Why do you need so much when other people across the globe can't even have a basic meal and a basic education which further divide the gap between the rich and the poor?<br /><br />I personally have tried more than 10 businesses and have PROVEN that I can survive with a mere $500 every month.<br /><br />Yet why do I want to be rich, I want to be rich because I want to help the millions of less fortunate to get education.<br /><br />Why am I doing this? Because I know it is not they do NOT want, they can't, they lack the resources.<br /><br />It is because I know whatever I have is GIVEN to me by others.

The problem is that most men with low incomes tend to be unambitious, therefore their salary is (usually) a reflection of their ambition in life. No girl wants to be with a bum. <br /><br />You, on the other hand, despite earning less than your trader friends, would be attractive to me and my female friends because you have drive and purpose in life. <br /><br />But people like you are rare :)Yollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12650010986546237304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377738835782322104.post-37334047205189984492010-01-27T10:09:37.698-08:002010-01-27T10:09:37.698-08:00well, i am female and i do agree that females in t...well, i am female and i do agree that females in the professional sectors really do have quite high expectations of their other halfs! and possibly becuase of the people they meet wihtin thier industry, they do manage to snare guys who are able to fulfil their criteria. sadly, most do slurge on branded bags, expect to live in a condo when they get married, and love going to fancy restaurants (think the fancy posh french ones that serves very tiny portions of food - possibly the idea of eating very expensive food in tiny portions makes it very enticing to tastebuds already. but well, most do earn their own keep and pay for thier own meals =) i am probably one of the few who is insisting on living on a hdb flat after i get married becuase i really think its ludicrous to be chained to your job for a little apartment in the sky.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377738835782322104.post-23638802168676737352010-01-24T05:16:23.084-08:002010-01-24T05:16:23.084-08:00Hmm I deal with traders in my job... these ppl typ...Hmm I deal with traders in my job... these ppl typically has a bad attitude.. they believe they are GOD.<br /><br /><br />Yes they earn alot.<br />If you get into a 1st tier bank as a fresh grad.. be it guy or girl.. u can expect a more then 100k a year.<br /><br />But something for sure .. their shelf life is not very long.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395133625283419174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377738835782322104.post-2225081030623922842009-12-10T05:22:33.814-08:002009-12-10T05:22:33.814-08:00I think women nowdays are being supress by the soc...I think women nowdays are being supress by the society...get married at a certain age,bio clock tiking yadayadaya I came across your blog as one of my contacts posted it in FB, interesting I must say... :) <br />If you like the idea of discussing the single girls expectations over a couple of mojitos (Cuba Libre) do give me a shout out.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05861451661123518238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377738835782322104.post-76301087432477664332009-12-09T20:19:06.191-08:002009-12-09T20:19:06.191-08:00Hi dem, u can read my blog posts to find out. :)Hi dem, u can read my blog posts to find out. :)Sgbluechiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18070778039656838451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377738835782322104.post-23703815548783929972009-12-09T19:15:40.959-08:002009-12-09T19:15:40.959-08:00So are you single ???

Someone who can take care of her when she's sick (natue gives you sickness so you can finally sleep well officially) <br /><br />2. Someone who will not mind if she becomes fat (more to love)<br /><br />3. Someone who will love her no matter what her idiosyncrasies (love is blind)<br /><br />I guess you can equally apply the advice to future sons :)la papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377738835782322104.post-28833026148327754102009-11-27T02:28:04.573-08:002009-11-27T02:28:04.573-08:00Well said every cent counts!

I am highly entertained by your post SG Blue Chip.<br />Perhaps it's because I'm still an undergraduate, but I think your friends' expectations are crazy (no offense meant).<br /><br />Given the current economic situation, fresh grads in the late 20s (for guys) will find themselves lucky to be able to earn $3k per month, if they can even find a job in the first place!<br />I can understand the desire for a partner who has equal or higher capabilities, as many have already said: we can't use money to measure everything.<br /><br />I wonder if my boyfriend feels relieved knowing that i do not have expectations as those of Miss A,B,C and D. <br />Don't worry guys, there are still normal girls in SG who are not born with the expectations of being pampered with a fat allowance from a $12k salary.asterickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16786126871088371548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377738835782322104.post-42181968170163822602009-11-25T23:34:24.485-08:002009-11-25T23:34:24.485-08:00Your post is very interesting.

When we are in our teenage years, we would go for looks - the cutest or the most hulky-dory guys would catch our eyes. <br /><br />As we approach our late teens and early twenties, probably someone who can click and make us laugh. As we step into the working world, we’ll be attracted to “guy who seems to have “seen-it-all”, those who always have a solution to all our problems, or perhaps someone we can look up to or even guide us..….. also at this stage, some girls who probably look for rich guys who provide them with all the material comfort that we desire…. <br /><br />I believe, ultimately, by the time some girls are ready to settle down, more often than not, we will hope for someone sincere, responsible and stable, a “pampering hubby, doting daddy” material and someone we can grow old with..… just my two cents worth…Everycentcountshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893288050385503017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377738835782322104.post-40817141878903174122009-11-25T23:12:52.103-08:002009-11-25T23:12:52.103-08:00~ Ok then.

There was a burning smell coming from the engine then, but everything should be fine now.<br /><br />I do admit that most of my classmates who are earning in excess of 100k/yr do not have decent savings and are living by the day. I am proud that though I earn a lot lesser, I am richer financially and spiritually.<br /><br />Well, time will tell if they will downgrade their expectations!Sgbluechiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18070778039656838451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377738835782322104.post-60371802981576690222009-11-21T21:48:03.468-08:002009-11-21T21:48:03.468-08:00Well, from the comments so far it seems people hav...Well, from the comments so far it seems people have certain perceptions about banking/finance types.<br /><br />I am from an accounting background and I have many friends who have switched into banking/finance and I can attest that this attitude of materialism is somewhat prevalent among people in the industry (sad to say). Most people in the industry are very well-paid and have high expectations in terms of their creature comforts and the friends they hang out with. Suffice to say that being brand-conscious is part and parcel of the equation, and almost everyone is afflicted by varying doses of "Affluenza".<br /><br />I do however wish to highlight the case of one friend who does not really belong to this mindset. He has been a banker for quite a few years now and only this year he was unfortnately laid off from a prominent US Investment Bank. Since he was not a spendthrift to begin with, he managed to cope quite well with about 5 months of unemployment before he recently got a new 1-year contract job in a European bank. He does not own a car but he did buy a condo, though this was conservatively financed and also close to an MRT so its value has not dropped much even post-purchase. Even so, he was complaining of the constant cash drain that each day of unemployment brought about, and fortunately his wife was still gainfully employed and they have no kids, otherwise the situation may have been more dire.<br /><br />My point is that these ladies do not seem to be prudent, mature and realistic enough to understand that should anything happen to their jobs (whether laid off or pay cut/freeze), it is very likely that they may not be able to downgrade their lifestyles sufficiently to reduce spending or fixed costs to a level which can bring in positive cash flows. This, in turn, will reduce their expectations for their spouse; but it may come a little too belatedly.<br /><br />As for your car, did it get caught in the recent floods? Maybe you can spend a little to repair it instead of writing it off and getting a new one? COEs are not as low as they were 6 months ago and it would be very expensive to buy a new car right now. Just my 2-cents advice.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />MusicwhizMusicwhizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10950754156386935254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1377738835782322104.post-63428660629560651512009-11-21T13:49:50.953-08:002009-11-21T13:49:50.953-08:00Dear JW and Wiki, most of them are traders.Dear JW and Wiki, most of them are traders.Sgbluechiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18070778039656838451noreply@blogger.com
