wtf ? I was just like you, afraid of shame. However, whe ni was retrenched when I was 40. I was lucky enough to inherit a landed pty from my parents. Life is good now. No more office politics. I drive cab from 7am till 2-3pm. Objective is to cover cab cost + $20-50 bucks a day for living expenses.
FYI, am a degree holder with honors. Nothing to be ashamed of. Life is great. Renting out my
HDB flat for $3K/month.
