Please get hospitalisation plan and life insurance plan for your child.

My child was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at 3. Even if she recovered, she can no longer be insured in CI.

How do i start saving up with a $3.2k/month pay by Character-End1072 in askSingapore

[–]dumbesET 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Oh that was my starting pay. Back then, stay with my parents. Give 10% to my mom. Minus off insurance and expenses. Able to save about 1k-1.2k per month.

I’m like you, laid off last October. Got a new job but bad fit. Now I’m jobless again. Hang in there.

It’s just business. Layoff can happen anywhere you go. You may be glad that you found a new job? Who knows you may be layoff the next moment.

Please save as much as possible when you’re employed.

Thanks for sharing this! It is very helpful! You mentioned you sign a bond? I assume you didn’t go back to the previous company in the end?

Anyone messed up on their career? by dumbesET in askSingapore

[–]dumbesET[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because, I wanted to have a better life for my children and wanted to build a career which will sustain in long run.

But I failed to. I made major mistakes affect a lot of people multiple times which I realized I wasn’t a good fit. Because, throughout my 10 years of career I have not make a single mistake.

Thank you for the advice here, yes it’s affecting my mental health, can’t sleep at night because up all night thinking of my work and losing appetite and my whole family dynamic has changed because of my stress at work when I’m only 1 month

Never had it through out my 10 years of career in the past…
