didn't know that you already made enough to retire in ipoh and not need to work anymore :huh:

 

Thinking of going ipoh with my gf, and probably stay there for good.

Renting out the hdb, using it as a passive income.

Probably find a job or start my interest in ipoh.. [;)]

 

Any brothers also shared the same stress?

Used to drive up to Muar often and stay at this rest house. Everytime I was there, I felt so relaxed and stress free. Life is slow and people actually knows one another in this big town.

 

So much for first world huh..........

this is jus very normal in a city AND chinese environment. like to compare, like to compete...

the sooner one can see past all these, the sooner one can b liberated from society think.

 

we can chase and chase but this is a capitalist economy and average pple only lose. at the end of day, most end up similar to our parents time. stil one hdb one B&B car rite? but worse, lesser kids, more stress, less time.

Well, it goes to show that there is something wrong with mankind in today's fast moving and ever evolving world. Ever get the feeling that this world is heading south with all the serious global problems that we and our children are facing?

This world is living on the Edge.

Rewind a few hundred years ago : Your Great Grandfather buys a house with savings and have some more for rainy days.

Then 100 years ago : Your Grandfather buys a house with savings and little money left in the bank.

Then 50 years ago : Your Father buys a house using 50% savings and 50% loan for a few years from Bank

Then 25 years ago : You buy a House using CPF savings and the rest loan from HDB 10 yrs

Then now : You buy a Condo using CPF savings and the rest loan from Bank 30 yrs. + you are living off the salary you have not earn in the future, NOW.

 

When you try to scale back from spending further future salary to not so further future salary, the Economy will suffer from reduced GDP, you may lose your job. When try default on your payments, the world economy gones into a Tailing spin that can Bankrupt many countries.

 

This is the world we live in : To push yourself to spend more and more of your future income to sustain the economy.

Its soo nice to be Elite in this scenario...

yeah.. i don't know if it's me.

 

the air smell totally different here and elsewhere..

here, everyone looks so busy and occupied..

 

day and night, people working their butt off..

 

take cny for example, people celebrate 1 week while in sg, probably 1 or 2 days at most.

we lost that feeling, especially for people who are born in 70s..

 

are we too blind to see or pursuit endless materials

Read this somewhere...

 

Life' outlook

 

There is no need to search too deeply. Wisdom is found not in the complicated and the profound, but in the plain & ordinary.

 

One can find contentment, their inner harmony and their way of life, by following the Nature.

 

Nature leads one to their way.
