Sentosa is a foreigners’ enclave designed by government for good reasons. Those rich millionaires living their dream lifestyle in landed properties with boats docked behind it or luxury condos, enjoy the privacy without average singaporean getting green eyes with rage/jealousy. I was once invited to such places for afternoon tea and I couldn’t believe my eyes. I thought I was out of Singapore!! When I left in a taxi, I was a bit distressed by the feeling that I’m a 2nd- class citizens in my own country for no good reasons. As I chatted with the cab driver on my experience, he simply laughed that I should not be affected because I’m luckier than many other people all over the world. Then I realised these foreigners in Sentosa are the elite of respective countries where they come home. Comparing myself to these Uber rich is kind of silly. I’m in my mid 50s, my 3-room flat in city-fringe area is fully paid, no mortgage or credit card/car loans to worry, my CPF & personal savings are sufficient for retirement in 3 years time. I count my blessing.
Yer agreed those are the top 0.1% of the world, not even Singapore. The founder of Facebook lives there. I’ve fallen into the comparison trap many times. I bring myself back by reminding myself how lucky I am.
Well said . I would like to add something . I worked many years in healthcare . When someone dies , there is not one thing they take with them. Not even the clothes on their back . With that said it must be great to have a luxurious life here on earth , without worrying about money . . One more thing : the greatest wealth you can have is your health . All the riches in the world mean nothing without it . ❤
Thank you for sharing. As with any country or neighborhood can vary 3 blocks away. I learned to never assume one person or one block represents a whole nation.
Max, your guests keep getting relevant, relatable and informative…needless to mention, your simple but spot on queries make these chats all the more interesting, and something to learn from. Good going!
Entering my 40s, I feel that I can't do what those 20s and 30s without kids can do. One's age isn't a limiting factor for a number of businesses and professions. Thank you for the reminder!
I think he's after greatness, not happiness. To be at the level success where he is, his interest of accomplishment is much superior than of reaching simple happiness.
The bar to live, work, retire in Singapore is very high. Max won’t be interviewing any strugglers from Singapore, unless, of course, they are Singaporean.
would be curious to know what the nationalities of these foreigners are that same to populate this small area in Singapore. My guess is the Russians? It is important that these foreigners aren't involved in the political system in Singapore otherwise it will be like America where the government and politicians are controlled by large corporations and the elites that serve themselves.
A celebratory video for reaching 100k subs! Congrats Max! I'm been thinking about Singapore lately... 🤔😊 #investmentoptions #futurefamily #formyeconomy
I would love to live personally in Singapore but unfortunately most people cannot afford to retire in Singapore. I was an expat for 2 years and loved it but had to return to Sydney and that’s expensive enough 🙏
honestly somebody living in Sentosa cannot express any judgement about what living in Singapore is like. the 0.1% lives very well anywhere in the world.
Henry Ford started his first motor company at the age of 36. It failed. He started the company we know as the Ford Motor Company in 1903 at the age of 39. Harlan Sanders had a whole series of businesses, some successful, some not, and started selling fried chicken at the age of 44, as a sideline to his petrol station business. He invented his deep-fried chicken made in a pressure cooker he had personally modified some time around 1940, when he was about 50, and made his first franchise deal when he was 52. This was just a franchise to sell chicken cooked to his method, not a restaurant. Expansion was rapid from 1955, when he was 65, and he sold the company when he was 73, albeit staying on as an employee with a responsibility for quality control and retaining ownership of the Canadian franchise. I don't think 39 is that late to start a motor company. Ford had become an experienced car engineer, by then having personally designed and built several from scratch. Harlan Sanders was a late starter with the company that made his name, certainly, but he was a serial entrepreneur before then. I think he wound up starting his own businesses because he was too pig-headed to work for anyone else. I don't dispute you can start a business later in life, I just don't think it's that unusual, because for many it's not until later in life that you get the confidence or experience to run one, or find yourself with no other option. Technology startups contradict that, of course.
Макс, привет! Помню где-то видео твои попадались давно еще русскоязычные. Вот не помню то ли ты инфоцыганством занимался, то ли инфоцыган разоблачал. Есть где-то видео как ты вообще в Сингапуре оказался? Это другой уже канал у тебя?
Singapore is a nice place to visit for a week but 6 million people crammed in a country( yes country) of just 280 sq miles gives me claustrophobia. Not to mention heat ,humidity and exorbitant cost of average stuff. And they do have an unconcious subtle hierarchy of races.Still colonial in mindset😊😊😊 Love to all
Robertson Quay lol yeah that's very true. Overall singapore is multi culture but u also see pockets of different countries culture in places. The cross culture bit usually is driven by cross culture relationships (bfgf spouse etc) or by colleagues gathering after work.
@@boredscientist5756That's not true. Europeans are the biggest migrant group in the world, with more than 500 million European migrants living in Non-European lands. No group of people has so many migrants as the Europeans. They have migrated in millions to all the places in the world.
@@asmirann3636 WTF are you talking about. You mean the whole population of the EU migrated? You make NO SENSE, the EU population is...448M.... So you assume that ALL left the EU, get real brother 😂?
@@boredscientist5756 Europeans have been migrating since 500 years. 250 million European origin migrants live in US. Add the migrants in Australia, Canada, Africa, Americas and you will find that more than 500 million European migrants exist. Also, EU alone is not Europe. Europe has countries that are not part of EU. Add their population, then the total number of Europeans in Europe is around 700 million plus. While the migrant European population is 500 million plus. And don't start with the lame logic that Canadians or Australians or etc. are not European origin migrants. Just by sticking an imaginary label, it doesn't change the fact that all of them migrated from Europe at some point of time.
@@boredscientist5756 I'm not vouching for the accuracy of the statement that "Europeans are the biggest migrant group of the world", but I read that differently than you did. The writer meant that Europeans are the biggest migrant group to other lands outside Europe from the past until today, not just at this exact point in time. The colonial past of many countries in Asia, Africa and all of the Americas is a testament to that.
To foreigners. The era of SPG workships white men has ended 10 yrs ago. High salaries come with stress. Every 1 if business failed, retrenched & exams failed. Mental sickness. Face the truth. Good luck in pursue of migrating into the red dot.
This guy is American. Also, if you study the history of British occupation, we walked away a lot better than countries occupied by other colonies. Our leaders were also educated in UK, and built the country on UK legal and educational structure. I don't even want to think what would have happened to us if we were part of Malaysia. It's super easy to hop on the "coloniser" train without understanding the context. Colonisation should be condemned, but back up your statement instead of a single word.
@@superlynnieSingapore was nothing but a transshipment hub when British ruled it. They brought "Coolies" from China and soldiers from India to manage it. They were doing noone a favor. There was no Democracy, no human rights and no progress. Singapore, as it is today, was built after independence from colonial rule. Its built on very strong work ethics within an asian culture ecosystem, which were created by the Singaporean leadership post independence. So colonial rule has no hand in it. If Singapore was still under colonial rule, then your existence wouldn't have been much better than an animal. South Africa, under apartheid, is a great example of what colonial rule was really about.
Americans can be colonizer. White Americans to be specific. Though it is a term referred to colonial white americans. Though the term applies to people of different ethnicities and nationalities trying to change or in some way influence the socio, economic, and political landscape of a country that is not their own.@@superlynnie
Agreed. it was changed and achieved its best state when it was released from the colonizing hands of the britihsh. It became a true, rich state under the prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew, who really reshaped Singapore. The British were nothing more than selfish bastards that used Singapore to better and enrich the UK and the crown. It seems we have a colonizer fetishist among us. @@asmirann3636

