8days.sg met the 54-year-old actor earlier this month at the Fix My Life press conference, where he talked to us about the value of saving up, and finding his purpose in life.
Toughest thing ah… The toughest thing was not knowing what I wanted. I didn't know what life is about.
In my twenties, when I was with Mediacorp. I thought I had everything at that point, but I was wrong. You know, smoking a packet of cigarettes costs about $10, and I used to smoke one packet a day. So I tried to keep $10 each day [in a box]. You don’t feel the pinch mah, and I did that for two years. When I looked at [my savings], I had accumulated S$7K plus leh. It was like winning the lottery.
Now when I save money, I realise that I can put it aside for the kids’ insurance and for red packets during Chinese New Year. I don’t have to worry about money because I have a lump sum of savings instead of needing to find it when the bills come.
