All these “educated” people always act high and mighty and follow their friends in their inner circle. She probably just followed her friends and invest without any research

she wanted to work full time but her husband asked her to spend more time at home at kids because its not good leaving the kids to care of maid and grandparents all the time

I think her husband makes around 850k a year plus her income of 150k they both make 1M combined

1m a year is the goal.
I regret not marrying another doctor.

The 500-600k GP bro who work 2+ days a week sounds better to me.

Seems that fewer and fewer people keen on residency nowadays, even for the competitve ones other than ENT, Opthal. Any1 have any info on this?

I recently consulted my financial planner from HSBC and he did a chart analysis for me. I was asking him if its more worth it financially to take up a residency offer vs coming out to work in aesthetics


he calculated that most of the time the aesthetics path is better off. basically you can invest earlier and your assets will compound fast. this will outweigh any potential increase in salary that specialisation brings you. unless if you land up in a lucrative speciality like ENT/Orth/Opth/OBGYN then its worth it.

I think if do aesthetics well then aesthetics income can be not too far off even private specialist income if u own ur own clinic.

Lol. 废话.
He can forecast how successful you will be doing aesthetics meh?

For specialist in private sector, how many can earn 1M and above. Singapore has around 2k specialists in private sector. What % will earn 1M and above ?

Think about it, procedural and surgical SC make around 600+k. If they bother to take headache of going private, work longer hours more risk, etc then must be a bit more at least
