Came across this forum and like to share some inputs; self-employed
Variable income at 290K-400K annually
Property (ies) 3 condos rented out and 1 residence condo
Car(s) 1 Maserati Quattroporte and 1 E250 Cabriolet
Finance(s) isn't really accurate unless liquidate all properties at book value?
Cpf might have problem to withdraw unless migrate?
Fix-Ds stand at 1M, Savings at 4xxK and T-bills etc. at 500K
This seems to be the norm these days but filled with contentment.
For those who are curious on lifestyle, here is my sharing:
Vacational retreats twice yearly - any country
Dining at casual restaurants almost daily - seldom fine dining
Shopping at malls - not intensely at Paragon or boutiques
Entertainment at bars or ktv lounges - once a month, at most twice
Ciggarette intake pretty light - 2-3 days a pack
Nothing much, just a random guy on the street that you might bump into and he'll apologize in fear of offending elites who yielded million-dollar remuneration packages

To the post by Real Person,
Yes, your friend is considerably decent only and rich businessmen won't blink an eye nor will any executives ever consider his proposal. The blatant deception gave away his pole position in manipulating business just by 'facade' factor.
What uncle here can say is that you are in abundance and need not compete with 'rats'. Go ahead and establish your business with blinkers on.
Crudely speaking, what is Gtr? It's merely an ordinary 'sport' car but you are riding on Merc
Sbs bus or Volve for older series, no? Hublot watch where anyone can buy with a 2-month salary? Own 2 companies and you can set up another dormant/shell at $1+$315 registration fees? Aggressive holidays and lavish lifestyles with a big fat $0.00 in bank account?
Young man, you are very fortunate to learn people of such statue and by the grace of this virtue, you are bless to divert from such tragic extravagance.
Uncle M.K wish you the best and pardon for the poor language as I didn't undergo formal education
