Dear orhanzi,

I resigned last Dec 2024 without a job and thought I could retire in style.

In Jan 2025 I was greeted with a series of economy shockwave primarily from trump administrative and unpredictable policies. I lost almost 50% of my retirement savings.

In April 2025 I was shocked and encapsulated with anxieties as I witness rising cost of living due to inflationary pressure, with no line of sight of a solution.

At around mid April 2025, I have tried sending emails, asking for assistance and job opportunities but I could not find any. I am still trying though.

My family and two children expenses are rising and I am under pressure. Savings is depleting faster than I have plan. I am living each day as it is, and I can only do so much for now. I already did my best.

Confidence for the future. More good years ahead... Let us take Singapore forward together.
Thank you.

You put your retirement fund in such risky investments?

money is seldom enough for average folks

those in power will not let majority have comfy life

their plan is always to make sure average folks need to suffer to live
