Blog name inspiration – If I had a million dollars

Hi,

I would just like to share the inspiration for my blog name. I draw my inspiration from the hokkien song 一百万 which means If I had a million dollars. Singapore is a great place to stay in but everything great comes at a great cost too. To enjoy a carefree life, basic needs such as housing and healthcare have to be taken care of. I hope to generate sufficient passive income (rental/dividend) income to cover them. This frees me to take on less stressful/lesser hour job which are likely to be less well paid in order to find the balance in life. Frequently, I have seen extremely hardworking people who worked so hard to the detriment of their health or people who enjoys the moment that they don’t plan for their future. Dalai Lama has this to say and it resonate deeply with me.

We are human being, therefore we need to take a rest every once in a while. However money being an object does not need to rest, we must put it to work harder. The harder money works, the more relax we will be. When we are young, we need to work hard to accumulate enough money capital to make them work harder for us so we can work less. Hope everyone enjoys the song as much as I do.
