They are more focus on ur marital status and comparing kids

The moral of the "Fox and the Grapes" story is that it's easy to belittle or disregard something you cannot have, essentially meaning people often pretend not to want something they can't achieve, often making excuses to mask their disappointment; this is often described as "sour grapes" behavior.

edit: that was also the contributing reason why bite bullet and re-pick up driving . I dont do certain things is for society better good. i am tired of foxes attitude people around me

Treat as childcare issit. Then can take breather. I suppose all parents have done this at some point.

Some ppl ok to spend >50% of their pay on mortgage ma.. Or they have alot of cash for downpayment and take lesser loan

5rm EC is how much? Got 2m?

that too for me. but also i really like the things i do now. this is sthg i was pondering about when i was in my young teenage years.

unfortunately what i did not expect was the stress and focus i needed for these specialised work, hence the higher pay and i need to readjust my lifestyle for that. such as hiring PT cleaner, spend $$ for delivery. $$ to body build certain core muscles to carry heavy equipment

now that i lightly mention i needed to move, then i get judge first, not asking why i had made that decision.

edit: my boss and my older colleagues are at their twilight years. so i really would like to learn as much as possible from them before they decide to hang up their boots. my older colleagues are at late 70's looking like mid 50's . one of them this year is 79 years old. my peer say he plan to move back to spain when the crew retire for good

Makes sense but quite recipe for disaster.

Own house really shouldn't rely on parents or even in laws.

This is the kind of nasty angpao that I will not hesitate to give away. Want to give , at least give with blessing. Give like people owe you like that

5rm EC is more than 1m downpayment, maswell buy full condo or landed

 

[TonyDelPiero]

No. Cpf deduction increase mah cos cash is lesser mah

huh you all never increase the deduction meh

Only those who earn 8k and above for ordinary wages.

With that said, wah you really speak the truth. No wonder, you cannot leave your current job like that.
