Jobs involve physical risks and opportunity costs. There are plenty of truly poor people out there who I really do think would rather be homeless than toil dangerously. 9.70 doesn't pay for a broken arm or back pain years down the line

May I suggest "Tourists might be asked"? Or even better, "US might ask tourists to hand in..."???? Get asked? Sure, the meaning is conveyed fine, but "get" is this mysterious slang construction from my generati

Howdy pal, yes absolutely I can think of some tips!! Most people will tell you about the 4% rule, which to me roughly means "the percentage of your portfolio that you can withdraw every year without decreasing your portfolio's ori

Thank you for your helpful and thoughtful reply! Potatoes and spinach are two of my dietary staples, so it is alarming to see them on the "dirty dozen" list. Would scrubbing, washing, peeling, cooking, etc do something to the &quo

Dreaming doesn't pay the bills. I can't dream about performing surgery on someone. If someone had taught me everything I needed to know to be a decent surgeon, and then introduced me to some important people hiring surgeons, and t

Make enough money that you can invest most of it into a relatively safe trading strategy. Once that investment allows you to withdraw 1-2k per month, quit your job. You will now be paid enough money to fulfill the costs of sitting at home a

DigitalOcean are good people for sharing this. They provide a good service and good price point. It's funny how this outage was similar to Amazon's a month or so ago. Automated playbooks with high user credentials have been a bit

Whether I do or don't, they're just going to imprison me until I comply with a judge's order to turn over the password I've forgotten from all the police beatings and solitary confinement I would have been through at the

Haha, I enjoyed your response! Corn fields and meth labs! I like open spaces and less people, so corn fields are ok. Meth heads are alright if they keep to themselves, which they usually don't :) But when I read what you wrote, I am re

The pay is actually shockingly all over the place, in my opinion. The reason for this is that income tax is virtually non existent, so thats 30% less that they need to pay you compared to the US. Then when you factor in the CPF, which is a

My answers are elsewhere in this thread, but Yishun/Lim Chu Kang's greenspace and weather will forever be infinitely preferable to Boston in my mind. And it's cheaper!!

I can respect your point of view! I am glad it is working out and is enjoyable and profitable for you. Personally I feel that some of the upsides you've listed can be accomplished virtually. But it's all good! To each their ultima

No worries, thanks for the article! I would say that if you are trying to recreate an American lifestyle with a car, house, designer shopping, dining out, etc. Yes, Singapore is the most expensive city in the world. But there is extremely l

If I were to specify further, I don't mean to insult anyone who lives in the Bay Area and is enjoying it. These problems are common across many cities. But I would say, to think there are no profitable and enjoyable alternatives to the

Happily, pal! It'll be a mix of what I've learned personally and what I've heard. Forgoing a car will save you 100s of thousands USD. No point in owning one unless you are a banker or you have elderly family to take around wh

I wouldn't advise illegally immigrating to Singapore, because they probably wouldn't let you back in if they found out :) For me specifically, I applied to a program for young professionals to intern in Singapore, to see how they

If you attempt to recreate the most particularly American aspects of life, namely car ownership, home ownership, dining out, purchasing clothing, yes, you will pay out the nose. Singapore's government runs a budget surplus off of consu

The weather and cost situation isn't that much better in Boston, but it is definitely more commutable than SF. Personally I would eschew megalopolises all together!

Sure, cash is important. I would argue that some small percentage of people are required to be in the Bay Area for years before they receive a massively lucrative multi million dollar payout from their company stock or what have you. But th

And while I have nothing in particular against the Bay Area, I would encourage people to think very deeply about the very awesome and simple alternatives to living in the Bay: Why would you want to live in a crowded, VERY expensive, a bit s

Do FPGAs have a future beyond "prototyping non-memory intensive algorithms for eventual ASIC implementation"? It seems to me that the scale out + scale up method of x86 and GPUs are the most promising and profitable arenas still,

I do think nukes are the primary reason, much like with Iran. But you see a trend with Iran, Russia, China, NK- when the country is too legitimate to invade (compared to little Serbia or Somalia), isolation and sanctions are pursued. Perhap

They've also found that kids who kill bugs and squirrels go on to become serial killers at slightly higher rates than "normal people" :) I doubt the CIA is only involved in one technical attack and not others.
