Being a sole breadwinner is not easy. Nevertheless, I tried my best to make my family happy. My kids love swimming so I upgraded to a condo. Luckily I managed to sell my 5 room exec flat at a good price last year and using the sales proceeds of the flat and plus CPF savings, I managed to pay the condo in full. My family likes to be ferried around so I got a new Korean car recently, paid in full using my cash savings. I'm now in my mid forties, earning a humble $130k pa. Luckily I've been thrifty and hence able to be debt free.
