Wealth gap between richest and poorest is ever wider
It’s not easy for a salaried professional to become super-rich. However, as long as we use what we have to build more, we should be better than the national average. Perhaps that could be a good goal to have. A rat race, perhaps. Would it be easier if we are an entrepreneur instead? Actually, it…

Buying a property? Comparisons, Viewing and Buying.
Please do not think that property prices are way too high. It will stop us from doing anything and in the end, we may have nothing and need to continue renting.
