I thought the trend now is to spend on experiences. Especially since our homes are small, and most of us have given up collecting here in SG.

It's not just you guys in 50s and 60s.

Even those in their 30s and 40s are like that now. 

 

And I thought it comes with age.  Lol

I think some still do... Collecting Rolex is a favorite hobby among the more well off here.  Heng i don't have that hobby.

Funny thing is that i still have many ex colleagues who like to feed me with latest news.  News from within and news from the market.

eg. Who resign, who promoted, who takover who etc…. I cant be bothered really but i am thankful and glad that they trust me enough to share with me these things.    
 

Lately another institution kept knocking on my door.  Last year knock, this year knock.
If i cannot fight off the money, then i might get sucked in……. no….no….No……

Obviously they didn't think your last role is truly the last and they might be right, got institutions knocking on your door.

Wahahaha....

Think my friends collect wine. But stored in UK/European warehouses. When want to drink then ship over. Lol.

Rolex very boring bah unless you really like watches. I know a lot of people who into it for maybe 2-3 years, then stop.
How many wrists you have.

Someone once asked me, "how to learn to quickly let go when one can actually retire?" . These are the people who can retire, but choose to continue to work because they cannot let go of their authority, power, title, ego, etc...

My answer is always...."Begin with the end in mind".  This is the from the "7 habits of highly effective people" book.

What it means is if we  suddenly RIP, what do we want our close ones/friends/relatives/etc to remember us as?  Do we want people to remember us as :

- a loving dad/son/husband to his/her family members? One that is always around when other love ones need help

- a hardworking workaholic/boss?  Very successful but seldom at home...

- Always ill and go check-up all the time? 

- a grab driver/delivery person? 

- an active volunteer person for his/her community?

-etc, etc....

When people start thinking of their end goal  in mind,  perhaps it will help them to let go and pursue whatever they want to be remembered as.

Wah, I never regret I can't wake up at 18 leh. How I wish now I am over 60 and enjoying my fruits that I have planted. Now I am still working and enjoying. But I think if there comes a time I am not wanted, I will be having lots of fun golfing, cycling, fishing with no commitment leh

Currently still got a little commitment that I not stopping yet. Once stop, I think I don't even have the time to be in MCF liao 😂

Of course there are the speculators.

For most people it's just phases of interest as with most hobbies. 

Eventually they all start wearing Apple Watches anyway. LOL
