Whether you live in a condo or a
HDB flat does not really matter as long as you are happy. If you can afford a condo, by all means, upgrade to a condo and enjoy. We are lucky to be Singaporeans as the majority of people here leads comfortable lives if they adjust their lifestyle according to their means. Look at the many countries in the world, just stop and ponder how fortunate we are. Be grateful and contented. Strive hard to improve your lives but not at the expense of quality family time and service to the community. Live a meaningful, balanced life.
