what should i do? i dont want to go back to the nasty, hypocritical, corporate world.

what job should i do? taxi driver earning $7k pm or tuition teacher earning $10k pm, which is better, not only in monetary terms but also social standing? both are noble jobs.

I had 2X what you had at the same age, but how did SRS get to 250K? You would have contributed just about $130K if you've been contributing the maximum since the scheme was introduced. Have you been punting stocks with your SRS?

In Singapore, if you don't live in a private property, you are actually a nobody. That's a reality. Noone will tell you this in your face in the real world. We are now in an online forum so people will tell you the hard facts.

Those who live in hdb - nobody
Those who live in condo - almost there
Those who live in a landed property - you've arrived and indeed a somebody. Only 5% of Singaporeans live in a landed property

Work harder to be a somebody in your life

I am looking for a landed property somewhere in the Jurong Lake District. Upgrading from a condo. I'm targetting this inter-terrace at Westwood area asking for $2m. Hope to close at $1.9m. This is cheap as other places are selling above $3m.

not a good deal. i believe the landed property in Westwood is 99 year and not FH.

i would not advise anyone to purchase 99yr landed property, not even my worst enemy.

My 50+ yr old fren suffered a heart attack, spent a few weeks recuperating. Came back to work and not long after was retrenched. This after working for compnay for many years and often late into the night. Got housewife and young kid to feed. Luckily 5 room HDB already paid up. Thinking of selling off car, but family considered this as only luxury item left.

How to find another job at 50+ and somemore with a heart attack record?
