Something that has been on my mind for some time is the cost of living in singapore. Lately I have heard a lot of news that prices of houses, cars , necessities will be rising slowly but surely. With wages not really goin up as much , makes one a bit concerned about what the future holds. I am thankful that I am gainfully employed and with how the year has gone by, I think I have finally found something that I can see myself doing for a good long time. That being said, chasing the kids for work and marking it is not the most fun thing in the world but seeing them want to improve themselves for the better is something that warms my heart and kinda makes the drama dissolve.. Not totally but for a while.. then it all goes back to normal haha. Such is the life of a teacher, we enjoy the teachable moments and hope that what we do makes a difference to the lives placed under our care.

Other than the joys of teaching, reality is such that while it pays well, will how scarily the prices of housing is going out, it kinda makes me wonder if I will be able to afford my own home at some point. Bearing in mind that I only started working fully properly recently, part of me is worried will I be able to do it? The optimist in me says yes, the pessimist in me says, hmm are u sure you have enough resources.

Which brings me to an interesting idea that a friend of mine put forth to me recently. It is basically running an online business which makes use of the power of the internet to spread the awareness of the product. Before you start bashing it, while initially the idea of it kinda seemed attractive, the eventual result left me thinking more whether it was actually possible rather than being in awe of the seemingly awesome business model that seemed to help individuals with little capital start and be their own bosses. The idea is that using materials provided and with senior that help new distributors, it really seemed like a pretty awesome idea considering that majority of ppl are still resistant to change. Everyone seems to just want to work for someone else and earn well a safe income. While that is not wrong or not good, it makes you wonder is it really possible to break out of that cycle and achieve financial independence? Or are we meant to just work all our lives to pay off our debts and by the time we can retire most of our life has passed us by.
