I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of working abroad and the potential of earning a higher salary. I’ve heard a lot of stories of people who moved to Singapore and earned three times more than what they were making back home.

I am a Singaporean, and I wish I was born in Malaysia so I can come to Singapore to work and earn 3.3 times my salary.

Being born and raised in this small city-state, I am aware of the privileges that come with the Singaporean passport, and I cannot help but be envious of the Malaysians who get the opportunity to come to Singapore for a job with a much higher salary than what they could earn back home.

First of all, the exchange rate between Singapore Dollar and Malaysian Ringgit is 3.3 times. This means that a Malaysian worker coming to Singapore to work can earn 3.3 times more salary than what they would earn in Malaysia. This is a huge difference and it can make a significant impact on the quality of life of the worker.

Their quality of life is much higher despite us being “more developed”.

Singapore has a much higher cost of living than Malaysia. This means that the salary difference is even more attractive to foreign workers. The cost of living in Singapore is almost double that of Malaysia, so the salary difference is even greater. This makes Singapore an attractive destination for foreign workers.

All these factors make Singapore a much more attractive destination for foreign workers than Malaysia. The salary difference of 3.3 times is huge and can make a significant impact on the quality of life of the foreign worker.

The cost of living in Singapore is much higher than in Malaysia, so the salary difference is even greater. And finally, the policies implemented by the Singaporean government have made it an even more attractive destination for foreign workers.

I wish I was born in Malaysia so that I can come to Singapore to work and earn a much higher salary than what I could earn back home.

Singapore is an attractive place for foreign workers, and I am envious of those who get to take advantage of it.

Okay, so my boyfriend (21 M) and I (19 F) got into an argument because last month a guy who looks at me like a sister bought me a tote bag as a gift.

I knew my boyfriend would freak out because he always thought I had something with the guy, but we are literally like siblings. 2 weeks before he bought me the bag, my boyfriend told me he lied for 3 months about another girl (before we were official and they didn’t do anything S) but I felt that I did not owe him anything after forgiving him for that.

A week before the guy gave me the gift, my boyfriend got mad that I accepted a sandwich from the same guy (he hands them out to *everyone*) so I was afraid to tell him about the bag.

His reactions are scary, he is impulsive, calls me out of my name (bitch, hoe, etc), and gets physically aggressive but never actually hits me.

When I wore the bag, I told him my mom bought it for me, till last week he randomly checked my phone and I told him the truth before he even went through those messages. He started to say how disrespectful it was, and that he was gonna meet up with another girl because of it. He made me cut the bag up and send a picture of the destroyed bag to the guy who bought it for me.

Smash my phone

He was threatening to smash my phone if I didn’t. I understand my actions were wrong, but I was genuinely scared of his reaction. Either way, it was wrong and I could’ve at least not worn the bag. The guy is 100% like a brother to me though ( i know it sounds cliche and hard to believe but its true).

He then started to say he wanted to put all of this behind us and continue, I declined, refused to have S with him, and we both blocked each other. Tell me truthfully, do you think his actions were warranted by my lie?

I have been loyal to him for seven months before we were even official… he met my parents, and we went on two trips together. So many memories… please someone give me advice!

Here are what netizens think:

• It is good that you block him, dont ever forgive him. What a vile man.

• You can do so much better. He is a pos cheater. Dont take him back. All that name calling is so disrespectful. Why stay in a relationship like that. You are young. Dont waste your time on him.

• He was looking for an excuse to cheat. Thats without the gaslighting, name calling and generally trying to control you. Keep him blocked. You dodged a bullet.

• Okayy so he sounds pretty abusive and usually when people are aggressively accusing you of cheating, they’re usually the ones cheating. people going on how it was wrong to lie about the gift which is true but if he made you feel scared then it’s reasonable and ok to do that.

• Also him using a tote bag as an excuse to get head means he planned to do it already, he’s a pos.

I remember the day I decided to leave my wife. It was a decision that I had been contemplating for months, but the moment I knew that it was the right thing to do was when I saw her clapping her hands happily as our daughter was finally able to take her first steps.

At that moment I knew that I was not going to be able to continue to live with a woman that had been so spoiled since she was young and was unable to contribute to our household income or do any of the chores.

I was literally serving a princess

It was a difficult decision for me to make, but I knew that it was the only way for me to have a chance of finding true happiness. I had been married to my wife for over 10 years, and while there were some good times, I could no longer ignore the fact that she was lazy, spoiled, and completely unwilling to help out around the house.

The last straw came when I realized that she was not even making an effort to try and help out with our daughter. She was content to simply sit around and watch TV all day, while I was the one who had to do all of the work. I was tired of feeling like she was taking advantage of me, and I knew that if I stayed with her any longer I would start to resent her.

So, I left. I had no idea what the future would hold, but I knew that I had to take a chance and try something different. I was initially scared of what people might think of me for leaving my wife for a younger woman, but I eventually realized that it was the right thing to do.

