).
⏳ Young investors should maximize the time factor as capital and knowledge grow alongside it.
📊 Investment choices must evolve as one ages, acknowledging that no single strategy fits all phases.

Phase 1: Teens to 25 Years Old (Adventurous Phase)
🎯 The main goal is to build good, disciplined, and consistent financial habits and invest in self-improvement (money follows value).
🛡️ First priority is establishing an emergency fund covering 3 to 6 times of basic monthly expenses.
📈 Suitable first investments for beginners include Money Market Mutual Funds (RDPU) or Retail SBNs to avoid being scared off (kapok).
🧑‍💻 For long-term goals (> 5 years) and high risk tolerance, consider Blue Chip stocks (like BCA or BRI) or higher-risk assets like stocks and crypto.

Phase 2: 25 to 40 Years Old (Productive Phase)
👨‍👩‍👧 This phase is marked by building a career, potentially supporting dependents, and handling mortgages; thus, investments might need to be less aggressive.
🚨 It is crucial to secure an emergency fund for the family/dependents and ensure adequate insurance or BPJS coverage.
⚖️ Debt repayment and investing should ideally happen concurrently; prioritize setting aside funds for liabilities (e.g., installments) before discretionary spending.
📉 Investment selection should align with goals: low-risk assets (RDPU, bonds, government bonds) for short-term goals (e.g., buying a car) and higher-risk assets (index mutual funds) for long-term goals (retirement).

Phase 3: 40 Years Old and Beyond (Retirement/Less Productive Phase)
💰 With larger capital, greater knowledge, and experience, the focus shifts to capital preservation due to the high risk of significant losses affecting dependents.
🏛️ Focus on investments offering stable, less volatile returns suitable for retirement income, such as fixed deposits, time deposits (RDPT), or government bonds.
🏡 High-risk options like real estate (land, houses, shophouses) or businesses can be considered for inheritance, provided there is sufficient experience.
⏪ If starting late, it is crucial to start now (better late than never), diversify across several low-risk assets, and avoid going all-in on one place.
