the more you say, the more mistakes you made

Last time, asked you nicely to retire early, you don't want. Die-die want to hold on to it until the last breadth... See what happen now?

the more you say, the more mistakes you made

On another note, the gahmen has been promoting people to work past their official retirement age - 62 years old to:

1) increase workforce pupulation (abeit in the low-end jobs)
2) old people can earn their keeps and stay active hence less burden on the gahmen on social and medical handouts
3) delay in the full-blown effects of the fast increasing greying population

So good, right?

WRONG.

Who the hell is gonna help take care of my young children when both me and wife have to work in order to barely survive in Singapore Swiss Standards of Living? Throw them to the infant-care and child care? A fucking infant-care costs us at least $800 - $1,000 monthly and that's after the pathetic gahmen subsidies! Child care centres charge at least $400 - $600 per month after the pathetic gahmen subsidies. If I were to heed government advice and have at least 2 or 3 kids, you multiply that by 2 or 3! So that alone would set us back by $1,000 - $2,000 monthly!!!

And the gahmen encourages the grandparents to not stop working for $800.

Go figure...
