Not entirely convincing, but I am not saying you can't do it your way lah

One can earn decent, no need to be high, live a slightly better life and still invest aggresively

Still can reach FIRE who knows even faster than anyone here including you

At least no need to skimp on everything

Even my expenses can be B40, but I still manage to eat out, holiday overseas (not frequent still few times up to now) yet paid off my house very soon

Still, my passive income overtook my active income and FIRED

There is not only one way that could work, but still there are better ways to make it work

Well diff ppl diff need but at least with better pay you will have more options and do not need to skimp

With better pay you can CHOOSE to skimp or not to

With low pay, you will have no choice or option to

As simple as that


EDIT:

oh just to add on since you mentioned about hate on job & people

Everywhere you work there will definately be troublemakers which might include your direct superior so since you will need to endure why not endure with higher pay

Well

Nothing wrong ya.. hard to find such filiai son nowadays

Well aren't these all are just basic knowledge

Well I don't really believe all these so called guru singing their songs, not like you know it is true or just made up figures

I did it less hectic my way not needing to skimp still managed to FIRE what... lol

Well I on another hand disagree because I am lucky I didn't read such nonsense and get demotivated at work before FIRE

Just because "I can invest to FIRE" even when I am poor why need to go extra miles at work

At least you have more options but not just buta buta the B40 way LOL

No such thing as I don't want meeting, don't want to do decision making, don,t want upskill or do MBA but I want to ask for more by only keep doing what I am doing now

Dream on

well not interested with all your guru story

on your workforce story it is rather obvious already what is the cause

hoping employer to be appreciative? lol

it is just a binding contract, they paid you salary dude what not appreciative? lol

then you have a boss who can't think out of the box stuck in the same place same SME same paygrade forever

even demotivating the subordinate to be contented lol

eh want to expect no jam then autobahn is the wiser choice (I know not ITA tho)

that being said, I didn't notice anyone really drive fast there altho it is famous for no speed limit

I am more curious what kind of dead end industry that is but that will always remain as a mystery

Whatever la ou want read go read none of them interest me

That is why you got a useless superior and you believed what she said lol

Once one of my director told me off bys aying we are not frontliner don't expect pay as those running the operation

Immediately I know I won't go far under such boss

Jumped to another co, huge payrise, boss got me extra from what HR offered, made my life easy for all my travel and mobile allowance (no need receipt) and ensure I got my bonus even just joined for few months

And it is in Malaysia

No perfect company, but only you have yourself to blame to not look out for better one

But it is just too naive to say no good company in Malaysia because 2 of my companies worked for sucks

Despite paying more tax than you in my working years I also get to enjoy it when I am FIRED now (hospital, petrol, TNB)

Maybe I should thank you instead as you are still contributing to the system now, while I am currently enjoying without contributing already

Doesn't matter the fact is you're still contributing while me enjoying your tax money fully FIRE-ed

Well can't complain

Whatever in the front is just a definition for me

As long as no problem sustaining lifestyle and own whatever we want reasonably that's FIRE

Right the person who was driving did tell me some part of it is still with speed limit imposed

Perhaps diff timing & diff stretch we were at

Hence, diff encounter
