He told me his last drawn pay is 6K+ basic pay in Big 4 (I saw his payslip)

Got a 20%+ pay hike (sighted his job offer) when he joined an MNC as Senior Mgr to do FP&A after his 6 years in Big 4. ​I reckoned he is earning ~ 120K per annum (with bonus included) now.

Unlike me, I did okay for my A level and got into Big 3 Local Uni and did a 4 year honors degree.
As compared to him, I spent 2 more years for my uni tutition fees, opportunity cost of losing 2 year income.

End up just only hitting close to 90K p.a. at the same age as him at 29 years old.
