take home 2-4K a month, spend 1K+ on the car per month.
then if u lose your job? suck thumb?
if u wanna quit? u are stuck because u die die gotta pay for a car?
i might as well spend the 12K+ that i put into the car every year and put it into a decent investment earning at least 5-6% back.

quite a lot.. coz he's been in service pretty long...i think his cancer treatment and his being mollycoddled by the senior management + being the mindless runner of Mr Parkinson has affected his grasp on reality... he has a shitload of things to do but a temp could do all that, and they're all pretty mundane and brainless things... like changing lightbulbs, printing and handing out forms...
i think between Mr Parkinson and him, on the basis of being unwell and a recovered cancer patient, HR has kept them in that section since 2003...
now the previous No.2 has thrown them into my section, and the current No.2 has instructed that the whole place they were looking after has to be revamped.. that is, torn down and reconstructed, they're going to be swamped with work.. we've got a new officer to actually do it, but we foresee Mr Parkinson hindering the whole project instead of helping...

FOURTEEN WORKING DAYS. I have to wait for a reply from CMPB to tell me if my deferment is green light or not. School starting soon leh.

As you can see the majority don't think that way
For a lot of youngsters the 1st thing to buy on their list is a car.

The new staff is amazed that how I manage worked on 1 desktop, 1 server, 1 laptop at the same time... tat's 3 monitors + tons of notes, papers on my desk to refer to...
@Cassie: Well, the marriage went smoothly already...
@Ah Bear: Our team have to do filing but everyone is trying to siam the work... Afterall, it's extremely tedious and they cant get the budget to hire a temp... I've did a suggestion to convert everything to e-filing though... Then again, they are fighting for budget to get a temp staff to scan ALL the files... Budget aside, I wonder if anyone even wants to do scanning the whole day EVERYDAY -____-

When I leech money off NS, first thing I do is call up my friend in AIA to help me open a savings plan!

it's the SAF...Stupid And Fucked-up
what probably happens is that the NSF will receive it, then go for a canteen break
the next day, he'll give it to his chief clerk who will go for a canteen break..
the next day, the chief clerk will instruct the NUSAF clerk to process it... the NUSAF clerk will go for canteen break
the next day, the NUSAF clerk will tell the NSF clerk to process it.. he'll then go for a canteen break...
... and so on and so forth...
... and somehow, if a miracle happens, it'll actually get processed

one uni student was talking to my friend (the supposed drummer cum analyst at barclays), she said "when i finish uni and get a job, i will buy a car"
my friend says "you don't know what you are talking about"
the girl says "ok mah, if earn 3K, can afford a car"
my friend says again "you still don't know what you are talking about"

I think anything less than a stable 5k a month is a no go for any sort of car in singapore .....
I dunno how fellows I know making 3 plus 4 a month can drive a spanking new lancer EX or mazda 3 and still manage ......
but then it's not about those chaps really ..... it's about the hordes of fellows driving mercs and beemers around .....

AIA lost money for me.
nabei.
i'm using manulife + personal overseas investments for now.
i signed up with manulife because i could throw in a lump sum and draw money anytime i want... i've been adding occasionally and buying more funds to gain more.
AIA's lumpsum requirement is higher, at that time i couldn't afford putting in that amount. either way, i lost money with them. tamade.
-
Okay...
time to knock off...
Maybe I'll bring my mom to everton de tze char to eat... they got the best san lau hor fun in singapore IMHO...
Heck... I seemed to know every possible makan location near/on SGH due to my previous work there

I don't know how your plans work, but he's got this plan for me, youths/student plans, flexible enough, with (to me lah) good returns in that given timeframe.

i will not get a big bike or a car until my passive income pays 100% for it.
if everything goes really well, then that should be in 2-3 years time, muahahahaha~
at most tahan 10 more years and build more funds.

i made sure i had enough to pay off the car as soon as possible.. because i need the car to protect my back from the hordes using public transport...what i don't get is how come people can keep changing cars?
KNN like Mr Parkinson.. from what i heard, it's his accursed family which makes him work (really.. the bastard family actually MAKE him work instead of letting him retire because they "need the money")
and since i've been here (4.5 years) he's changed cars 2 times already.. each car is not the cheapo type car i have.. if i'm not wrong, he's driving a Nissan Cefiro or whatever 2 litre or 2.5 litre car...
and the guy has Parkinson's Disease, a pinched nerve which he went to surgery to correct, and he walks with a goddamned walking stick if he's not in a wheelchair!!!

you still gotta choose the funds to invest in right?
mine was an investment plan, not much of a savings plan.

Ah, mine got a minimum monthly 'deposit' of sorts. It's more of a savings plan.
