Rainy Days are here: How long can your saving last?

[DearestGodlikeWarlord]

Singapore could easily become a banana republic.

Why, blowjobs would finally be approved for legislation there?

With the relentless "R" word going on the past few weeks and understand it's going to get worse after CNY. What is the state of savings relatvie to expenses/salary?.

I am looking at at best 6 months, anything more than that, will be in deep trouble. Will try to stretch it, if wherever possible......

Rainy days... never say goodbye...
To desire... when we are together...
Rainy days... growing in your eyes...
Tell me where's our way?

It's a rainy day, and the sun will shine
It's a rainy day
It's a rainy day
It's a rainy day, things will be alright
It's a rainy day
It's a rainy day

I honestly don't believe that there is such a thing called "business sense". Money making opportunities are pretty obvious to anyone who can be bothered to take a peek. Try it yourself. I'm sure you'll be able to spot a few winners if you sit down and think.

I'm not talking about grand schemes that can make millions. I'm referring to the simple service related activities which are well within the capabilities of most people and which can generate a comfortable income to enable one to pay the bills with a bit to spare which can be channeled back into the business.

The problem is not the inability to think of ways of making money. The problem lies in the inertia that needs to be overcome before people can actually change their mindsets.

People keep gravitating towards looking for a JOB because they have a preconceived idea that it's what they were cut out to do. They start off with a JOB and they then keep looking for one JOB after another no matter how badly "JOBS" treat them along the way.

Sam , you have my utmost support for your views here. For this time , i fully support and endorse your view point.

You bet. I teared when I was alone playing one of his pieces on the piano yesterday.

Dont worry bro, in the same boat, i was fired last week. hope u can sort out soon....let support each other.

Thank bro :p I went to recruitment agencies to look for jobs WOW a lot people waiting outside the corrider of the office.
Many people are jobless

If you are single, 4k can last for a while, if you are with family and kids, then it could be a big problem for you.

I am single now but I did not really save much during good times now regret :(

$4,000 to last until I find the next job. The recruitment agent told me the most of her clients had headcount freezed now only hiring contract or temporary workers only :o

Contract or temporary, apply and take on first. If job situation is bad as it is now, it might take more than 6 months to find another job.

I was unemployed for 10 mths b4 I got a job recently, My financial reserves was hardly touched. I believe with some ingenuity, my reserve can last me for at least 2 to 3 years. I am 54 now. I believe that by that time I wld be able to get my CPF.


.

CPF? Dun count on it! They keep on shifting the goal post! Now that Ho Jinx lost so much of our money, count on it that your cpf funds will be detained and released only after your demise!
