Any working adult should seriously plan for their working life to be cut short unexpectedly in the modern world. Not all would be having a job until retirement age as wished.

In the younger days, one should save up gradually and build a decent retirement nest gradually.

I see so many max out their mortgage loan, car loan , whatever loans thinking their jobs are always secured until 60s. When a retrenchment hits, suddenly they are living paycheck to paycheck.
Yes.. Loan is 25-30y but jobs too bad... Lady luck might not be with you for 30y. With that conviction one should plan accordingly...

I expect garment to protect jods for sinkies above 50 before allowing companies to hire an employment pass holder.

Is this too much to ask for someone who has served his country for 2.5 years and in doing so made his country safer and more prosperous?
sinkies only when affect them then kpkb type.. and they continue to vote for status quo until affected by the pap policies :o

Mid 50s. Wife not working. 2 kids below 12 y.o. His AMDK boss toxic, pressure him till he resign.

Seriously, how they expect us to have chewren when they won't protect our jods?

Like this who feed the kids?
So that his kids can learn life lessons through the tough life they're going to face now that he lost his job ..



those with ivory towers of course say anything to get you to have chewren at your own cost so don't disrupt their life up in the towers. Whatever they said is solely based on personal experience bah..with their salary of course it's a fulfilling experience raising kids .

That's why think certain perspectives see local not really that developed. The people don't have job security and social security in term of family.

Mid 50s means already worked for at least 30 year. If bought hdb in his 30s or 40s the cost would be manageable and would have fully paid off. If bought condo can sell at all time high and downgrade.

Also can withdraw cpf already.

Take it as retirement comes 7-8 years early.

yet another boliao thread by TS. Does TS talk about any of his frens who are better off than him?
