How much are you earning per annum?

It is not surprising that Singapore property prices will continue to shoot up.

There are so many rich Singaporeans, as evidenced by the so many rich earners in this forum.

The average earners in this forum seem to be earning at least $200K annually, so assuming we have a dual income family unit, the annual income of a typical family in this forum is $400K.

So expect Singapore property prices to go higher over the next few years.

$84K a year is not much by the standards of forumers here

if you dont earn $200K per annnum, you are below average

in this forum, average earnings per person is $200K per annum

Any marketeers out there who can shed some light on your earnings?

I am 50 years old. Have been working in the financial services industry for the last 20 years. As I have not moved between companies, my salary remained quite stagnant for many years. The past 10 years have not been easy for the financial industry, with the so many crises we had to go through. 2001 dot com bubble burst, 2003 SARS, 2008 crisis and now the european debt crisis. Every time i am offered a new postion in a new company, my wife always said that i should not move as my current employer has been treating me well (except the pay) and i enjoy the respect of colleagues, yound and old. Now after 20 years, I realised (by reading this forum) that I am very much underpaid. Some youngsters here earn $300K easily in the financial services industry and these are inexperienced, "know just how to talk" kids.

Now I am really wondering whether it is worthwhile to continue working and earning just $120K per annum or perhaps I will be better off changing a new career, maybe as a real estate agent who earns $300K per annum easily. I have lots of contacts, rich people who were my bosses. These people can buy property like buying chocolates.

What should I do? What are my risks? Will I end up being a tax driver?

My net worth is only $1 million (property, cash, gold and stocks).

Please advise.

Are you really sure you can even make enough to get by as a property agent? Many agents are already quitting this industry. The grass is always greener from this side.
