Own business. 5m / yr

Nowadays even combined income of $1m
Is getting common... Nothing to shout about

Compare to the troller here think we underpaid...
I am not even in the senior grade yet

Interesting post,

Doing some basic math,

20k gross, 13k gross = 33k+,

assuming a typical corporate job, maybe generous 5% pay bump every year,

that would put you both around

10k gross, 6k gross = 16k about 5-10 years ago.

yet you only have 100k savings...

1.2m investment condo, 1 room? which area? unless bought prior to year 2017 and in hard east side, there's no condo that's going for 1.2m in the past 5 years, something strange here... hmm.

Your last statement also makes 0 sense,

"spend very little on ourselves" yet you bought a condo close to 2m?

take public transport to work yet you have a car? huh? are you aware that taking grabride everyday, even at peak prices for 5 times a week, it's still 40% cheaper than owning a garbage tier car with a COE price from 5 years ago?


yea I don't know, your post seems very fishy tbh, I don't think you know how to manage your funds well, there's a lot of holes and saving inconsistencies. I would highly recommend investing in an accountant.

No car, taking public transport to work daily.
I only possessed a N level, and its pretty hard for me to get a higher salary job.
Think I might just switch job to become a vampire, just leech on my wife, suck her dry since her salary is much higher.

i pimp out your mum. 6m.

thinks a conti exec sedan is a flex. no wonder my salary at 25 is more than yours at 41 lol.
