i agree with all except the first part.. i dont see why people that do not have good property should invest in cars.. as cars is something that the value drops quickly. it is certainly not the best investment.. unlike property, dont you agree? my main point is i think that uncle should invest in property instead of cars.Originally posted by gentlerock:Eh, don't look down on hawkers and food-sellers ok? Some examples:
I know this guy who sells pork in the wet market. Although he lives in an HDB flat, he drives a Merc S class (heard he didn't take a loan for it).
Some people sell kaya toast and curry puff....sell until open so many branches in Singapore and become public listed company somemore!
You see the Newton Circus hawkers? They wear singlets, shorts and slippers. Their customers are all in office wear. But after work, the customers take MRT home.....whereas the hawkers drive their Mercedes home (this was reported in the papers a few years back).
Years back, I actually knew this local engineering undergrad who wanted to go into the fruits distributing business after he graduated (at that time, the economy was good). This was because he knew someone (his relative) who was in that business and made more than most engineering grads ever would! -
Orhhhh....simple. He was waiting for the 5 years contact to finish (when you buy HDB, you can't sell it within the first 5 years).Originally posted by coffeeortea:i agree with all except the first part.. i dont see why people that do not have good property should invest in cars.. as cars is something that the value drops quickly. it is certainly not the best investment.. unlike property, dont you agree? my main point is i think that uncle should invest in property instead of cars.
Forgot to tell you the sweet ending of this story. He moved to some landed property later. hahaha.... -
Actually, its good to be your own boss, have freedom, even if you earn less. But the panic is when business goes down lah. Sometimes, I feel like giving up and just work for others....and just work like a robot from 8-5, then collect salary at the end of the month.Originally posted by 'm back:whith all the communications skills grad have (or anyone not a grad), might as well do everything alone (d man sure u will hav to when u r your own boss and have to oversee or do everything on your own) and reaps the profits instead of working for others getting the same pay every month !
The best, perhaps, is to have the best of both worlds. Work for people, but have a sideline. -
Or hor!!!! IRAS knows abt it or not??Originally posted by gentlerock:The best, perhaps, is to have the best of both worlds. Work for people, but have a sideline. -

see la. the blind rat following the other rats.

bo bian... if everyone has a degree, those who dun will lose out if they are competing to get a job... this is true in general... unless the job requires a specific skill which is not offered in uni... e.g car mechanic...Originally posted by nospam:see la. the blind rat following the other rats. -
come on la. it is more about eq than iq to survive. Singaporeans all too smart liao. but wat differentiate the successful is their ability to think out out the book. Look at all the haolian Grad who think they are KINGs and QUEENs with their "DEGREE". how to survive long?KNN not everyone academically smart one lor. then u mean wat? those poly ite grad sure die in future? Pls la. a degree is just a faster way to success. not a guranteed.

i nv said so, and i agree with ur last sentence... but not all u-grads think they are kings/queens, i have to refute that... i m juz saying that our society believes in meritocracy, so if got chance, most wld follow the uni path..Originally posted by nospam:come on la. it is more about eq than iq to survive.
