Because you think you cannot afford something does not mean you allow yourself to be compelled to do something that can turn out worse.
That is the thinking of people who don't have money so they feel they have no choice but to steal and rob...
Of course we have a choice of what to do.....we always have a choice...you can always work out a choice through wise thinking...letting situation push you into mistakes is unwise.

In life, u reap wat u sow...cause n effect..
If y dont plan for yr future long retirement life , it's yr choice...n if u r greedy, n easilg fall for temptation , its also yr choice.
N if u dont work hard , dont save n invest prudently, its also yr choice...play , drink , go to toto booth, go geylang , mix with wrong company asking for crowfunding n iron teeth pratsmen , also yr choice
So cannot blame anybody if u do not have enuf for yr retirement,

We are free to do what we want, to buy toto, 4-D, mix with wrong company and do petty crime, it is also your choice. We should be prudent with our CPF accounts and have enough money to last us till our old age of 85.....

Our CPF accounts are just to last till age 85, the average age of a male person...

We have Trade Minister, we also have.
They have CEPA with China, we also have CECA with India.
Same. So we can also keep our border close.
Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

Often that choice is called Hobson...
