打拼37年终于退休, 男子准备与妻长途旅行却突发心脏病离世。。😕

This is the dangerous false reassurance when people exercise, go for standard screening, and assume everything is fine because nothing obvious is flagged.

Most clinic consultations are short, so whether GP or TCM, people often receive broad advice like eat healthier, sleep earlier, exercise more and reduce stress, then take it as gospel truth for their own body.

The body can compensate quietly for years,

RIP

Whats the tests u recommend to test for metabolic health?

 

[GundamG]

RIP, hope u have enjoyed your life....

Accidents can happen that caused death. Disaster also can cause death. So better enjoy while you can. Don't regret when you faced death.

Chasing money over health..always not enough..choosing hawker, fast, convenience food over home cook less salt oil fry..excuses not to exercise.

Well, I think it's mostly a balance between focusing on earning money without sacrificing too much of your health irreversibly.

I think austere or not is subjective, but so long as you don't splurge on expensive hobbies or expensive women or expensive kids or medical bills or bad investments, how much can you spend reasonably anyway? Use Evian water to bath? Not reasonable.

Good point! All the best! Wish you are on FIRE sooner rather than later!

Probably why some of those hi-end stuff sound so bright. To compensate for their clientele's reduced hearing abilities.

The really bright one I encounter is Audio Technica ATH AD700..... the old school with bright purple color cup... too bad that version dun exist and mine the cable wiring cui already that is why I gave up buying any headphone with a fixed cable... especially if it is going to costs upward of $100++..... no reason to sell a headphone with fixed cable...

Unexpected things can happen, yes.

But that does not mean we ignore the risks that are already building quietly inside the body.

Enjoy life, but don’t confuse living fully with leaving everything to chance. Some regrets are not from doing too little, but from not checking earlier when there was still time to act.

savings Vs lifespan

That is what the doctors are saying. I've no reason to doubt that.
You are saying that doctor consultations are perfunctory. They also conduct checks, scans.

If you dont listen to the doctors, who do you listen to?

RIP

Never spend all your money too early….just in case you live till 90.

Go rental houses take a look…there are many old sinkies who had spent all their money too early..

Maybe a good balance is save 30% of incum bah and spend the rest.

Don't spend 100% or save 100%.

Just make sure enough $$$ till 90 …..the safest

Nobody is saying not to listen to doctors.

The point is that doctors can only advise based on what has been checked. A standard consult, basic blood test or scan may be useful, but it may not always show the full metabolic picture early enough.

That is why many people are told they are “fine” until glucose, blood pressure, heart disease becomes obvious later.

Listening to a doctor and understanding your own metabolic baseline are not opposite things. A better baseline can help the doctor give better advice instead of relying on generic guidance.

So the question is not “doctor or no doctor”.

The question is whether you are giving the doctor enough information to see what is really happening before the damage becomes obvious.

DM me if you want better answers, because this topic needs more than generic replies.

I have posted in a few threads.

If possible, retire first, enjoy. Dont listen to those articles or sexperts telling u no 2 mil, 3 mil, 4 mil cannot retire.

One person/couple does not spend much de. Live & eat simple. Enjoy what u have worked hard for decades.

lesson for those planning to start withdraw cpf at 70 and stop working to travel at 70

 

[mirukuboi]

That's why don't wait until too late

But what if you cannot live beyond 60?

 

[kopiOkid]

Sorry to hear. RIP. Think singaporeans are well travelled and should not have such regret...

Singaporeans and those leeches staying in Singapore are expert practioners of escapism travel.

 

[Checkyrmed]

Exactly. Diabetes and heart attacks are not random isolated events. They are downstream subsets of long-standing metabolic baseline dysfunction.

Singapore did not become diabetic overnight.

If 1 in 3 Singaporeans may develop diabetes in their lifetime, the question is not whether they had time to correct the path. Most had time. The question is why they waited until sugar finally failed.

By 2024, about 699,100 adults in Singapore were already living with diabetes. From 2011 to 2024, Singapore added roughly 272,400 more adults into the diabetes count, or about 21,000 more adults every year on average.

That did not happen suddenly.

The system is effectively designed for Singaporeans to fail first, because basic population-level screening usually waits for fasting glucose, prediabetes or diabetes to become obvious before the deeper metabolic problem is taken seriously.

That is the old habit.

Wait for fasting glucose to rise.

Wait for prediabetes to appear.

Wait for diabetes to become official.

Then react.

By then, the metabolic breakdown may already have been building quietly for decades.