I love Singapore!!! I lived there for 6 years!!! Will go again! ❤
Spoke with Robert a few weeks ago, he struck me as a really qualified guy.
Entering my 40s, I feel that I can't do what those 20s and 30s without kids can do. One's age isn't a limiting factor for a number of businesses and professions. Thank you for the reminder!
Thank you Mr. Robert Chadwick.....thank you from a Singaporean
I think he's after greatness, not happiness. To be at the level success where he is, his interest of accomplishment is much superior than of reaching simple happiness.
Every sentence with this fellow is a question. Uptalking. It's a trend among American women mainly.
The bar to live, work, retire in Singapore is very high. Max won’t be interviewing any strugglers from Singapore, unless, of course, they are Singaporean.
Thanks for the video, Max. Happy 2024!
Great start to the new year, Max!
Boston is beautiful too

It is important that these foreigners aren't involved in the political system in Singapore otherwise it will be like America where the government and politicians are controlled by large corporations and the elites that serve themselves.
I like his meaning of life = happiness! plain and simple... yet profound if you delve a little deeper into what he was saying about that 😀

Lol..i am a singaporean chinese and went to ireland and the irish kid looks really surprised to see me
Max... Christina here from Malaysia...love ya videos
I love Singapore, but not rich. So I cannot live there
And he probably doesn't know that just across the road from Robertson Quay, the Hdb flats at Jalan Kukoh is kind of like the ghetto in Singapore!
@max 7:00 error, he says Niseko (in hokkaido) here not osaka, hence the follow up to your preference to visit there :)
SIN is just a place to spend their younger days.
I think the best indication that one is a "local" is when you intend to be buried there.
Entire Island is Australien! = Bali
Lol
I learn a lot from this video. Thank you, Max.
Happy to be in contentments, not happy to be in greedy wrong-bad-nopeish!
Colonel Sanders started KFC when he was 59, not in his 80’s, but he certainly wasn’t a spring chicken (pun intended)
Who provides 75% financing for random foreigners to buy say US properties? For 30 years fixed rates, no less? Something doesn't smell right.
You have Obviously never done it! Its called a First Mortgage over the Asset ... and in some cases 2nd Mortgage 🤑
@@Sema4beach I've tried getting mortgages overseas before but local banks will typically not help you unless you are resident
I See .. Things change in 40 Yrs 😂😂 .. I actually only provided Financing to Mostly Unit Developers etc in SA OZ! ...

Everyone is immigrants! close-similiar with to like USA, except Legendary Durians! Respect Durians the REAL Nativeriginal !!
too hot, too expensive, but nice people.
Speculative buying and pushing up property prices 🙄🙄🙄
Sorry but I have to say. It’s impossible to live here because of this inflation. Inflation is worse than what it was now.

He says ''i am in a place with only foreigners'' and then jokes saying ''am I in London?" Xxx wrong exemple, 😅

Looked at Robertson Quay with Google maps and saw only about 25% Caucasian. But still a lot.
