The gahmen is acutely aware of this income divide but is it doing enough to narrow the gap?

You only have to see how with high COE prices and yet people are buying cars, only this time they are buying mainly luxury ones. Also after so many rounds of cooling measures, property sales do not seem to abate. There are (many) rich people around. You are obviously on the wrong side of the income divide.

Question is how to get onto the right side of the divide?
Most people do not know their financial position and usually borrowed more than they should. But one can only push his luck that far...

One month earn 2k, 1 year save $0, 10 years save $0, 100 years still save $0. That's how I don't save any money in SG. Oh my.... seems to me that I am the only poor Singaporean on this forum?

Young man, you have just started in life. And you already have one more Rolex than me, as I have none.

Long way to go so work hard.
