Lol, your word is conflicting with each other. did you tried to apply at job market? there is no specific company doing IT security, as far as i know, every company involved web service have their own IT security department.

I think the main problem here is that you prefaced your post with "A guide for young couples etc etc," without qualifying it - hence it's was supposed to apply for many/most/the average young couple.

Ya, did not think much about the terms when writing. Should hide the numbers next time, only percentages will do. Some how when I reread the post, its really sounds like a rabbit troll showing off. Got to apologize for that cry.gif

QUOTE(crazy25kid @ Oct 1 2013, 01:24 PM)
i agree with property price it will easily go over 1mil for private but to go all the way to 1.6...like u said is over
even for people in their 30s and 40s who have savings...can u imagine all your savings being divided by 2.5 (since a lot of ppl here are saying u are 2nd gen so i dun think u have this experience where your life savings get divided 2.5)
for a normal 1mil private property, with abt 30% for initial payment would be 300k...if u were to bring your savings in RM over  sweat.gif  sweat.gif
with that amt of money in their savings...ppl may be more reclined to stay in the comfort zone in my opinion.

well, with your group of PR, yes, they will be forcedreclined to go for private unless they wait (group 1 and 2) or do not declare (group 3) laugh.gif  laugh.gif
currently stuck in group 2 but no money for private either.  sad.gif  sad.gif

the main point for flak u get is as wat rexona said...
numbers sure make a lot more sense when deciding instead of plucking from the air, but it would be better if the numbers were, say in the more realistic range instead of the higher end (car example...LOL).
and with the numbers being thrown around here abt their pay and spending...i would say that one is complete idiot if u fully trust those trolls and a**es
i certainly do not think giving out ridiculous numbers to cover up is human nature either...especially in a place where some are looking for guidance and information
*
OK la last comment on the matters, I said it in the nicest way from my last reply to you, realistic range differs from people to people. Just because you feel that something is out of reach from you doesn't mean that others who can afford it is showing off. To you, the car maybe higher end. Why BM and not Toyota? I take phone for example, assume on the low side, your phone cost at least few hundred yes? Why don't use a 80 dollar don't know what brand phone. You holding a better phone at hand, and you see someone using a 80 dollar phone you feel proud and superior? Most likely you will answer no?
You kept LOL on the car, what's so funny, which I can also LOL to you back why so pathetic... Put it in a mean way, ya I am doing much better that something you feel its higher end just a normal car to me. LOL.

The money we spent on the house and the car came all from our own savings, not a cent from parents. Certainly not a 2nd gen that leech on parents. Worked very hard to get a free tertiary education, not asking for money since I left my home for study at 20, and worked very hard until today for all these. Since when you stop using your parents' money eh?

No, Accenture, the tech and management consulting firm. It used to be part of AA, but AA went down many years ago.

I am sorry if I offended you...as i really did not mean to. notworthy.gif notworthy.gif
i lol-ed that much at the car just because it is more towards higher end option and your example like i said was deemed to target the average ppl, that is all...nothing else
well, what u said abt the car not being in my reach is painfully true...so maybe that is why i am a bit psycho (usually already psycho) and keep lol-ing (consciously or unconsciously).
hopefully one day i can get a car that my wife dream of then maybe if the situation gets even better, my dream car on top of that. laugh.gif laugh.gif
i still in learning the ways to improve...so please forgive my naivety

for the 2nd gen comment...it guess it did not come out the way i wanted it to be (i suck in expressing myself).
what i meant in 2nd gen was parents came over first and you were brought up here..not the cantonese version of 2nd gen (i just thought of this n i suppose that is why u got so pissed off sweat.gif sweat.gif ). for this, i apologize, i am not cantonese...anyone who worked hard and got labelled that definitely have the right to be pissed.
i nvr said the money you forked out for the house and car is not yours
i am just saying for cases of normal average ppl especially those who spent their time growing up and probably started working in m'sia first then move over here, we have a very painful experience of seeing our hard earn savings (in numbers) shrink by a lot because of the conversion (price to pay for migrating but if we decide to go back to retire, we will be laughing until our teeth drop).
housing wise...to be honest, i consider the pricing relatively the same in numbers to back home...just that the type is diff aka hdb here ~ m'sia apt/condo, private here ~ m'sia landed, landed here ~ erm...i duno what to compare laugh.gif laugh.gif
since ppl back in m'sia, slightly above avg income ppl can afford to buy landed...i am very sure u (way above average from how u express yourself) have the capability to do that without a doubt
furthermore, you have mentioned that your worked your butt off with your partner when u started working to come to your position now
so u definitely deserve whatever luxury u can afford now.
i seriously did not mean u leeching or anything...it is just that to be being a 2nd gen (my version...not the canto version) , it is very unlikely that u started working and saving back in m'sia so u do not have the experience of seeing the savings shrink (very painful experience cry.gif cry.gif ).

on having a better life or not...most part is based on whether you deserve it or not (u worked ur butt off for what u want or not)
then, there is a small part which is the situation you were borned into...we can't choose this, but we can choose to either stay in that situation and mope abt it or work harder to climb up.