I am now in a much happier and healthier relationship with a woman who is supportive, understanding, and willing to help out with household responsibilities. While it was difficult to leave my wife, I have no regrets about my decision.

If I wanted to find true happiness I had to make a change. I am now with with a younger girl who strive to become successful and cooks very very well.

I used to think that having no debt was the ultimate goal in life.

I thought that once you got to that point, you could just relax and enjoy the rest of your life in peace. Little did I know that there was a whole new set of challenges to deal with once you reached that point. This is a lesson I learned the hard way when my wife decided to upgrade our house to a condo when we were debt free.

I had been working hard for years to pay off our debt. It was a relief to finally make that last payment and have no debt. We were finally free! We had some extra money in the bank and I was ready to just enjoy life. My wife, on the other hand, had other ideas.

She wanted to upgrade our HDB to a condo.

I was confused. Why would we want to upgrade when we were debt free?

My wife argued that the condo would be a better investment. She said that the condo would appreciate value over time and that it would be a better place to live. She also said that it would be more convenient since it would be closer to work and amenities. I could see her logic, but I still felt uneasy about it. I was scared to take on more debt, even if it was a good investment.

My wife was persistent and eventually, I gave in. We started looking for condos and found one that we liked. We ended up paying a mountain of cash for it.

Now that a few years have passed, I am still paying for it. Yes, The condo has appreciated in value but it has extended my retirement by several years.

Although one need to make money for a better life but life is so short, I don’t to sacrifice so much.

When your old you don’t have the same level of energy to play.

My advice to couples out there

I also understand why my wife wanted to upgrade when we were debt free. We had the money to do it and it was a good investment. Taking on more debt is always a risk

You want work till you die or spend money when your old AF

I had a friend I trusted with everything. We had been through thick and thin together and I thought nothing could break our friendship.

Recently, however, he betrayed me in a way I never thought possible – he stole $300 from me.

I had been busy with work and other commitments, so I hadn’t seen my friend for a few weeks. He asked me to come over and watch a movie, so I agreed. We watched the movie and then he asked me for $300 to pay for an emergency. I had been saving up for a new laptop and he knew about it, so I hesitated for a moment. He was my friend and I trusted him, so I decided to lend him the money.

Little did I know, he had no intention of paying me back. I asked him for the money several times, but he always had an excuse or told me he would pay me back soon. I even offered to let him pay me back in installments, but he still refused.

I was so frustrated and angry that I finally decided to confront him about the money. He said he was sorry and promised to pay me back, but I knew it was too late. I asked him why he had done this and he said he needed the money and thought I wouldn’t miss it.

My heart broke and I felt so betrayed. I had trusted him with my money and he had taken advantage of me. I thought our friendship was strong enough that he wouldn’t do something like this, but I was wrong.

I was so hurt and angry that I ended our friendship. I realized that money was more important to him than our friendship and I didn’t want to be friends with someone who would do that.

The experience taught me that money is more important to some people than friendship.

People will do anything to get money and they don’t care who they hurt in the process. It’s sad, but it’s a harsh reality.

I still feel betrayed by my friend and I don’t think I will ever trust anyone like I did him. I have also learned to be more careful with my money and who I lend it to.

Friendship is about trust and loyalty, and my friend of 10 years betrayed me. Now, I know that friendship can’t always be relied on, and it is not worth risking your money. Friendship is important, but money is more important.

I can’t believe it. I just quit my job without notice after my boss threatened to fire me. It’s been a long road leading up to this point and I can’t help but feel a little relieved.

It all started when I was promoted to a higher position within the company. My boss seemed pleased with my work and I was excited to have the opportunity to advance. Things were going great for a while, but then my boss started to change. He was increasingly difficult to work with and began micromanaging me more and more.

I tried to do my best to please him, but it just seemed like nothing was good enough. He would nitpick at every little thing I did and I felt like I was walking on eggshells.

Then one day, my boss called me into his office and let me know that he was planning on firing me. He said that I wasn’t meeting his expectations and that if I didn’t improve my performance with in the next few months, he would have no choice but to let me go.

I was shocked by his words and couldn’t help but feel a wave of panic wash over me. I had worked so hard to get to this position and I didn’t want to lose it. I knew that if I were to be fired, it would be a huge blow to my career.

After the meeting, I was so upset that I couldn’t focus on my work. I was filled with stress and anxiety and was afraid to even go into work the next day.

Then, after thinking it over, I decided that I didn’t want to stay at the job and be threatened with termination all the time. I knew that if I stayed, I would be miserable and it wasn’t worth it.

So, I decided to quit without notice, I leave the office straight and my boss has been begging me to come back.

He said: “Sorry I am using the wrong approach to motivate you, you have been one of the best workers. Please come back.”

I told him as I do not like to get threatened. I don’t want to be scared and nervous all the time, but I knew it was the right decision.

I immediately started looking for a new job.
