Plan for something 2% or plan for something 80%?) and FOMO ( only upside, downside simply ignored and cast aside) dominate. Anyway these are personal choices. Bottomine, whichever happens, answer for it oneself, not pass the bill especially to people around you ( your family or "loved" ones). Even though there is still some probability that a person might die suddenly, but i think chances still not high la. Many times you think you will die suddenly and yet you will live even much longer than you think. 😅 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, how much we spend is important. If you spend every cents you earned, even salary is $30k per month still broke. If you dont anyhow spend, even your salary is $3k per month can also richer than those high salary people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roh96 6th Gear June 20, 2021 Share June 20, 2021 Serious bo? 50% of high income earners face financial problems? Condo selling like hot cake, you mean what, 50% of these buyers have financial problems? People who buy new cars now, 50% of them have financial problems?

awhtc 6th Gear June 20, 2021 Share June 20, 2021 Expensive cars and condominiums are still selling like hotcakes during pandemics. I guess many did not factor in the higher interest rates, potential job loss or pay cut, and higher medical costs for themselves and their dependents (e.g. chronic treatments and insurance costs).

Windwaver Turbocharged June 20, 2021 Share June 20, 2021 4 hours ago, RadX said: Not surprising https://www.straitstimes.com/business/invest/1-in-2-high-income-earners-has-money-problems-poll Many respondents, who have monthly incomes of at least $6,000 to over $20,000, find that their earnings are not enough to cover their expenses. Yeah, not surprising but I wouldn't consider $6000 to be high earners in Singapore, maybe $8000 and above. Having said that, I know of colleagues that are traders and RMs having a monthly paycheck of 5 figures a month still have the need to borrow money from colleagues; not easy to know because everybody starts talking about it after some time. It's not a loan for investment, it's just because they ran out of pocket money and that's on top of all the entertainment claims Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starry Supercharged June 20, 2021 Share June 20, 2021 (edited) Honestly, how much does a person need $$$ just to survive? Problem is, people go for the most branded car, want the largest house, the most expensive watch/bag, want the best furniture, the most comfortable bed, etc....half of wanting all those is just for bragging rights. They earn high and they go for all these things. Things that doesn't worth a cent if he is gonna die tommorrow. Neither would any bragging rights save him if he is terminally ill. I would rather drive a COE car, live a right size house, eat zi-char, sleep on a average mattress, etc but have a life that is contended and stress free which helps in having a healthier and happier life.

ToyotaShuttle 5th Gear June 20, 2021 Share June 20, 2021 Quote Wealth management company St James's Place (SJP) recently polled around 1,000 Singaporeans aged 25 to 54 with monthly incomes of at least $6,000 to over $20,000 and found that close to half of them are worried because they do not have high savings. lol. wealth management company wants to manage your wealth for you so you have savings. ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
