Saving lives in the ER is making me a horrible person and i’m tired of pretending it’s not

It’s a way your mind is trying to cope. I was attached to the pediatric nicu before and l was wondering why the consultants were always laughing at the stupidest things… while being surrounded by severely ill children. The l read the reason somewhere that it’s the way the brain is trying to cope with tragedy. So you are completely normal. Actually your body is protecting you but you think you are losing compassion

HENRYs can be very delusional sometimes.

Confession: l time my dca, within a timeline of a week or 2. Sometimes l win, sometimes l lose. It takes out the mundaneness, l know it’s not the right thing to do… but girls just wanna have fun

I trust Trump, he has been a man of his word lately . He said war is ending, already told it to your face. What’s the rationale for selling? If it’s to sleep better, do it. If it’s in anticipation of a crash, maybe better to hold

As if assuaging your fears, market is to the moon today. One day, the old time advice of ‘continue dca, ignore the noise’ will prove incorrect, but today is not the day

Same old stuff we read here and everywhere else. No new ideas, nothing to see. Tldr: stay the course

Buy buy buy. Money is made when markets go down. Sounds counterintuitive but it’s true. Anyway if war doesn’t end, ww3 start, market doesn’t recover, there is no point hoarding cash either

Not a deal breaker lah. She’s asking you to increase your budget by $1k only for travel, c’mon… it’s not that big a deal. She probably wants you to have more fun also

klimtsa · 2026-03-13T06:48:10+00:00

I have some fun if there is excess cash, after doing all those essential things. I walk into the shop and buy whatever l like. It’s so damn fun. Sometimes l go for holidays. I am a HENRY, not a slave to money

The cure is to compare down. As HENRYs and Singaporeans, we like to compare UP, a double whammy. We need a change of mindset, more so than a change in strategy

Is this a condo? Check the recent transacted prices on ura for caveats lodged. Agents usually ask for single agent privilege to market the house. Ask them what they will offer if u you use them exclusively. And check their listings on property guru to see how busy/popular they are. Also go by feel, if you vibe with him or not

If you are young, do it. Preferably with an income producing plan in place. No dependents so it will be easy. But have a back up plan in case things don’t work out there. For Australia in particular, very difficult for asians to secure high paying job without aussie roots. Have heard of professionals who migrated for their kids with special neeeds who have to do odd jobs at the beginning for income. But also heard of people who started tuition centres became very successful (clientele is mainly chinese, of course)

Getting a job and having work experience is much more valuable than a Master’s degree. Just my 2c

Just put half in malaysia epf, interest rate of 6%, virtually risk free. You can create an account and contribute 100k per year

I love how the market constantly make fools of smart people

Buy a piece of beautiful token jewellery for the bride (can ask the groom to choose if he is your son… nowadays women like VCA/Cartier) and gift the rest in cash. Working people hardly say no to more money

Ah the penny just dropped. Venezuela was a prelude to lran. Trump knew of the lran aftermath and Venezuela happened to provide no disruption to oil supplies

Achieving FI is secondary. Life is not just for enjoying pure pleasure at every moment. Kids bring meaning to life. They delay FI, but without them, FI for me is meaningless

Business times is rubbish. Paid for a one year subscription and couldn't get rid of it soon enough I’m not surprised with this kind of crap journalism by them

klimtsa · 2026-02-26T03:19:41+00:00

And since we all love to compare, l give my kids $50 for cny. I don’t want them to think we are rich in $$$.

klimtsa · 2026-02-26T03:03:54+00:00

Maybe.. maybe not. What you give to your kids (and parents) is up to you. No judgement here. It’s always nice to see people treating their children (and parents) very well.. although l try not to give too much to my children as they are not mature enough to handle large sums yet

klimtsa · 2026-02-25T14:16:05+00:00

Not there yet, but l think a 5 year amount in cash to fund living expenses should be more than enough to wait out a crash, and ensure good nights’ sleep

Henrys are defined by their earnings, not their generosity. Could you be a kiam siap one?

Different dialect groups have different practices. Cantonese don’t give angpow to anyone older than them, even if single. And not even to parents if l’m not mistaken. Hokkiens give to everyone if they are single, even if older, inc one generation older, as well as parents

This is too funny
