A friend told me recently that I have followers in an air mile club and that my blog's outreach is quite widespread.
He went on to share a screen capture when I expressed my disbelief.
Air mile club?
I haven't clocked a single air mile in years.
When I was much younger, I enjoyed taking flights but not anymore.
I find that it is uncomfortable and inconvenient in more ways than one.
However, the catalyst for this blog was really what a reader shared with me recently and it was something that happened in a Weibo forum in China!

坚决以贫困收入过中产生活本土坡人,很多挺有钱的,却总以中产收入过着贫困线的生活,不舍得吃不舍得穿,铁公鸡一毛不拔,还归因于新加坡太贵啦什么的,明明就是自己格调太低、生活无趣、好吗

你说的让我想起一个非常著名的新加坡人 AK47
他的博客在这里
https://singaporeanstocksinvestor.blogspot.com/
他47岁,不工作了,住永久地契的公寓,未婚,每个月股息红利超过10,000. 新加坡股息免税, 所以他一分钱所得税也不用交。
然而他每天就吃自己做的青菜。在家看书,听音乐,打游戏。好像也不出国旅游。我估计每个月花费不超过一千。
存在即合理。他之所以这样,部分和他小时候经历有关。他的父母本来中产偏上,后来经济危机,差点破产。所以他立志不要走上父母的老路。他年轻的时候曾经一起打三份工。现在,他说他想做他想做的事情。
他经常戴面罩演讲在投资论坛, 很有名。
