    Within reason. I wouldn't have another kid just because the package includes debentures and tuition for two.

    Not clear to me why everyone hates bankers so much.

    Something like 95% of jobs are bullshit anyway, so you might at least take one that is well paid.

    Not everyone is 50 with a fantastic package, I would rather say a lot of people are 30-40 and in a tough spot right now.

    Lol far from jealousy.

    Considering I have multiple properties in UK and HK all debt and mortgage free I have nothing to be jealous of as I’m doing more than fine for myself.

    I’m just saying I have zero sympathy for those that don’t save for a rainy day and still believe that they’re going to have a job for life.

    You were just lucky you got out when you did.

    To be fair, kicking Bankers is usually an accepted year-round, up-or-down (perhaps more-so up) sport.
