A Typical Average Singaporean
-
I had some thoughts that I wanna share with you guys. The thoughts came out when I'm thinking of my future...
Firstly, I would like to have a career that I can support myself as well as my family. Before that, I would like to marry a girl who isn't too pretty nor ugly and start a small family with her. I hope that we can own a 5 room flat (and a sports car? xD). Back to my career, I would like to earn an annual salary of around 60k.
After having my career established, I can have some time with my wife and children travelling around the world, perhaps to Japan or America. I would also bring my wife for a ride during the night, speeding across the highway in Singapore. If my wife wants something within my limits, I will definitely get it for her. heh. Spending my rest of my life with my wife till our hairs turn white.
Perhaps this is the life for a Singaporean like me? -
so so bah . still not too bad
-
Not hv a stable career then start a family?
-

First of all, how old are you and are you really from China?Originally posted by ChairmanJay:I had some thoughts that I wanna share with you guys. The thoughts came out when I'm thinking of my future...

most ppl in china get married earlier than singaporeans.
it's quite ok to get married after 30 in singapore, but it China, it's considered late.
What trade/industry you are working in now?it's not easy to get 5k/mth in singapore, unless you have some special skill in certain trade, or you have high qualification+years of experience.
It's good that you set your goal, and it's not impossible to achieve it.
But you need to plan how are you going to work towards it.
The most important part, how to get a 5k/mth job. -
Is easy to get 5K per mth but is not enough to fulfill your dream, my dear friend. You need at least $1k to keep a car, $1k to pay for household expenses, $1k to pay CPF, $1k to maintain a child's school, ECA and other expenses. That left $1k for miscellaneous expnese such as give to parent, buy insurance etc.... Not enough.... S'pore standard of living really too high liao.

60k?
if you are not a professional, take up a sales job. -
hmm.. who doesn't want this kind of life?
in fact, everyone wants it better than the one u mentioned.
it's just that, this miserable island favours the rich, the powerful, the creative, the professional, the people with higher qualifications. therefore, if u wanna have a good life, u may have to work at upgrading urself, or go do some jobs that are commision-based like sales, marketing or promoters.
if u wanna take risks, go do MLM.

i remembered at a tv rally speech made by the PAP, they mentioned that we all need people who have the "never-say-die" spirit and those that r willing to go all out to upgrade themselves. i guess they mean it all along. OMFG.

Those who had mentioned that I'm from China, are you blind or what? A Typical Average S-i-n-g-a-p-o-r-e-a-n.
By the way, just to add-on, I think being rich is not the happiest part of my life. Personally, I think that the happiest part of my life would be getting a girl u love and spending your time with her, hoping that the time would just stop for us. Holding our hands watching the sunrise in the beach. Love makes one happy, thats what people say. Thinking that the lady who you loved will keep you companied the rest of your life and loving you back in the same way. Wouldn't it be nice? -

Perhaps this is the life for a Singaporean like me? Just annual salary of 60K you wanted so much things? Your performance bonus is 12 months then I say nothing more. Else your wife will be also working..then can forget about children first.
Well, it's a dream but needed more, else reduce your house or no sport car but sport bike.
Be more realistic and keep some for rainy days, because you won't know when the door is opened for you to step down from office. -
i don't, i find that kind of life boringOriginally posted by lonestar86:All guys will wanna have this kinda life..

That's nice, we all need family love.

In Singapore, annual of $60k is only enough for a single! (my opinion). And if u wana buy a HDB of $200k or $300k, better think harder! U r renting the flat for 99 years and ur descendants get nothing after that. Sports car? Can! Hyundai Tuscani counts?

That would be wonderful, really.

hahs. as for my descendants they'll work hard and earn a living themselves loh. even if I pass down my assets, they'll be gone within 3 generations. but if i'm earning 60k/year alone and maybe my wife 'll be earning 40k/per, that would make 100k/year. furthermore, we can do some investments? or perhaps I strike 4d or Toto. hah.
Sports car actually is not really practical in s'pore. maybe I'll get a car like toyota vios and modify it until it looks like one. -
ChairmanJay,
What you have stated earlier is your ultimate goal. Now, you should think and analyse how can you work towards your dream.
If you think you can, you can.

Your dream getting smaller and smaller each time you see more statement make by forumers. You are right to let the descendants to work their way thru..Unfortunately, in real world and singapore aspect, many childrens will ask their parent for financial supports when they really desperate..You will tell them to die, your wife won't. Utimately you got the fun, your wife bear the fruit of your fun..(No hard feeling)
Many good officers are no good investors, hence I wouldn't ask you to invest. Keep the saving for rainy day as I mentioned..else make your life easier will be good.
100K...is actually no much too when you had exceeded that..
