Jealousy and envy are diseases of the heart which reside in dirty souls.

They have black hearts.

You really missed the whole point. No one is jealous of your condition.

We had to interject quickly because we know you were going to follow up with your trademark self praising post.

We did stop it this time, didn't we?

28 years old. 80k p.a, 65k basic.

29 yo, uob back office, 60K pa

Sorry to say this. You have a sick heart.

35 yo male, poly lec 82k pa

Your sick, black heart is full of envy.

i am 40 year old, man. cleaner foreman. $19000 one year pay.

Mid 40s
Manufacturing manager
US MNC
Annual package 200k include bonus
Considered average

53, admin officer
69k pa

200k is quite good to me, what is above average? Are we comparing with sales related jobs?

200k for mid 40s in big mnc is really just average and it has nothing to do with sales or non-sales. The high flyers would have earned this level by 30.

54 & 53 yo married couple with two teenage children. Total household income 190k pa, saves 35k pa. Home is a 3 room condo in the OCR, paid up. Drives a 2 yo car, paid in cash. Total household net worth (condo + CPF + cash) 1.4m. No debt.

I Guess most managers pay around 12-13k per month? With 3 months bonus u hit 200k.

Going to director level is harder...

yea, managers doing regional or global work get another 5-6k on top, so 200k by mid 40s is slightly below average. but for manufacturing sector, pay is lower so maybe its consider average over there.

I see so what is norm for mid 40s?

Norm for mid 40s management role in manufacturing

Should be around 8k/mth

Or 120k/annum package I guess

Sorry to say this. You have a sick heart. It is evil to wish bad on others

You scared? LOL. Next time, don't start arguments. Instead of making envious comments, next time just shut up, old man. LOL.

Your sick, black heart is full of envy.

As I celebrate National Day today, I reflect upon my many successes. I am indeed very fortunate to be born here. Even though I came from a low income family, the many educational and career opportunities that I was blessed with were instrumental in allowing me to retire from the corporate world in my 40s.

With hard word and determination, I did well in school and had good corporate jobs. I made my fortune investing my big salaries and bonuses. I invested in the right properties and stocks at the right time and made millions.

Today, my investments generate good passive income that's sufficient to sustain my family. After selling my highly overpriced, old landed property and making a huge profit from it, I bought a new luxury condo and a nice, new car. Fully paid. Debt free.

Besides enjoying passive income from my investments, I also enjoy trading the stock markets. Trading keeps me busy. My wealth increased over the years. I am now my own boss. It feels good to be your own boss. I also enjoy doing charity work, helping the poor and needy.

It pays to work hard in school and in your career. You also need to choose the right high paying jobs. You then save your huge bonuses, invest intelligently and become financially independent. This is the formula for a successful early retirement.

Thank you Singapore for giving me the many opportunities and making me a happy, retired millionaire. I am now living the Singapore Dream!

Happy 51st Birthday!

Sick black heart. Envy.

Relax la brudder

Today is a blessed day. Nice weather.

As I look out the window, I feel blessed as I can afford to enjoy the morning, lying on my bed. I recalled my earlier days as a high flying corporate executive. Those days were crazy days, rushing early in the morning, stuck in traffic, rushing from one meeting to another, flying from one city to another, rain or shine.

But it was worth it as the hard work enables me to earn a fortune. I had plenty of cash to invest. I invested by big salaries and bonuses instead of splurging on expensive cars and other wasteful things. My many years of investments paid off extremely well. I'm now happily retired, my passive income from investments easily sustains my family. They are enjoying a good life too - living in a nice condo, going overseas holidays, driven around in a car, enjoying good food at restaurants, etc.

As a multi millionaire, I'm still busy, busy managing and growing my wealth, busy pursuing the many interests I had no time for previously, busy taking good care of my family, busy spending time with my very old parents and busy volunteering at charities and non profit organisations. Life is more meaningful and fulfilling. I'm healthier and happier.

In life, you have to make tough choices. Choose the wrong career and you can be working all your life. There are people who did not enjoy a single day of retirement. They died before they retired. That's sad.

Choose the right high paying career, work hard, be the best in your field, invest well and become a multi millionaire. You can then afford to retire early and enjoy a full life.

Poor guy, his millions made him go crazy and he now posts the same things on online forums daily. A good example for us younger guys here to learn from. Don't go crazy over money like this man.

Since you are still youngsters, you have many years ahead of you to work harder instead of making envious remarks. Have a positive mindset. Don't be strawberries and weaklings. Work hard to own a luxury condo and a car. If you own these two, you are among the top 20% of Singapore society.

We own 2 properties however we REFUSE to buy a car as it basically just increases our contribution to nation building. So disagree on the car bit for top 20%....

If you own 2 PRIVATE PROPERTIES, you are in the TOP 4%.

If you own HDB flat + one private property, you are only in the top 16%.

If you own two 2 PRIVATE PROPERTIES and car, you're in the TOP 2%.

If you own 3 PRIVATE PROPERTIES, you're in the TOP 0.8%.

I suppose this post/forum is to see how rich you are.

compare to the top 5 in Singapore:
#1 Robert & Philip Ng ($8.6b)
#2 Kwek Leng Beng ($7.6b)
#3 Eduardo Saverin ($7.2b)
#4 Khoo family ($6.3b)
#5 Goh Cheng Liang ($5.7b)

are you somewhere close ... ?

compare to Bill Gates (US$78.1 b), all of us here will be thrown off this planet.

but the usual mentality of a typical Singaporean is such:
"I don't care how rich these billionaires are. as long as I am richer than you, I win liao. You lose."

It's foolish to compare ourselves with the billionaires.

Just compare yourself with your past. If you grew up in a small public flat and now you own and live in a private property, then you're successful.

If you grew up in a bungalow but now living in a public flat, then you're not successful.

The journey towards your success is also very important. If you work hard and make an honest living, then you can be proud of yourself. However if you prosper because you cheat, lie, back stab people so that you can move up, then you're absolutely nothing.

You know yourself. Just take a pause and reflect upon your life. Have you contributed back to society? If you've not, then you should. It makes you a truly successful person.

You are right. Just try your best and be contented.

Thank you for the inspiration.

From the way you keep repeating these boastful paragraphs, some readers here may be convinced that you have moved up substantially in financial success. However I have doubt about your "family". They are mentioned just to add flavour to your story.
I believe you are basically a lonely old man with no wife or any children. Therefore your "family life success/happiness" should be non existent or zero.
