When I knew my wife, she went to DBS ATM to do some banking for her dad.

I waited for awhile and nonchalently walked over and saw 7 figures. I think it was just one of his foreign accounts.

I think if everyone had a million (or maybe billions in today's standard) dollars in the bank account, everyone can afford for more vacations to relax and have fun rather than face the daily pressure of living, of upskilling, of keeping up with technology, of reporting to work daily and dealing with deadlines..

As of now, I don't have a million dollars in the bank. Living is stressful due to high competition, threat of layoffs, KPIs, deliverables, etc. Then dealing with unknown health conditions, random sickness, weird viruses, air pollution, micro-plastics in food, etc. Heck I don't even want my kid to be born on this Earth...spare them of the stress and madness.
I have millions in my another bank that I carry everywhere

This thread seems to be attracting alot of millionaires...or millionaire wannabes :D

I've never really aspired to be a millionaire, but housing prices are too crazy these days for a decent house in a decent neighbourhood.

I don't have a million yet, but otw

Since I am on this journey, I think i can safely say that even having a million won't really change you much

You'll probably just feel the same, wake up the same, and do similar things across the day

I mean, I was spending my off day yesterday playing video games and watching sports... the very same things I used to do as a broke secondary school kid.

Nothing against you but just wondering when you decide to have kids, did you ever think it would be tough on the family ? Or you knew but thought can manage anyway ?

Sometimes just wondering, it's not like we are living in the old days where having kids is the only way to a fulfilling and acceptable life, but yet many people our age will still wanna have kids but seems like they find out only later that it cost money ? I'm just wondering how is it possible with our fairly high educational level and the internet these days. Even speaking and seeing family and friends with children can tell it is not easy at all and from there can make a judgement right ?
