Here is a suggestion for MOE that I will put into Reach: 1. Open her house to groups of P6, Sec 1, Sec 2 students to do some social work eg taking care of the kids, teaching the kids... 2. Have her tell her story to the same group and her learnings 3. Have the kids work on a "Baby calculator" to understand costs of having a childprickofdeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06111987725957121539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6092311610759487605.post-31979523959626731522015-10-20T10:10:59.420+08:002015-10-20T10:10:59.420+08:00Hi BB,
Yea, don't need to wake up early today...Hi BB,<br /><br />Yea, don't need to wake up early today. :P Then must know where to work hard and smart on...<br /><br />The problem is 6 children from 2 failed relationship and she had another 4 with the current husband? I know our country needs to increase our birth rates, but this is not the way to do it. <br /><br />Also, with a combined salary of $3K and 6 child to raise when they got married, they must have known that they are going deeper into the abyss. If so, then why are they not actively looking for better employment or seek assistance? Why bring 4 more life into this world to add to their struggles?<br /><br />People are normally happy with their lives with their monthly paychecks. But failure to plan ahead will result in a lot of problems. One day, we will have to stop working due to a variety of reasons (injury, retirement, unemployable, etc.) but the bills will still come monthly without fail.

Actu...Hi investingwolf,<br /><br />You're up late today!<br /><br />Actually, why not work hard AND smart? :D<br /><br />It could be possible - the Lins don't sound like they are highly educated folks. If only I knew them though, I would definitely advise them to consider driving, it seems like a lucrative career these days in SG! Other than that, there are also a ton of other jobs out there that don't necessarily require academic certs to do yet be paid well. Just read about a guy who earns $4k a month by helping other people to do their grocery shopping! Talk about smart ;)Budget Babehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05940384920609566419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6092311610759487605.post-28210043907946016682015-10-20T01:02:48.809+08:002015-10-20T01:02:48.809+08:00Totally agree on the quote "Don't work ha...Totally agree on the quote "Don't work hard, work smart". <br /><br />"According to Tan Han Shek, senior counsellor of Touch Community Services, the Lins may not know much about birth control nor how to manage their resources, leading to their current state of affairs."... seriously?InvestingWolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549878402720782770noreply@blogger.com
