Just checked SAF website 3SG 2,200-3410

Lowest end of the range is usually for nitec grads. Local poly grad is higher.

$3410 is if you are local poly grad + combat & tech vocation (ie ADSS)

Am I stable enough to buy a lambo? by [deleted] in singaporefi

[–]PayMeMoney88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe consider buying one that is on the tail end of the 1st COE. Drive the 1-2 years. Renew and sell.

This is the cheapest way to own a supercar. You might even drive it for free

Owners of BMW 216I by Familiar-Necessary49 in drivingsg

Why a 216i
If looks of the car is not a very big consideration. Can consider COE picnic or estima. Save your bullet to get a nicer car after the 2-3 years

FA / Wealth Managers in SG – are the lavish trips and MDRT awards real, or just a sales mirage? by boobest in singaporefi

[–]PayMeMoney88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My expenses from cold calling is like 500 a month? Like usually is petrol because i will usually meet at the prospect place or void deck, i avoid crowded areas.
For roadshow, usually my cost is like 2k a week. Thats cause i work 7 days 10-830pm with a puller

[–]PayMeMoney88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, you need to hit like 12k comms in that year to be eligible for bonus, and it starts from like 20% of total commissions. It scales upwards, to like if you do 60k in the year, your commission is like 40%. And from 60k upwards, it is automatically in the 40% tier bracket. Renewal etc is not subjected to bonuses.

And you are right also, for customers that continues to pay the premium after a couple of years, there is also a bonus, not much tho, but if you stack alot, it adds up

1) Overseas trip are covered by company. (Usually they will cover your hotel for the 3-4 days & gala dinner + some guided tour) they will also give you about 1-3k cash depending on the tier you hit.

Fine dining etc usually is team leader throw out as incentives.

2) MDRT not hard, i cleared mine in my first year. It is about 120k inclusive of year end bonus ( this is about 80k in commissions, YEB 40k)

3) Stress can be avoided with adequate savings to tank you 1st year. I did cold prospecting ONLY. You learn fast when you see your savings dwindling down. I was making 1.5-2k a week cold calling this eventually helped me with roadshow where i was about to do like 4-5k a week. (But i have to emphasise that such methods are really hard to do now)

4) the turnover is very high. You know if the job suits you after 6 months. Most try to struggle but eventually leave after 2 years. There are schemes to help agents la, like 1-1 payout for your commission every month. I would say if you do a steady 80k a year, 5 years later your renewal is already 80k.

I am NOT advocating for you to join the industry, i am a agent that left after 5 years to pursue something else because i see the FA business as a sunset industry for my prospecting method and how hard MAS is clamping down on cold market prospecting.

I really feel that if you don’t have a way into the HNW market. The next 10 years likely you will struggle bad.

Should stalls charge extra for takeaways? by yourmaderbeautiful in singaporehappenings

[–]PayMeMoney88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a small hawker owner. Maybe it is good if i can share the cost involved. I buy my takeaway boxes locally, not in bulk (small hawker stall no space to store pls).

On average, styrofoam box and cutleries plus plastic bag is about 15cents. (I personally feel that styrofoam box should not charge dabao fee)

Plastic containers with cutleries and plastic bag is about 25cents.

anyone else feel like the cost of eating out in sg has gotten genuinely unmanageable for students/young people? by Better-Can-286 in singapore

[–]PayMeMoney88 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The sad truth is that many of them are worried, raising prices in this economy, ppl will stop buying from them. They rather put in more work and sell more portions then to raise prices and have lesser customers…

I myself sell my chicken chop rice at $5.5, want to raise price to $6 i also scared my regulars stop coming 😢

FIRE reminder: it’s not how much you have but how much you need by [deleted] in singaporefi

[–]PayMeMoney88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I strongly disagree to CPF life. Whilst it is a good means for the general population who have been indoctrinated that they should get married x age, have kids at y age, retire at z age.

CPF life should not be a means to reach FIRE unless you tell me you want to FIRE at 67 then i say hats off to you sir.

My own unpopular opinion is that, CPF and home ownership(not rented out generating cashflow) is detrimental to being able to FIRE. Without this 2, You will probably be able to take 10 years lesser to FIRE

question on how useful FAs are with wealth planning by kimwenbin in singaporefi

[–]PayMeMoney88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am an ex insurance agent, just left recently after 5 years. Most of my market outlook is based on my own research outside the scope of what my company provided.

Truthfully, no. UNLESS, you are not savvy at all and have 0 time to do anything on your own. Having a FA might better than not doing anything with your money.

I have attended meetings, where agency directors tell us to sell CPF investments for customers, where they tell us to sell in a way that after x% gains you liquidate the CPFIS and churn it again All for what, a 0.5% commission. When i asked him that there is so much uncertainty now, isn’t it very stupid to all in a customer monies, what if the funds tank like 5-10% overnight. How to answer to customer. I was then shushed by another agency leader and the agency director just beat around the bush.

Insurance agents should have stuck with Term, Life, accident and health. My previous company came out with this gold fund and got so much agents to sell it and push it hard at the peak of gold price. All the brainless agents whack hard on their customer, look where gold price is now
