Girls also mah, my gf always want me to yang her and wants to be rich tai tai.
Don't gamble is good, but investing in shares is different from gambling in some sense. Investing is one of the few venues where you can have your money beat inflation, but obviously if you dunno what you're doing, investing is similar to gambling, but if you know what/why you're investing in, then it's all good. What people dun realize is that when they put money in the bank is also an investment. It is a very safe investment and earns you tiny interests, but there is still a minor chance to lose all that investments when the bank fails which has happened before, so I wouldn't dare say it won't happen again. I also think it's unfair to a certain extent when you categorize all singaporean men together. To solve a problem that we have always faced over and over again, sometimes, it requires a change of actions and thinking. If you put in the same input, and you keep getting the same output, maybe it's time you change the input so that you may finally get a different output? I mean from the way it seems, putting the blame on men will only tell yourself that you can't change the situation, you're refusing to take control of the situation, so if you are not in control, how do you expect the situation to change? If you come to a road driving a car, this same road always have a rock blocking in the middle of the road, so you drive around the rock and curse at the rock, chances are the next time you come across this road, you're going to curse the rock again. Do you think something may change if one day you decide despite it not being your problem, but you will push the rock to the side?
