Unregistered This forumer probably did not do well in Maths.

3000 x 1.065^10 x 1.1 x 1.085 cannot be 10K.

Should revise your Maths first! haha

How do you explain that instead of just claiming you work in a Ministry? I also work in a Ministry before 3 years ago and I never see 5-8% of consecutive merit increment every year.

Unregistered But reading CSLee's posts makes me feel good. He really has the HDB dweller's mentality.

This is our next opportunity fund waiting for next major dip and capitalize on it. Although I earned less than all of you *when I was at your age*, not sure if you can do the same for your batch after 10 yrs.
