How much are you earning per annum?

Congratulations on your success! You must be among the smart few who bought a landed property many years ago. Those owners who cashed out made millions of dollars.

Enjoy your peaceful retirement. No more rushing to work early in the morning and getting stuck in traffic jams!

I also plan to cash out and retire with my millions. LOL.

How I envy the older generation who profited from the propertyboom.

For me, I am just 30 years and planning to get married.

I will be burdened with a huge debt when I finally purchase my BTO 5 room.

I will be hand cuff to my job for next 30 years. Can't imagine the stress that I have to swallow.

Do we have a choice to live simply in Singapore??

Yes, by choosing to buy a 4 room or even 3 room BTO. But you chose to put yourself into bigger debt by getting a 5 room BTO. The stress you have to swallow was prepared by yourself.

You really think the older generation had it good? To every lucky "old generation" person who managed to profit from property there are hundreds who did not.

For example, just look at your own parents, are they proud owners of landed property of condo? How about your old aunties and uncles? Are they all landed property owners?

The other thing people dont normally share is the many years of hardwork and stress on the loans they had to endure before the payoff came.

I am sure you can see many older people out of work and running out of savings.

Every generation has its own opportunities. Often, people are too busy wallowing in self-pity to see the opportunities available to the, and thus miss them.

I am sure, 30 years later, the young people will say the same of your generation. Will you be one of those who rode the wave, or will you be one of those that missed the boat?

Why did you buy a 5 room BTO flat in a matured estate? Just buy a 3 room BTO in a non matured estate. Will cost you $100k plus only. You made the choice.
