I ♥ Squadron 11:59 PM

From work Squadron fetched me and we headed off to TM, met Khai at Lj's.

Was discussing and planning about my financial needs and saving surpluses. Only then I realised, to retire, you need a min of $500k to sustain you for the rest of your living lifetime. That is, the same amount that is spent now, and come to think of it again, I think $500k is somewhat to little. In addition to my education advancement, marriage planning, luxury of vehicles, housing and start of family with kids of two, I somewhat reach a rough estimation of close to a million. Woah, I didn't know that I could spend that much. But honestly, now I know how rich a millionaire is. No comments for trillionaire. It's like they're living, awaiting for death, and having too much surpluses they sometimes don't even know what to do with it. Sidetrack. Still, I need to rethink of the proposal.

Was talking with Squadron about the planning of our future. My future now involves him as well. For whichever path that I take, he'll be affected. My point of life that stands in front of me, is marriage or education advancement.

Squadron, you do hit a point. My education advancement is primary, and marriage is secondary to me. But at times I think I'm being unreasonable and selfish, should I head on with education advancement. Tho yes, the advantage of it is career advancement for a comfortable future, but wouldn't it be unfair for me to keep you in the waiting game?

Marriage should be by choice. And now I do have to make a choice. For by which path that I take, it takes estimation of 2yrs each. Hence, Insyallah by 5yrs, all is settled down.

Only now is, which path should I head of first? Once chosen, there is no turning back.

Squadron, I just hope you stay by me. For which ever path I choose, you have to be there for me, stay by me and direct me should I be falling.
