I totally agree.

In fact the sole purpose of Yeap Ming Feng's post is to let people compare their household and individual income against others in Singapore.

The article is titled "The Average Singaporean Household Income: Where Do You Stand?" The link is here : //blog.seedly.sg/average-singaporean-household-income-stand/

Check it out.

If after finding out that others are doing better than you, and that knowledge spurs you to do better, to improve yourself, then this is a good outcome. And this is the way it should be.

If on the other hand, the knowledge turns you into a jealous monster and you start to heap insults on others, now thats defeatist attitude. With this kind attitude, you will never progress and grow.

Conversely, if you find that you are well ahead of others, you may want to reward yourself and your family/ friends with some treats once in a while. Contribute more to charity or even consider early retirement for more "me" time.

Compare with an open mind. There is always something to pick up.
