I cannot understand.........

1) My colleague is earning $180,000 annually and was recently made bankrupt.Credit card debt $50k
Signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement and cannot settle.... being sued.

2) My boss is retiring, worked 40 years on the job ( also high-income earner)
His only saving is his house and recently sold for 3.5 million. He and his wife will have a retirement fund of $3 million (after paying off debt), no other saving.
He is lucky that his property (life style block) increased in value, that is where his retirement will depend on.


i am a junior in the office, an immigrant earning about $60k, humble living and have a mortgage-free home ( no rich parents, on our own saving before immigrating).
Still think I can survive well and better than my boss who is 20 years my senior and my high-income colleague.

That is something I can't understand.

I cannot understand that people still judging others by money. You, you colleague and your boss all eat same (human food) and sleep same (the bed), how are you better than them ? I cannot understand!

You gotta enjoy life somehow..

I cannot understand why you think you with $60k (gross) a year can live better than a couple who have $3m cash on hand.

do you drink a couple of bottles of wine when you dine out?  it's all about how you live your life and how they live theirs. Also, some people are good at managing finances while some aren't.

人与人之间怎么相比，消费水平，水准和习惯都不一样。

应该生活方式不同。
像我本人吃饭基本是上超市买来自己做，所以钱比较经花。
我的同事几乎每天都在外面吃至少一顿，在外面喝个咖啡，饮料之类的也是随随便便的事，工资再高也是月光。

老板有300w退休金挺不错的了啊

well savings wise you are better than the one who got bankrupt, but not sure you are better than your boss since he got 3m. if you have more than 3m thats different story then. Also I couldn't see whats your point unless you are earning more than em.

:TicklyRain:

人家享受过诗和远方了，而你只看到眼前房子和为数不多的票子。

自己过好就行了，你同事过得如何不好评论，但你老板比你自在多了，套了现那可就是6m现金，到小城市买个1m的房子，过过lifestyle，剩下的5m，光投资的收益就够他们正常花销了，剩下大头花费，就从里面抽就好了，活到100 没啥问题

你有个房子又能如何，坛子里谁没房子？ 没贷款的都一把一把的，就算这边没房子的，国内北上广深谁家还没两套房子，所以，不用太执着，有钱是一方面，另一方面是怎么变得更有钱，你说是吧，哈哈哈哈

Me no income, on benefit
Still spends couple hundreds eating out

归根到底是价值观不同。只是想探讨：你所说的你比他们好，指哪些方面？什么标准？谁规定的？
Your statement indicates that you are wiser than them in managing money. right? anything else?

Congratulations

Good on you :-)

The real thing that matters is that you need to enjoy your life, and though your 180,000 annual earner colleague getting bankrupt proves him to be a loser (only "for now"), your boss is the real winner, he enjoyed his life, still with more than 3m asset for his retirement, wish I could do the half of that when I hit the retirement age

好好过自己的日子哦～～

lets review the case after 20 yrs.

我看楼主活的这么自信坦然就知道楼主没几个钱了，因为钱越多，烦恼越多
