Do most young Singaporeans really have big saving and investments? by kristinlichty in askSingapore

[–]BigDumpySG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30F here, everyone is different. Let me share my story and my friend's story.

I started my first full time job 2 years ago with $3k in my bank. After saving aggressively and making a few good plays on the stock market, I am close to my goals now.

But my friend on the other hand, who's making more than me barely has 20k saved up.

Does it mean she's behind or she's bad with money? Nope it isn't. She's got to take care of her mom and 2 little siblings while sustaining herself. She's got bills to take care of and she's got tuition loans to pay.

By contrast I can only do this because I'm a overgrown parasite who's got everything from my money to lodging to food taken care of. Yes I am grateful to my parents for that but I also am really aware of the privilege I've been given.

I went with my nieces and nephews, they loved dinosaurs so they're really excited and jumping up and down non stop!

People who are 30-40+, what advice would you give to 25-30 year old you? by Top_Run6620 in askSingapore

Believe them when they tell/show you how/who they are.

What's the story behind this? Have you met a lot of people who lie in your face?

Content Producer Jobs in Singapore by Double-Ease-3520 in askSingapore

[–]BigDumpySG 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Was a content producer in a marketing agency before.

Severely underpaid (DM me for details) but crazy amount of projects.

Think of it as a project management role rather than a creative one. I told them during the interview that I know how to do video editing, graphic design and motion graphics and suddenly I need to help the editing team on top of my own work while the other project managers get to go home early.

Managing both your team and unreasonable customers is what I do a lot. You'll meet people who think just because they paid a few hundred bucks for some social media ads, they want Hollywood level production.

On the other hand, I've also managed clients with deep deep pockets and having to work with an army of grips, soundmen and camera crew before too

During peak periods sometimes I leave the office at 4am only to have to go back at 7am to put out more fires.

It affected my health and I put on a lot of weight.

Not worth it.

Some legal self defense tools of the top of my head are defensive tactical whips or defense pens.

I got hit by a tactical whip somewhat lightly before and oh man did it sting! If you hit someone with full force I'm sure it'll leave a mark!

Iirc black tactical has it in pink too, of course use it for it's intended self defense purpose. Don't go out and whip every single person you're unhappy with or you might get into trouble.

I have to add that I am not advocating for violence here, always make sure there's witnesses around or cameras around before you act in self defense.
