JLKL advance rental means you pay up front one full month rental? get extra $60 correct? That is abt 3K+ ... my wallet not so full...probably can do that after a few months.
Brothers...how abt our Medisave contributions..per mth how much we need to set aside to be safe?
advance rental payable on 23rd.. they will offset yr benefit and deduct the outstanding amt by giro..where got 3k? (97.37 x 31) - 725 = 2293.

1.8 is currently about $97 , cos most is one year old .The older the Wish , the cheaper it is .
By $2 yearly .
2.0 is nett $105.93 .
Actually i got no choice to hire a 2.0L .
I never thought of 2.0L , was given a chance to Super relief one , then hirer told me he intend to resign , i said what a waste , why not i take over , such a lovely machine .
It more or less the same .
Just that 1.8L can travel only average 230km for me .
2.0L can travel up to 280km minimum , some lucky ones got at 320km .
I would recommend a 2.0L .

This CPF thingy very lay chey...but bo pian ... thinking about buying my own place so got to plan for the CPF contribution thing. Insurance ... maybe buy a simple 20 year retirement plan.... abt $100/- per mth.

Buy insurance when young , the older you are , the more expensive it is .
I bought it at 31 , i invested 10 years liao .
Per month $225 , chicken feed as far as cabby is concern .
By 55 , my payout is lucrative i would say .

It's one of the toughest task when driving a cab .It is so difficult to buy one flat now !! So expensive , cabby where can afford mthly instalment of now $800 at least , cash , for the enxt 30 odd years ?
Cos u need to submit 3 years IR8A also , *sigh* , $36000 a year ? And pay $900 taxes ?
That's why i mentioned before , if your wife not working , and haven't got a flat yet , dun be a cabby first !
Buy a flat first , then slowly become a cabby .
I was lucky , i got a flat before i became a cabby .

Younger time enjoy already...now suffer for the sake of family.... 25yrs at least..
Don't dare to aim high...make enough to pay for 3 room flat and support family can liao.

Hello, been reading this thread and it sounds like the advice is to drive a cab when a person has gotten most of his priorities right and is driving a cab to ‘pass time’ and ‘earn some pocket money’, from what poolman is saying. I would appreciate some thoughts from you folks about my situation. My flat is paid up and don’t owe PAP any more money. I am in my late 40s, I am also dissatisfied with my job and wants to quit. But of course the minister of home affairs asked me, do you have a back-up plan? I say be a td lor and she say u sure or not and after reading the forum, I abit like not so sure but still want to try it out. But my family lucky, cos when both of us were younger and working we saved like crazy, so we are now quite okay. So I thought of taking early retirement and then be a TD to earn some pocket money. But then a little scared, maybe because after working for so many years, don’t know what to do if I stop work and so I thought maybe be a TD, flexible time, own time own target. I do understand all our situations are different, but I was thinking if someone might give me some thoughts on my situation. Many many thanks

Fully paid your house ?
Civil servant ? Police ?
Wait for pension la .
Can la , drive past time , ease up your life , u have been working too hard for the last 30 years at least .
To drive a cab , in fact , it's quite a healthy lifestyle , as long as u remain discipline . Enuf sleep , enuf consuming of water , enuf rest , enuf food , smoke less etc ....
U should be okay with some decent income to bring some decent food on the table .
And not worrying about tmr , cos our tmr will be better .
U'll have more time with family , esp Saturday and Sunday .
My opinion .
But of course , if can work there @MOHA , work until they kick you out , golden handshake , whatever shake they give you .
Then u slowly go and be a relief with good pensions in the bank .
Dun looked for trouble to be a hirer .
Unneccessary to become a hirer , cos so many taxis out there .
