How much did you made last year?

It doesn't matter how much one made last year, how much he saved and how much he enjoyed is more important.

i made a `hellofalot' of money but i donated all my increments to charities.
i agree with jdi77 that it is how much you save that counts, not how much you make. just like so, i save a lot of monies many years ago, and you might have forgotten it; when i received (very) good discounts on an apartment i bought from hpl. i bought it for my kiddo because he will not be in a position to be as successful as i am (ahem) and therefore i want to make sure i have the best of his interest in my heart. some made noise, but i ask you, `is it wrong to think of the future?'
btw, how much do you make, master q? you asked but you do not come forward readily with your moolah per annum first. like that, no good.

Just want to find out is money is the main reason why people in this forum are so unhappy with this country. I am still a student

Well below the National Avg......
Lesson learned - STUDY HARD....... or have a RICH father

No. For me not money.
The main motivation is to end PAP political hegemony.
You are still young, some of the things you still cannot feel it yet.

If money is not the issue, then I am sure you must be very happy with this country when you file your income tax returns right?
May I know what are your plans to over throw PAP?

There are many reasons why people unhappy other than money. You go to Aunt Agony forum and see how many of them unhappy because of money.
If you want to make more money in the future, you should donate more money to the needy and charity. You will see your money luck becomes better gradually. -

Financial freedom is not only about studying very hard and earning a high monthly salary.

money is still a pretty good indicator of success in Singapore isnt it?My observation is that, people who constantly like to blame the government are people who are generally not very successful in life. Anybody remember the movie Assassination of Richard Nixon? Sam Byke is a very good example of what I am talking about.

first, you say happiness, now success.
i have not seen the movie. any good?in meritocratic singapore, money may equal success, but not happiness. if one is marginalized, they would blame the dog if they can.

Success and happiness usually goes hand in hand. if you are not successful in life, be it relationship or career, chances are you wont be a happy person.
Actually I am very puzzled to why you say that Singaporeans are being marginalized, when the government is doing so much to help Singaporeans upgrade their knowledge and skills so that we dont have to compete in low skill jobs?

i am not saying singaporeans are marginalized, i am saying IF they feel marginalized. when you take what i said out of context, you distort the intent.
success=happiness? think again. i can see the PAP's machinery is working on you.

I dont think PAP does play a big part in our life unless if you are part of the opposition party. I think its our parents and upbringing that have the biggest impact on us.
Success is sweet.

your indoctrination starts if you attend PAP-run kindergarden. Otherwise, it's Primary 1. Your parents, well, sure they will have an influence. You may not have realized it, but directly/indirectly, PAP decide for you if you are a burden or asset to Singapore by streaming you in schools at various level throughout your education life. unless you are rich, you can't get out of that system. if you are considered normal-technical, well, be prepared for some singapore hardship. if you are gifted, you will be assimilated into the elitism world that will set your path towards prosperity. and like it or not, you have to do NS. by the time you ord, your path is well set for you. you are almost at the end of the PAP production line....
And trust me, happiness is sweeter.

A few of my uncles didnt even finish their secondary education, and yet they are all doing quite well. 3 of them are driving Merc, staying in big house and supporting a family of 5 to 6 and maid.
I believe it is our hunger for success that makes the difference. Pre-university education only provide us with the foundation for higher learning, it doesnt dictate our future.
How can you be happy when your life is full of doubt?

i made nothing the last 5 years....
