He wrote in his post that he knows his parents worked hard to raise them, but he said he was working hard too. He asked others in the group if their generation did have it easy.
SINGAPORE: A man in his mid-20s took to social media to share that his father often criticised him for ‘having it easy’, even though he felt that couldn’t be further from the truth.
He wrote: “I make x5 times starting salary my dad did when he was my age . In his mid-twenties, he can get married, pay for BTO, have 3 kids. Sure, the first few years were a struggle, but he eventually also increased his salary gradually over a decade and lives a comfortable life now. “I can BTO with my gf, but we deffo can’t afford to have kids right off the bat. And we’re already in our late twenties. My parents like to say we have it easy. Say that we earn a lot of money, so should give them more allowance and all. Like you serious bro? If I give you money and luxury, you won’t have grandkids because we won’t be able to afford having children”, he wrote.
In an anonymous post to Facebook page SGWhispers, the man wrote that he was married, but his two younger brothers were not. “So my parents are already old and they told me that I’m not inheriting the HDB flat since I already have my own HDB flat. They don’t have any savings nor cpf since I’m the one giving the most allowance all these years”, he added.
