    Talking How to become a millionaire

    The morning TV news talks about millionaires in HK - people who have more than 1 million of floating cash. Millionaires in HK are getting younger and most of them live on HK Island, many live in the New Territories, and the least of them live in Kowloon. 1 in 7 persons on HK Island is a millionaire, Wow. One interviewee said he worked 7 days a week, at least 12 hrs a day.

    They were only talking about HK$ millionaire, not US$. I expect that covers most expats who have been here 5 years or more unless they are seriously spendthrift...

    As usual, Hemlock has something good to say about it (see Friday's entry).

    As Hemlock pointed out, if we were in Vietnam we'd only need US$ 62 (HK$ 487) to be a millionaire!!

    Kinda reminds me of a trip to Bali where you need a massive wad of notes in your wallet just for a night out!

    The quickest way of having a million dollars in Hong Kong is by starting off with 2 million dollars!

    Am I the only one who loves working absurd hours? Takes my mind of how mundane and predicatable life can be.
