    Default 1m HDB means public housing can be luxurious!!!

    Kenobi-wan: the record price of the executive maisonette shows that public housing can offer luxurious living conditions, he added.

    I thought his standard of luxury means a 32m GCB

    Introduction


    I have been actively servicing the Western Expatriate community for past few years. I specialiaze in Black and White Colonial Bungalows, Conservaton Peranakan Historical homes, break leases and family placements. I am originally from Honolulu, Hawaii and lived in the San Francisco Bay Area before I came to Singapore. Having 3 small children I understand family layouts in terms of the need for garden and baby safe child friendly interiors. I am extremely transparent in my negotiations with tenants, landlords and co-broking agents so that that its a win-win situation for all parties involved.

    That is just passive income. Doesn't include his active income.

    Wrong, if I were him I will retire and enjoy life ... life is short, can always pass on a few properties already to children, what's more do u want

    Many professionals died suddenly between 40-50 ... sad

    That is the beauty of using active income to leverage on the Bank's money to get passive income.

    Did you see last weekend obituary of keppel corp managing director of marine. He looks really run-down at 55 years old. Need to know when to stop and not overstrained. He probably leave behind wealth for his family but for him to enjoy.

    Maybe he doesn't want to retire coz the thought of not working is simply too painful for him? Maybe his hobby is to work, not for money but to kill time!!! LOL! He can happy happy come to work and then next day MIA but that certainly is irresponsible! LOL!

    it is my belief that we invest is do our part for the children such that you do not burden them when they start working and they can have a head start but no more than that ... children must work hard to build up their own wealth

    and definitely life has a higher meaning waiting for us to discover

    hk defines luxury ppty as being 1000 sq ft or more right?

    by that definition, most hdb flats are luxurious and most new 3 bedroom condos are NOT!
