Saw a similar thread at taxi driver forum, maybe should open up
one thread here for friendly discussion.
Some forummers over there claim that limousine drivers earning
good money?
No doubt, among circles of friends, many cabbies stay in private
property, but there’s always a lot of history or stories behind
it.
For myself, I’m staying in landed property, not that I earn a
lot through driving taxi, commitment to a roof over our head is
very individual.
Those time, with some lady luck and good buy, I able to commit
myself to this present home.
Really not like some forummers saying that had to slog like
hell.
If without that opportunity, one also dare not commit to high
risk investment, and this apply to all industries.
There’s nothing to show off with, is just a house to me.
Hope this thread will attract some friendly debate on this
topic, good days.
Bro.
If you have bought it
previously (probably many yrs back), I can only said you
have made a good investment & with a good foresight.
Many of us are probably working in other industries before
coming into TD driving (that's after the age of 30+). With
the current average revenue (income) of a TD, it is very difficult
to even afford a small condominium apartment.
He (TD) may has to drive for many years w/o spending a cent of
his revenue just to pay for the downpayment, which is not possible.
(pls correct me if I'm wrong).
As for me, a common HDB 4room flat is already a
blessing. 
. I do have
some TDs' kakis staying in
condo, but they have purchased
the properties before they come into this TD trade.
Some of them even paid off their mortgages (before they
became cabbies). 
Amazing,
but it is true....
So, at current phrase in life, these kakis are those
"eat full, nothing to do"
type.... Maybe Sam is one of them.
