- u have 10 yrs more working experience than your younger sibling who has abt 2 yrs experience, but he/she is paid about the same as you, in a different job, different industry.
or
- u have a older sibling who is earning abt $1k more than you, tho he/she has only about 1 yr more working experience than you.
Would like to know your opinions...
Money talk is always delicate topic, even within the family. Imho, especially Chinese family. Speaking from experience, people do calculative, especially siblings. Sad but true.
Best to keep this kind of information to yourself. If you are drawing higher salary, at best you invite envy. At worst, jealousy.
If your salary is something that will affect decision making as a whole, just volunteer information about how much money you're willing to contribute. Period.
Besides different industries pay different rates.

if any of my siblings makes more than i do, i will be very happy for them!!! :) i will only want the best for them. so, i don't mind.

i think it also depend alot on your family's metrics. some siblings are very close and this kind of salary difference won't mean a thing to them. true, i will be very happy too if my sister earns more than me.
i mean if she has higher qualifications and in a field that commands more pay, it is common sense that she will earn more than me, right?

Maybe TS's siblings think he looking down at them because he's earning more. Sometimes it's the attitude which TS show which cause the misunderstanding.

Life is more than money, and the value of a person is not determined by the size of the paycheck. Unfortunately in Singapore the reality is people judge you by your income. I'm sad to hear such competition and jealousy happen even between siblings. That is why the Singapore ministers have to give themselves fat paycheck to get the 'respect' of Singaporeans.
-
The sg ministers well trying to gain such "respect" seem to back fire the other way round lor...
Anyway, as for comparing incomes and status.. first it is really depends on the kind of industry u're in. This place were driven and narrow into certain industries which interest the gov only and eventually those industries get very good salary. As for other non-gov interested industries... the salary scale will always be in the limit.
I'm in the creative industry for over 7 years and I realized that no matter how well i do with my portfolio.. the salary range will always be the same anywhere around this island... ever heared of the term "poor designer"? Cannot even get married cos salary to low...
So as for now taken up a 3rd language and planning to fly overseas for interviews liao....

Younger must give money to elder right? so i just strech out my hand haha!
-
it's just a fucking pay cheque. what difference does it make to your life if you're getting 2k/mth vs 5k/mth? think about it.
-
I really don't think it's relevant to compare your pay with siblings. Does having a higher pay make one more successful than the other? I don't believe so. It only creates competition among siblings and most people know, money is root of evil.... why let that ruin your relationship with people you love?

we were having a family discussion.. my siblings asked abt my salary.. and i juz told them honestly.. bcos my earning will affect our decision making.. then they reacted very negatively.
If they earn more than me, i'll be happy for them. Why can't they feel the same for me, but turned sour instead? It's not that I contribute very little to the family.. I gave the most home allowance even before my increment.. and I gave willingly..
I really dun understand...
Tell this to your siblings, also tell them you said all that not to incriminate them. Then let them know how important it is for a family to be a team, I'm sure given time, they will come to understand.

You must MAR, is it? 2k/mth and 5k/mth DO MAKE A LOT OF DIFFERENCE.
With only 2k/mth, only enough to support yourself. No money to buy big house, car, hire maid, etc. Some girls may not even want to marry you with so little salary!
-
everyone mind la... but what can u do? you also LL, ownself no happy?
well, get over it lah, sometimes varies from luck and company. If the boss u work under dont appreciate u, you got talent also no use. No pay rise etc... whereas if your boss like you, give u pay rise.. etc etc... promote...
-
they not happy cos after knowing how much u earn they think u give too little to the family lor.. wan u to give mi right??? actually.. i also dun understand but this kind of slibings really exist one.. sianz..
