Seriously our toto total sum is so pathetic. Other countries having the sim 100mil, billion...

 

49 vs 69...then the amount of bets collected each draw is heaven and 18 level basement...😁

If civil servant, sure can hang on till 65 no problem. But if private sector got to be careful, anyhow can get retrenched.

True, private sector not safe. I have known some MNC even have operate in SG for over 20-30 years plus, can still closed down their operation or retrench due to sudden poor business.

So even a person has work in a company for 20-30 over years might still lose their job.

This will happens when early early already bought a house and never upgrade. If not loan will continue to roll until 60s. Esp when house price is so ex in recent years. 😅

No leh, I bought my first flat when I was 27, and it was a 4 rm flat. Along the way I upgraded twice and "downgraded" once, still can paid off before 50 leh.
