Value for money is more important these days

It is not that youths of today no longer aspire to have the 5Cs. It is more accurate to say that they realise that the 5Cs are no longer within their reach.

Most sinkees know that the 5Cs cannot be attained,so better to just lie flat and watch the world pass by.555

I suggest all boys who reach NS age get a vasectomy before enlisting. It will save them a lot of money and troubles in future.

Or if you want, do it during NS. I'm sure you get get some medical leave for that. It's a surgery after all.

It's our fault and boomers fault. If I just started working and earn 3k and I look around and HDB flats cost $1m, I say fuck you and quit.

When our politicians claim that younger S'poreans are no longer interested in the 5Cs, he is actually advising them to aspire to more realistic goals since that condo, car and country club membership have been priced out of their reach. The quality of life is certainly extremely low in SG.

Many of the younger staff in my office do not know why they have no work life balance, and spend weekends recovering from the stress and exhaustion of the previous week, yet cannot even afford a decent home and car.

They can’t even afford to live a basic shit life with high cost of living.

Yup.
It costs around $300,000 to bring up a child in SG at present.

It’s like asking a Sinkies to imagine what it’s like to buy a private plane. U can dream, but must remember to wake up!

They prefer to spend their money on the simple pleasures of life: Labubu, Chagee drinks, limited edition phone cases, claw machines.

Why wake up to a painful, sobering reality?
