Advice needed on how 30 yo female can become self-made millionaire

Powder, me too.... I am feeling so separated from my daughter. My overseas posting was a natural progression for me but not for my family. But it does set me thinking how much I miss her compared to those days when I was in Singapore. But there are still ways to keep in contact, it is limited but there are..... I am already losing out on the time she is growing and in no time she be a grown up soon... time is an essence to all things which sometimes we just take it for granted.....
Good luck there.....
 


Oh, of course parents will quarrel lah.. it is quite normal.. financial yes but we always make do with what we have..

So when I am going into the university, I try to pay for my tuition fees and expenses by working during vacation. At times my eldest sister will chip in a little.

But no. I did not expect my parents to be financially responsible to send me to university. They did try to give me a little here and there.
 
kent,

Overseas posting is so tough for the family. And now if I consider going overseas, I will take my children with me..

But right now I am happy with what I am doing here in SG - in terms of job satisfaction (immense) as well as the flexibility of the job - I work mostly at home and I can take time off easily to spend time with the children.

Notice I have three children and I have to juggle. Need to spend individual time with each of them. Of course at times it is the whole family affair.
 
kent, i can't imagine being away that long... driven as i am in career n finances... but then i have the priviledge of saying no and staying in spore. it's hard to be away from the chuckling of my girl and the bright smile of my baby... to see and not touch, to hear and not hug... i'm strong, but not that strong... i'd fly back ever-often.
 
SM,
Overseas posting seems tough but actually once you have mapped out your path then it is almost the same as in SG. of course, we are so use to the environment in singapore so it takes a bit of getting used to... like changing phones from Nokia to ericsson... texting was a chore....
But a change in envornment is good for the children too, they tend to mature faster... easier to adapt to new environment, sometimes I think they are better off than adults....
I am glad to know that you can do it as a family affair.... Saying goodbye to my daughter was the hardest..... we were both trying to be brave holding back our tears..... Wat strikes me most till now was how she put her palm onto the glass at the departure gate while mine met hers on the other side of the glass.... till now tears still rolls when I think of it.....
 
@May, at first I also quite "fearful" to become a father. Before being one, I like to play with others kids, but that's about all. If my niece and nephew come over to our place and let us take care for one afternoon, I also feel stressed chasing after their footsteps and bear with the noise.

After 3 yrs+ of trying, now my boy is 8mths+ old, I am very happy to be a new learning dad. It's amazing to observe his growth everyday.

May, maybe the time if not right for you. You got other priorities in your mind.
 
kent,

For me I don't think adapting is an issue as I worked overseas before. I am used to very adverse conditions.. I think children will be easy to adapt but not so easy to uproot family as then I was still married - ex-wife is a big consideration. I cannot take the children and leave her alone in SG.
 
Don't wish to be a single mom. That has been decided long ago.

Now, I am an active aunt to my two nephews, five and 16 months.

I also have a nine-year-old furkid (dog).
 
my dream is to be a mum to ten cats who will live with me in a nice house. i will fit my house to be full of beams and cat toys so that they can roam the place like a jungle.
 
oh it's just nice to apply a platinum SMRT credit card.

My salary very de low de. engineering field all flooded with these forum telants from indian, bangla etc... so they eat curry soup with rice can already, spoil the market... so make we singaporean salary low low.....
 
Hi May Ong, 90k/per year is consider above average manz. hehe.

So how much liquid cash have you saved up so far? 500K already? Have you sold off your matrimonial flat already? Can cash out somemore cash wor.

I only earn 2/3 of yours, still struggling and save like mad. I only look forward to every feb of each year for my special bonus. hehe.

So last weekend got to casino? I went RWS last saturday for the first time in july since may. Not much changes in there. Still many ppl.
 
Jefferson, are you male chauvinistic or what.

OL also have higher ranking, also have lower ranking.

OL can encompass Legal Counsel/ Corp Comm Director/ Chief Administrator/ CFO/ Head Accountant/ Purchasing Manager/ Chief Planner/ Personal Assistant all the way down to Receptionist/ Data Entry Clerk/ HR or Accounts Assistant

OL can have many range and type leh.

OL is generally to mean DESK/ OFFICE BOUND 80% of time.

dont be male chauvinistic lah. you are living in 2010
 
Roft,

no, not enough. i wanna be stinking filthy rich

No, matrimonial flat not sold yet.

was itching like mad to go casino, but decided against it. must be more ladylike mah ... in the end did something boring like eating ...

not before long before i take up knitting ar?
 
Susanna,

EXACTLY!

you know, like those grandmothers who only know how to speak dialect.... they never know exactly what their grandchildren are doing ... they just know they work in the office ... so they say "Zo4 office gang4 eh" ....
 
