Ha....if the reason why you are crying is because of your stretched resources, from buying
the big luxurious bungalow, then it a whole different story.
Bottom line is: Live within your means.
Person A: Borrow to the hilt to live in a condo and drives a BMW.
If he loses his job, he's a goner.
or
Person B: Debt free. Lives in a HDB, drives a Toyota.
Has 2 years of savings to see him through a recession.
For me, the choice is clear. |
eerrrrrrr..... you forgot Person C & D. Remember, there's always 4 options in MCQ.
Person C:-
- Debt free.
- Live in a Good Class Bungalow
- Have an account in the Swiss bank
- Have 1 Ferrari, 2 Porsches & 1 BMW
- Mistress in Taiwan.
Person D:-
- have his/her own plot of land. Quite big
- Grow own food.
- Raise own livestock
- answer to no one but God
- no rat race.
- spend more time with family and friends
- lifestyle at a slower pace.
Choice is obvious. I choose to be Person D. Unfortunately, it's not applicable in Singapore. Solution? Migration. Where? I'm thinking of Indonesia.
