ordinary folks will just get ordinary pay... BUT a decent condo and a family car is definitely achievable for most ordinary folks.

manage your money well, and with minimal luck and lots of good health, you'll get there.

your current pay may be 20-40% less than that lucky chap, but if you're prudent with your expenses and a little clever with your investments, your wealth will be similar to his.

that said, to be rich, you need to be a tow kay.

working for others will lead you nowhere, unless you're a hotshot banker / trader / permanent secretary / minister (to me, lawyers and doctors are towkays in their own right), but places are so limited, competition so stiff and politics so ugly that being a successful small-time multi-millionaire towkay is definitely a much easier and less painful route.

my point is: if you wanna be rich while working for others, stop dreaming. go strive to become a towkay instead. otherwise, just be contented with that decent condo and family car.

you all are just workers 看一个人的脸色吃饭. he's a boss. though he still needs to kowtow to customers (his so-called "bosses"), but he can choose to ignore some of them if he's pissed. that's the difference.

all of us should strive to be "tow kay" one day, not "analyst" or "VP" or "Director".

My title is 'manager' and I manage no one. I supervise grasscutting and rubbish collection in the sun daily.