May, you are right on the trend....

Now, most of my purchasing officers are ladies. Even the HR and finance senior managers are all ladies. I guess I welcome my compy's approach, as to promote those regardless of gender.
 
May, so your matrimonial flat will be "force sell" by the court right? I didn't follow your story, for do not know whether you have filed for divorce or not. If divide equally, I think you think can go back some profits de.

Eating is actually good stress reliever for me. Last sat I actually go all the way to Cambridge food centre for my favorite prawn noodle from north side before heading to the casino. I love good food. Too bad my spouse was too lasy to follow.
 
Damn then with all this wealth and want some more. mustta be greedy like hell when I surviving for food and water and worrying about got enough money to buy a small flat and securing a low paid job.. sad...
 
Roft, im not divorced yet.

no, the flat stays for the time being.

why dont take your spouse to the casino? or else she is bored dont know will get up to no good or not
 
Jefferson Yong, maybe you need some financial planner to look into your finance or relook your living lifestyle and cut down your expenses? No offense here.

Oic May, so you are into a "repair stage" with your hubby? Sorry for being a kpo.

I can't bring her to to casino right now as I still in the recovering stage, if two of us go in, I need to bring more bankroll. I have barely calculated, till now she has lost abt 25ks and 4ks respectively to jackpot machines in SAFRA/NTUC clubs and in RWS. Now her primary role is to look after our baby first. I will bring her to short getaways in genting or grandeur casino in goldcoast in her wishlist in dec. Let her enjoy some slot machines playing moments.

Nowadays scare to lose, win afew hundreds I will run. hehe.
 
Roft, so the wife likes to gamble as well ... and both in need of bankroll ....

hey ... no good lah! both of you need to get new hobbies to bond over. may i suggest baking or cooking together, or gardening ... cannot like that go and lose money together ...
 
roft, or you and your wife can go and chiong buffet lah ... one different type of buffet each weekend.

or hold house party for close friends with different theme every week.

anything is better than offering up hard-earned cash to Casino like that
 
Ya loh, before the making of our baby, we rampantly waste quite substantial amount of our "baby planning reserves" into gambling. We took 3 years for the baby to come, so we spend 3 years venturing from cruise casinos to land casinos. Still feeling to pain till now. No point crying over spill milk. Since baby arrives liao, she become good mum, I only a occasional gamer. That's why I regret purchasing the 2k membership levy in RWS.
 
Yap May, now she's into cooking. And she now can cook good fish and chicken curry. Now I playing badminton with my bro-in-laws. hehe.

We went Buffet often, and this weekends we maybe gg to sakura seafood buffet or ellenborough market cafe @ merchant court hotel.
 
yah lah, must strive to be decent folk and be well-behaving uncle and auntie ... cannot be like singles cheong here cheong there ...
 
Roft. financial planning i know, was in G.E for sometime. just that My life's bad and I am poor that's all.

good things doesn't come to me. I just live my own decent, cheap, low cost life and a good gf to cuddle and live my rest of the life with her that's enough.

Just very suprised that earning 90K per year and aiming to be millionaire... can't imagine
 
I literally teach her how to play slot machines and I have regretted since. Sadz....

So you go buffet also? Any others good and mid-price buffet to recommend us?
 
Hi Jefferson, how come you feel so low. Don't be so negative lah, chill abit.

So you are single now? You have quit GE for good?
 
that's a good alternative. Also, u can packet your own lunch and dine at home more. That is a simple and effective way to reduce the excessive oil, salt and calories intake.
 
Becoming a self-made millionaire through playing in the casino is a big dream of many I think. When I was younger I also tried my luck and hoped that I would make lots of money in roulette or blackjack games. But well, I am still not a millionaire and especially in those times I lost more than I won in the casino. Now I go there just for fun, play little stakes and win a little, it's much more relaxed and more fun.
 
i am renovating my house and i had to spend a small fortune rewiring the place. the boss who owns the electrical work company is the unlikeliest millionaire you'd imagine - uneducated, unsophisticated, and un-singaporean (to be more specific, malaysian.) so if i am poor and desperate, and before i throw in the towel to become a money making machine for comfort cab, i'd enroll myself into ITE. learn me a useful blue collar skill and go from there. im sure you've heard how plumbers and electricians in western developed countries are earning good salaries? we are not there yet but are surely and not that slowly heading in that direction. and once you have a few years working experience under your belt, it is not a big jump to become your own boss. the main barriers of entry being work experience and networking within the trade.

there you go. not the glamorous route and probably not easy for females. but i think the more realistic than casinoing your way to riches.
 
Hey MiLo & May, how's things going har? Preparing for your xmas gift hunting?

Just came back from my holiday trip. Now energy fully charged up liao. hehe....
