Please feel free to peep at my posts whenever you want.

SPH site is actually less stupid than here these days
so I come here when I want to see Shit
yeah this is the Mexican fisherman ONLY THINKING ABOUT HIMSELF.
The difference is that his kids would no longer need to worry about food and money. His wife as well.
Also when he gets sick and has no money? Or his kids get sick?
The above account is exactly why these laid back sit under coconut tree playing guitar lifestyle loving people remain......POOR.
Sure can be POOR and happy then dead.
Can also be RICH and unhappy then dead.
In the end all dead also lah.
i find time is the missing factor leh.
i have sacrificed my own personal for the endgame.
Start with school. Pressure to succeed I did. Then Uni. Then career. All I do. I marry. Now all I do is make sure our status is higher than next door.
People say look at me so good look at my car my vacation my bank account is full
But I tell you frankly is all bullshit I am not happy.
Our government screw us over say must be successful then you happy. I have no happiness just emptiness.
As I approach 50 I regret. I want to go back in time and redo. Older I get more unhappy I become. I realize this story has meaning. Must explore what is all about.
Yes must provide but have enough to make you happy not make the next door neighbor envy you and keep going until i am empty shell
Point is to have abundance then let go and tell our evil society to go to hell
it’s not the money. it’s about $696k of cash in a tax-sheltered ira account that does nothing. instead of idling and doing nothing may as well put it to good use. it’s not like i need the money, plus i can’t withdraw it anyway due to its tax-free status in an ira. money put to productive use by investing it in growth businesses help those businesses thrive better, and thousands more earning minimum wage can be hired. just 2 days ago, a billionaire who just retired last year, bought a bunch of collectible cars as toys for his multi-car garage, ended up dead after a white bmw going at high speed smashed into his red vintage sedan. sad and sudden. if he were to ride a bicycle or a pmd on a dedicated bike lane, he would still be alive today.

I think as you live longwr you realize fuck lah all the things that happen unexpected tend to be bad one.you are referring to the famous Roth IRA?
I am very sad for the billionaire. what a terrible outcome. Work so hard then cannot enjoy.
so then life is short
as you title say you eat you shit then you die
i want to be happy not feel emptiness inside
when I was younger i was happy. I miss this feeling.
Yes. I dont like the world anymore. Life is diagusting.
I understand why some people will buy a gun and shoot their children and wife then turn the gun on themselves. It is for the best for the family in the long run. It takes great bravery and courage to follow through with that plan.
money cant buy happiness ?
this one made me think
My wife and I we dont have this idea need to show face etc.that is the thing. you talk so openly in our society people dont know what to say
but you are honest person. straight talker.
for me because I know I was happy until late 20s then I caught up in endless hell of providing for my family.
so that is the key. i was happy when young. school days. good friends. simpler times.
maybe if you remember happier days then you are like me
what happened? why is everything not the way. i cannot sleep well at night. no peace.
my wife always want to show others how successful I am. to show face to her family, her friends, the neighbors.
i know behind closed door things are not as they appear.
people are actors. I am too. I make show of face but for what.
because i know i can happy again i will say to you dont think such things, life can be good but must know how to read a story like this and get to our happy place.
everyone different. my happy place is different from other happy place.
It is not just sg.when used correct money is good.
if you base your whole life on money then it is no good. you lose your soul.
my friend are all plastic only like me because of my outside. if i am poor then these friends wont talk to me. my wife will leave me. my children will spit on me,
i am only here to provide for them. i feel drained and very resentful for the whole system. we were lied to. why singapore is so like that. why is education and our material the backbone of everything here?
i travel. i see other culture. its not the same. there is more laid back you do your own thing. they seem happier.
so i am contemplating what is the meaning of life

no. not roth ira. just money in 401k rolled over to an ira account within the same investment firm. can trade in the stock and bond markets.you are referring to the famous Roth IRA?

By any chance the one own the Kiliney Shop franchise?no. not roth ira. just money in 401k rolled over to an ira account within the same investment firm. can trade in the stock and bond markets.
btw, that billionaire married an sg lady. she's now the sole billionaire in the family plus offsprings as beneficiaries.
so close to home. yes, how sad and sudden. she told us just a week ago they’re going south to l.a. to spend a few weeks before heading back to sg. now they have to change plans to arrange a funeral or memorial service. heart rending.By any chance the one own the Kiliney Shop franchise?

If i can give a thousand likes I will giveI interact with the more unfortunate people a lot, i go way out to help. When my efforts makes a difference. When my sacrifices and risk makes a difference to the not so fortunate people. I know i have not wasted this life.
I've walk the earth and i'm proud of it. I'm so grateful for so many things that i have that many don't.
It might be just a pair of shoes that i've given away but her happiness and comfort that i am able to make her wish realized made my day. That's what happiness is about.
It's not about you/us that we can satisfy or provide, it's about them. It's not about having it's about giving. lol..... It's about the other selves. Nobody is an island alone. Nobody is suppose to be alone. We're One. When you reunite when you share, there's joy.
When you fulfil a purpose there's happiness. Find that 'purpose'.
What is the meaning of life ? The meaning of life is to find purpose in living. :P <3

It is a tough goal with lots of responsibility.
Worse is if you know you can get to that level of you really work very very hard but then you dont and feel guilty. Feel like i am lazy. Shortchanging the family by not working harder. Should work sat and sun also. But wife says please dont you will burn out.
I think i am insane lah.
