No matter what senior post you are holding now, 20 years later must find another job with much less pay after you are expired. Companies prefer new blood, fresh stock, cheap and cheaper.

Cannot depend on children. I've seen so many cases of children conning their parents to give them the house then refuse to support them.

Nowadays parents dun bother to educate their children on what is filial piety.

So work as a form of escapism, not out of basic needs. 
The irony of life....

I don't have to work for the rest of my life

As I have a fully paid 5I HDB flat in Queenstown

And a MILLION $$$ in my CPF

But I want to keep my mind ACTIVE

To ward off DEMENTIA

So I decided to make full use of my PSLE genius mind

To embark on the 2nd leg of my DAY TRADING journey

Which will last forever

Song boh?

Children these days are different from one generation ago, they only think about themselves and their  immediate needs, and let the old parents fend for themselves....... Angry

Where was this lady hiding over the years..
