Are you opening cafe and doing airbnb for the money or because you enjoy running and FNB business?

I have also tried FNB and it totally sucks both from the amount of work needed, dealing with all the people and suppliers and managing costs and the profits are dismal unless you build up an empire chain of outlets and even then not guaranteed.

FNB businesses for the most part is the wrong way to get rich and be able to retire.

你不是一个能吃苦的人,you want your life in comfort zone,this is why you plan migrate out of singapore

It didn't seem that way when I first migrated. I had to start my work life from bottom. Worry about whether can even find work. I had so many rejection for work at fast food and restaurants and as cleaner.

Took me about 5 years to get more stable work.

If I wanted comfort zone I would have stayed in Singapore in my high paying job.

I was wrong in my predictions.
Singapore has excelled way beyond my predictions.
From a purely financial perspective I should have stayed in Singapore

Yes got other siblings.
I managed to get PR do parents to join me. (Very hard to get). Siblings also got PR. But later they all decided they prefer to stay in Singapore. So they went back to Singapore and have given up their PR.
Singapore is better for Singaporeans
