In time to come, those above 35 years of age do not have
to work. Selling off their million dollar HDB homes will take care of
early retirement. Who knows, we may even be like the USA with citizens
living on the streets. They call it a 'lifestyle choice' when homes
become unaffordable, though still very affordable according to official
narratives, for some folks. With every family having two or three HDBs,
ie the elderly and two kids, even renting out one home is good enough to
tide them through.
In time to come, Singapore will be a
retirement paradise. Citizens do not have to work till 65, just live on
the rental of their properties at age 35, and do not have to work after
that. Now with HDB flats selling above a million dollars happening a
dime a dozen, life is really so good that not many think it necessary to
work, with all the added subsidies thrown at them. They are even asking
for applications to participate in various schemes. No wonder so many
foreigners are rushing for citizenship.
But as they say, all
good things must come to an end sooner or later. Just like the Whites
and now the Japanese. They used to say that Japan is a rich country with
poor people. In the past of course.
