Sometimes, i wish I'm an Investment banker or some other big shot, become a millionaire by 35 yrs old and retire comfortably by 50 years old.

I used to believe that old school hardwork and honesty will enable me to join the exclusive millionaire club but unfortunately, as i grow older & wiser, my belief is put into question.
I see a lot of hardworking and honest people plying their respective trade but yet they are not in the high-income status. I asked myself, Why?
I finally realized that to be very successful, you need a pinch of luck and tons of "connections", know the right people. Even being super smart is not good enough.

I totally agree that having tons of money does NOT guarantee total happiness and life here in only "temporary". Period. No point arguing about it.
But i always ask myself, do i want to cry & sob my sorrows away in a small humble HDB house or in a big luxurious bungalow? I'm not sure about you guys but i choose the latter.

Good luck guys!
