Singapore Civil and Private Jobs
Civil Servants have the best of all world. The work of any agencies are stable, there is no retrenchment and many of the people can even work till 62 or senior management even more as advisor.
Singapore has changed so much where in private it is a dog eat dog environment and civil is such a safe haven. Work is stable and make bosses happy and successful that's all. What's a change! |

How to Measure Net Worth
Normally, one measure's net worth without including the property they stay in. Measure net worth after one has bought and owned his/her own property, eg HDB flat or private housing.
At 35, an average employee may take the first step to buy a HDB flat for a start. |
34 yr old couple, annual combined around 250k
Fully paid BTO HDB inclusive of CPF refund now worth around 800k Fully paid new car bought last year at 140k Around 300k in cash and investments excluding cpf Looking to upgrade when BTO MOP later this year. In casual conversations with friends it seems that people tend to think that car owners are ridden in debt and spending sizable of our monthly income on car expenses which is not true at all. But I didn't want to correct them and would rather keep our financial situation a secret. |
