What's makes you better off by having a $50m of GCB? While neighbouring countrymen also can build a beautiful bungalow at fraction of cost. What's makes you enjoy better by having $5m condos while average peoples in other country could also get it at much lower price. What's the point of having $1m asset in the bank and you're walking on foot, while those who has fraction of money in another country could have a car.

I mean this is life. You don't need to collect a lot of money and you couldn't even enjoy it until you die. A house is just a house, to protect you from rain and shine, a car is also just a car to move you from point A to B. You need to enjoy the life, which by itself is a blessing. Having more zero in your banks doesn't make your life different from others. You just need all these basic things as normal and most important is happiness, joy, and health.
What low quality of life in Singapore? Most of our neighbors dare not buy landed property in case they get broken into and robbed by criminals carrying parangs. Or go collect car in shopping mall and get raped and killed. What's the point in being rich when you can't go out with your jewelry or rolex in case someone on a motorcycle chops off your hand to get it. What's the point in having a cheap proton car in KL if you have constant jam. But better to have car stuck in jam otherwise it's PMI 2.5 in hazardous range 365 days of the year.

Having more zeros in your bank account means fine dining, traveling to exotic destinations in style, first class medical care, best education overseas for your children. If you are happy at hawker center, trips to Batam and polyclinic and polytechic, then fine, don't work hard.
