Let the postings here be an awakening because one of the strange things in this world is... the average guy does not even know how rich the rich truly are.
You talking about the ministers who are going to be faster, betterer and cheaperest?

Makes me wonder are these posts meant to encourage ppl or to rub more salt into wounds.

no idea what my exit options are. my hours r great but i feel like i dun have a plan. i intend to get married within the next 3 years, and what im earning now just doesnt cut it

argh
So what do you want to hear from me?

Option 1:
"wah you are earning alot already le. I m in my 40s and only earning 8k/annum incl bonuses. Kudos to you. You are my GOD! You are very x 10 capable! Wish i have that pay, etc..."

How's that feel? Boosted your ego already?


Option 2:
"wah you earn so little how u survive? Yr pay is only 10% of what i earn. Better don't get married la, u will be in big financial distress. Ppl at your age are earning at least twice than you, etc..."

How's that feel? Got consoled or got smacked in the face (as you wanted)?

Moral of the story, pls don't post senselessly...
P.S. I don't know what you are trying to achieve here

I was the one who posted this. It is not that I don't believe his pay n achievements nor I am jealous of it. In fact I applaud for his achievements.

The thing here, to alot of ppl in the lower or middle bracket this is relatively a gd amount. It might be even equal to income of 2-3 households.

Now if you find that 4.7k per mth is low and you are in your crisis, are you implying that all lower income ppl including me ought to put to death?

The post starter is saying that his contract is ending soon but couldn't find a job at the moment. And here we are having ppl holding a 4.7k per mth saying that he is in his crisis. So what shld be a good income 10-20K/mth or > 1 mil per annual?

Ppl like me w/o much capability is trying only to make a decent living. Ppl who can earn 10, 20 or even more, I certainly respect them because they have worked hard and deserved it.

I m not sure if u are intentionally trying to show off or trying to post for the fun of it. But pls pls, next time when u post pls thk abt of others who are earning much lesser than u. Not everyone is as capable and fortunate as you are, given your current situation.

Do you what is a crisis? i.e. your bank account is gng dry, you have or gng to lose your job and you have a to have a salary coming in every mth to feed your family and pay loans and bills. If you don't understand the meaning of crisis i suggest you find the dictionary.

Pls be satisfied with what you have and stop rubbing salts into others wound.
