Company replaced you with Pinoy and ah neh who could (or so we assumed) do your job for < $3k per mth. Could not find any new jobs due to your pay and age. End up driving PHV or doing Grab Food. By Age 55, completely deplete your savings due to your prior high expenditure. You are forced to sell your fancy Euro car at huge losses several years prior to make ends meet. Forced to sell your condo/landed properties at this age, downgrade to a resale 3 room flat. Your PHV income just not enough to cover even half of your monthly expenses. Wifey left you for a much richer and younger ang mo or PRC. Your children ignored you as well for they too were ashamed of your plight. You end up as a grumpy old man working hard for little money during your twilight years. This is a much more realistic scenario for sinkies right? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a very lame excuse to squeeze your own finances dry by buying a 7 seater just becos you have kids. Do not pamper your kids into believing its their given right to travel ard in pte cars since day one. They should be trained such that if they want a car, they need to know how to earn enough money when they grows up. If COE prices ends up at over $200k ea for Cat A and B at that time, well too bad. Our next generation just have to either migrate to other better countries or just shut up and submit to how things are in SG at that time. It's really a hassle when you bring a toddler out with a baby pram full of stuff. Have to wait a couple of rounds for the MRT lift as too many "unfit" personnel in Singapore. When u want to use the escalator instead, kena shoo-ed to use the lift. Need to take taxi and cannot take normal grab. Grab family more expensive and the bolster seat they provide don't know got wash or sanitise regularly or not, else later toddler kena HFMD.... a lot of considerations leh. I could go on and on about the pros of having a car when u have a toddler. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
