National Day - flag covers for car side mirrors

WTF did I just read?

Some clown actually think it's an issue here. And thinks car drivers want to use the flag designed covers to protect their car mirrors cap.

Wake up lah you mountain turtle. As a car driver, I believe most of us F care about the side mirrors. The national flag designed covers are sold all over petrol stations during the National Day period, and this has been going on for years. I think it's a fun thing to do to display.

Don't be a sore loser. Go work harder and buy that car you envy your neighbour has. F loser.

CPF balances 24 July 2024

I think for SA, my balance is considered "self-sustaining" as the 4% pa for SA could ensure my balance will continue to meet the FRS requirement every year until I reach 55. from CPF website, my SA balance already exceeds FRS for 2024. Every year, the FRS increases a little for inflation. E.g. the FRS for 2025 is 3.4% increase compared to 2024.

Basically I am effectively drawing down my cash each month, primarily due to 2 things : mortgage and income tax mortgage (after CPF) is about $9k per month income tax is about $5k per month My investment cashflow covers all my other expenses, including utilities, groceries, handphone/internet bills, insurance, property taxes, condo maintenance fees, personal spending. With some input from wife who is still working, I am still out of pocket by almost $11k per month. She will continue to be able to save a decent sum per month and I'll let her grow that and managed it for her via safe investments. Am I comfortable? Not really. I will if I am not out of pocket per month. If I really stop working for good, the income tax amount will go to $0 after 2025. So only mortgage left We can pay off the mortgage but I think I said before, it doesn't make sense since it's our home and we will be locking the money up with little leeway to do other things. So I ...
