As we age, we are not going to spend much money on clothing and shoes anymore, but more on experiences which include travel and food. A nice meal at an expensive restaurant once in awhile is alright.

My classmate who retired early, thought that travelling with his wife would be fun. After 2 years of travelling up to 4 times a year, they came to the conclusion that cities, food, entertainment, shopping, airports, subways etc. seemed to serve up similar fare, sights and sounds. Italian, French, Japanese, Chinese, Korean dishes were served in different destinations they travelled to. Fashion and footwear they saw in SG or online were sold in several different countries. We live in such a globalised world.

The landlords' children will inherit those properties and continue the cycle. That is how the rich replicate themselves.

They own several shops and properties and comfortably have a gd life style

Upward mobility is not as easy as it was for those of us in our 40s and 50s now. The students of today enter the best schools based on their parents' affiliation and donations. They inherit their capable parents' genes, get the best private tuition and even benefit from personal coaching by their intelligent parents. These days, many youngsters drive luxurious cars; some borrow their parents' cars of course, but many are provided with their own set of wheels by indulgent parents.

I’ve seen a few neighbourhood spots bounce back once the community rallies around them, so a little noise can go a long way. I try to mix things up by supporting places I enjoy, whether it’s a cosy hawker stall or even a korean restaurant like Boda that I visited on a trip and really liked. A small group showing up regularly can make a bigger difference than it seems.

I had lunch at Ivins at Binjai Park recently at 12 noon on a weekday, and the place was quiet. There were only 2 tables occupied, and by the time I left at slightly past 1 pm, only 4 tables were occupied. Unless this eatery attracts a sizeable crowd on weekends and weekday nights, it will soon have to relocate. I recall a time when diners had to queue outside for a table even on weekdays.

Got better places to eat. The eatery looks out and too expensive for their variety of food. So not surprised
