how much do you earn in a month?

if you are earning a four figure sum - preferably not reaching 9k, then thank you, for being one of us. i'll have you believe that there are tons more people out there that earn truck loads of money than T.T Durai does. and when you realise it's all over the place, i'm sure you'd do T.T as well.

let me review 2 scenarios i've gotten wind of recently.

to get the picture right, let me start by saying, this was heard from somebody i know personally, with enough maturity in my opinion to not be making up incredulous stories. according to this person, his cousin (who is in his thirties) earns about 25k a month. SGD mind you! i reckon the money really is in banking after all. according to this person, the cousin drives a ferrari, and owns several other cars. a car collector damn it! his dad gave him a car after he got his driving license. a mercedes benz! gawd i'm going green. commanding such a high salary, this person had also been buying lots of branded stuff, and according to the person i know, hardly wears the stuff he buys once before deciding he doesn't want them. and he'd ask his relatives (aka people like the one i know) when they go over to his (big) house, if they'd want the stuff. otherwise he's going to throw them away anyway. >_>

scenario 2 is a bit less dramatic. it seems to me that there are plentiful of job positions in the private industry (even more so in banking) that have signs of people commanding high salaries. the source... of which i can't mention much.

of course in their defense, these people probably have the expertise and experience to fulfil the requirements for their positions. they'd have the capability to lead of course. but looking at the pay figures... my jaw would hit the ground even if i were standing on the kitchen table (just a figure of speech). that is a really big truck load of money they earn. seriously, i'd think that for them to be able to achieve this is no mean feat. you'll need a good combination of luck, skills, talent, and even PR skills to get to the top. maybe a lot less scruples too i speculate. no matter. if they keep the economy moving, so be it. i'm just on the lower end of the economical food chain...
