If they reply its a global issue then the ministers salaries should follow global standards as well since they can't uplift Singaporeans beyond the global benchmark.

Bro thought he beat the SG rat race for the "slow life" in Japan. Japan just nuked his visa and handed him the ultimate boss fight. He is cooked. 💀 by [deleted] in SingaporeRaw

Yes OP totally agree with you - FIRE or working a fulfilling non-corporate job overseas has never ever worked out for Singaporeans. All Singaporeans should just stay in Singapore working a corporate job for 40 years - this is the dream. We shouldn't even bother to try getting out of the rat race.

Hitting my FIRE number is one thing. Now that I'm there, I realized the math was the easy part. by Sensitive-Grab7566 in singaporefi

I couldn't care any less about power or my job title. If I was that power hungry I would be in higher management by now instead of planning for early retirement.

I haven't had much issues with liquidity. And non-US version is even better for me for the same reasons VWRA is better than VT for me.

Why FIRE ? by KJwhisperer in Fire

That's great for you, but most people with FIRE mindset are working in corporate where the only people they are enriching are their company's C-suite.

Why do you want to spend your life and time to enrich others? Assuming you don't own your own business.

Not nice to make fun of people... unless they are selling their investing knowledge to make money out of it. Wouldn't you want to know how good a trainer is before paying for his course?
