  But if you want to push in ATM, banks, other offices, etc, etc, then I nothing to say.

  well obviously a lot of things require a computer to work, just using 1 case doesn't signify everything, you have to look at the overall, remember when the year 2000 was approaching and the whole world was in panic

  I'm not saying I will become rich like Bill Gates, what I'm implying is that you got to have a vision, a vision of where you want to be in the future, then work that goal backwards, meaning plan out your life, read Robert T Kiyosaki books and some other inspiration books first and understand what they mean. If you really decide to read a book from Robert Kiyosaki, get cashflow quadrant and business school, just a recommendation.

  It is in reply to your statement of

  please dont say you can live without a computer

  My mum can live without a computer. It is the other companies who want to provide services to my mum who cannot live without. There's a difference.

  And are you to say that there's only 1 single case (which is my mum) who cannot live without a computer?

  I'm on track to raising my side income to $1k a month on top of my full time job :D

  But it's not good enough yet because it is active income... I shall learn the trades first... then copy, modify and adopt an effective model :D

  Slowly slowly slowly... I will be able to reach passive income of at least $1k a month from stocks within 3 years
  because I say so

  I don't think we retire on an age in Singapore.

  We retire when we are confortable with the money we have left.

  Money is the determinant.

  than you can calculate how soon you can retire ;by calculating how much money you will need to earn and how soon you can earn that amount of money.

  since it is will be, they are projecting for the future. or their studies and calculating matter different from the site i source. there is no real way to know the average life span of people, until they all died. it is all sort of a guessing game, which is affected in real time by advances in medical care or the onset of epidemic and disease.
