For a guy I think you're doing alright! Probably get ready to jump soon as you're near the 3 year mark.

Seems like you are on track to 200K savings by age 30. Well done.

I’m the original poster for post #113.
Still feel like I’m not earning enough and there’s no pay increment for everyone in my company this year due to the economic downturn. Else I would have been earning 4.8k now.
Can’t really find much jobs outside either due to the bad outlook. Anyone any tips on growing wealth?

At your level of income, best way is to go BTO. Everything else is too risky.

Out of curiousity, why are you giving your parents 1k / month? Does it cover utility bills / groceries etc? Seems like a lot since you are only earning 5k
