bto woes
Not that I’m planning on getting a BTO anytime soon (well to
get one I would need a future spouse, who is currently nowhere in sight), but
yesterday over coffee my friend was charting a path for a typical Singaporean.
Technically if you want to have kids by, say, 28, to avoid
all sorts of complications involved in the birthing process which tend to
increase as a woman blossoms, then you would want to have a place to call your
own. Since the wait for a BTO takes about 5 years, the latest you should
register for one would be when you’re 23. Which means you should already be
dating/ looking to settle down at age 22. WHICH IS NOW (for me).
That’s just ballistic because at age 22 how are you sensible
or mature enough to decide if someone is THE RIGHT ONE.
Then the discussion of ‘loving the person you marry’ vs ‘marrying
the person you love’ came up. Are they mutually exclusive? Or should a marriage
be about marrying the person you love while knowing that you will have to grow
to love the person you’ve married?
Just a random thought that came out of a lazy Sunday
afternoon. I doubt HDB will be receiving an application from me anytime soon. HAHA
