Just bear in mind there are millions of people in this world who are poor and living in slums or they are homeless.

As Singaporeans, we are among the very few fortunate people in this world to be able to live a comfortable life. If you own a 3 room HDB flat and earn a decent salary, you should count yourself as lucky.

I came from a humble background. Today I'm fortunate to live a more comfortable life. My family and I now live in a 2 bedroom condo and we own a small car. We lead a middle class lifestyle. Our income in total is $170k pa and our total net worth is $1.5m. We will be 50 years old soon.
