My early 30's friend in a shipbroking company in Singapore, he is earning $8-9k/month... just got a bonus that was in low $100k.
Been working there 6 years.
10 years ago, he always eat at food court and never ordered any drinks to save money... I even lent him $5000 when he was in financial trouble.

Now, he has moved out of his parent's HDB after he bought a condo 2 years back in bedok reservoir area, he just bought a BMW (was driving Toyota yaris) early this year and after getting his bonus he just bought an AP royal oak offshore.

Damnit. How do I get into shipbroking?? I am only getting $6k/month at my marketing company and only 13th month bonus... I am 31. is it too late for me to join?

I have 9 years of marketing experience but I know nothing about shipping...
