How much are you earning per annum?

This thread is getting ridiculous. 90% cannot be trusted.

If you think the posts are ridiculous you should speak to private bankers!

You will be shocked off your pants what some Ah Beng looking men are making. They may not be dressed in suits and work in shenton way but they are millionaires nonetheless.

I am a more enlightened and learned person. Also thinking of doing a PhD for my self actualization.

Congratulations to you. It is heartening to know of young people like yourself, who are selfless in devoting their good part of their youth towards serving the under privileged. Keep up the good work, young man. You are an inspiration to many, even old folks like myself.

Makes sense. Buying your groceries in JB can lower your cost of living, which is important for retirees.

We found a few condos in Woodlands in propertyguru.

not trying to rub it in but i honestly feel underpaid for what i do compared to my peers.

still, it is extremly well-paid, and quite the pay jump too!

May I ask which country were you in, which industry and sector and your job role?

coming 30yo this year..

working for 4.5yr in the IT industry since 25yo after graduate.

cash: 50k
shares: 18k

annual income: 57.6k

feeling the mid life crisis, and had been having the illusion of me myself now wasting my time away not changing job for more growth due to the fact that i'm 'locked' by the company's performance bonus.

just rejected a 67k senior position job offer due the above.

am i a loser?

You are not yet a loser. Losers are those who thought they earned enough and quit early in their career and found out the painful truth they actually don't have enough and are trying to get back into employment.

The biggest losers are those who are now unable to get employed and dependent on their wives or parents. To make things worse they are still unemployed in a full employment situation here where labour supply is tight.

You are definitely not a loser.

Someone I know is a big loser. He saved millions and wanted to retire at 60 but he died at 54 due to a road accident. His children fighting among each other for his wealth. His wife became mentally ill. So sad.

Yep, poor thing. But he is not the loser. The losers are the kids who wanted to retire early and thus are fighting hard for their share of their father's money. So sad.

And the biggest winners are those who earned and saved millions and yet enjoyed fulfilling work till their 60s. These people are usually good role models and looked up to by their children and grand children and society at large.
