Me and my hubby profited S$1 mil so far from our owner occupied properties by buying and selling. Currently just bought a freehold terrace for S$3.4 mil but it is actually valued at S$4 mil. Once we sell our condo, we will have another S$1 mil in profits already. Total S$2 mil by investing in properties.

Really don't save much by working, only property investments give astronomical exponential gains.

With Population White Paper of 6.9 mil population by 2030, property sure huat.

can someone who completed residency while being pregnant share how your experience is like?
not sure how people manage exams, work, calls on top of being pregnant and taking care of kid.
asking my parents or father / mother in law is out of the question as they are also working and live very far.
just curious how people do it

However I do wish I had children earlier. Its hard during residency.

coz it is either now or IVF. IVF dont always work.

suggest u go ahead with first kid during med sch.
if need be, take a leave of absence.

even my yllsom classmates, some took leave of absence during med sch (even though just early twenties). those that took gap year during junior HO/MO also nv regret it.

med is comfortable lah.
again HO is 5k, MO is 10k, reg is 15K, ac/gp is 20K annualised

but as LYK say if you are a woman, quickly go bear children first.
the in laws can take care

i just attended a funeral. served the biggest hospital in the south for 30 years.
zero. i mean like really zero ex colleagues came.

very sad not to have children. your colleagues wont rmb you. your patients wont rmb you.
only your family does.
