Very wise. Never pin all your hopes on a man. As a man, sad to admit, half my kind are A**holes when it comes to treating their wives :spank:lee_yl\" post_id=\"1937167\" time=\"1569403711\" user_id=\"17023:
I suddenly realized that being a SAHM with 2 toddlers with no career / no cpf and have to rely solely on a man, is pretty scary.

You must be very financially disciplined to be able to save $43k at 28 years old. After paying for my Uni loan, downpayment for hdb, wedding costs and reno cost, don’t think I have much savings.[/quote]at 28yo, AFTER you paid off those things..not bad already la.lee_yl\" post_id=\"1937167\" time=\"1569403711\" user_id=\"17023:
My first property was bought with the intention of having something that I could rely on when I grew old. That year I was 28yo. I realized I need to plan something for myself as I suddenly realized that being a SAHM with 2 toddlers with no career / no cpf and have to rely solely on a man, is pretty scary.厉害 ， think u are the first to Claim the word \"Retirement\" - some more sahm leh :salute:
pass exam with A liao ( paid up a FH
)
property is timing n luck
leeyl, ur old enbloc unit was FH or LH ?
So with my savings of $43K, I went for this old FH apartment which went enbloc 4 years later. That’s how I earned my first pot of gold which I safe-kept in various FDs over the years. I didn’t dare to reinvest for many years as I was so scared my pot of gold would be gone if I were to make a wrong judgment. -
No lah. Pls don’t run down men or generalize leh. Some are very responsible & dutiful both to parents and to kids. DH ensure our family members & extended family each gets health insurance cover. In the early days, my mum didn’t hv this so my Medisave was quite depleted till I was posted on a senior position years later when she left. DH feels by having ms manage homefront, kids get good home care & he didn’t need to worry abt his parents as I ensure all his siblings are updated on their parents’ needs.

you serious??[/quote]Dunno abt you. In every circle of my friends, almost half are divorced. How you expect a SAHM to suddenly return to work and care for kids? If not divorced, the men secretly eat out. Having been in \"that\" famous sex forum for a while, my estimation is not far off. All look like decent looking educated chaps. Truth is, the more decent looking, the more hum sup. Smh lah.

Maybe you married the better 50%. I never say they didnt take care of their children and wives. I say they take care of other women too. Esp those that go business trips. Not a nice topic. Maybe just ignore what I say.

I must say ladies are more daring & expressive than the past generations of womenfolk. But hah, think also female are more assertive and men still hold the alpha complex and hv not caught on the co-sharing in partnership in a relationship nor co-parenting duties. To be fair, I know some womenfolk wants their cake & eat it too or for keeps. Don’t bash yourself up lah.
This generation seems like divorce is so easy to utter, but it affects both sides (worst if kids are in the equation) if they care to admit as afterthots. It’s good that our society institute some form of cooling period & divorcing parties can retract after careful considerations. -
