over 40s... if you were retrenched tomorrow...

[Karoon]

what would you do?

i'd probably enjoy the retrenchment money for a couple of weeks, then think about the kids, panic and take grab license.... or give tuition, or learn massage and target rich tai tais

while filling spare time sending resumes... sounds sad

you?

[Atonchia]

I heard one year in SG equals to 3 years in MY.

Maybe I go there and stay, my lifespan also increase 3 times 😅

[Enye]

become superman or aquaman lor...😔

or you believe in the fairy tale that after joining the brotherhood can still stay in fully paid and newly renovated landed, drive fully paid b&b glc, smoke $50 a piece cigars, trade vintage full gold rolexes and go europe for holidays as and when you feel like it?

Nowadays i hear most MNC give a month for a year, max of 12 months.

Not bad lah.  For most Singaporeans, i heard, can retire already?

Wah.. sort of same same for me but not 7... I HD Bee can liao..🙏🏻

[Ody_2004]

I very realistic de.. was retrenched when I 35.

Importantly mental strength must be strong.. alot of pple around u may make u feel that u r lousy so company decided to chop u.. colleague or "friends" may suddenly distance you macam u got SARS.. family members understanding and support important. Heng my parents and wife jin understanding.. never pressure me no doubt bank amount keep dropping like young man shooting his juice out! whahahahhaha.. lucky I never over commit to house car lah.. my CPF used to almost dry as I was jobless 3 years.. car can sell lah..

learn new skills.. err not those WDA skill future de lah.. those for bottom bracket people ok lah.. if you r PMET u need better equipped courses. at this point you may worry money no enuff  but reinvesting in yourself is the BEST.

Luck in getting the next job oso important.. those say NOT luck please lah.. you need connection no matter how big your academics and experience loh..

Ok enuff of my sharing.. going to the $7500 gross per month thread to get some INSPIRATION liao

Seriously at this age with mortgage bills , loans , childs education and if single income ..... it’s no joke if can’t get alternative employment within 6 months you’re finished, though it seems many take up Grab to tide over whilst scanning for some alternative job

Be like the guy in white aka Maserati Driver. The nickname satki or not?

Lead a life of crime as ah loong, run online gambling, can afford to buy a Maserati, zhng it until loud loud. Fines are like ikan billis, hitting a traffic police officer with his car and lie thru his teeth. He's still a free man.

Life is so exciting for an illegal money lender. Mai tu liao.😂

 

Now he changed his looks. More serious.😂
