During my Grandpa time an ordinary worker income can afford a tael of gold (37.5gm) base on today price probably about RM 5K, do you see any general worker get that kind of pay today ?
Back in the 50-60's even a very basic job worker earning RM 100++ salary can afford a house (with cash some more) as house was like few thousand ringgit, fast forward today basic job RM 1000++ pay while house is few hundred thousand, so house to income is 10X jump.
So dulu dulu, sekarang sekarang, don't "Yi Lou mai Lou" (Showing off experience just because you r old" ...
My self also very often feel youngster nowsdays really very must smarter & wiser than "old" folks like us..
If every one in their 40's turn director, GM, then one company should have more GM than junior staff
Sorry to be rude to "senior" people " Ur thinking outdated already lah " han fan ti lah

Oh...sombongnya...
if u want to talk about dulu dulu....ok. during your grandpa time, which era? 50s? 60s? 70s? Do u know that time is how different than now? Their income even may be 1-1.5k is consider very high already. Plus that time dont really have smart phone, star bucks, pubs, ktvs, holiday package here n yhere, luxury bags etc. Most of the money earn can channel into buying a house.
from your tone, I guess your grandpa must have bought lots of properties n gold n u ll sit there to inherit it from your father.
another, if you talking about those earnings 1000+, still dream of buying few hundred thousands house, then, u may as well think buying millions dollar house better. There are plenty of below 100k house around but why dont buy it? Your grandpa time may be buying those wooden house too n why dont u talj about same standard???
If you cant make it to higher level in your career, be prepared tobe stuck in your current position now. Dont envy others who had succeeded. Sorry to say that u r stuck n cant get out from your incompetency.
Pity u.....but u still can upgrade yourself n it ll never too late
