Auntie: hey brother, u dont use communicator?

Uncle8888:  How are you?

Auntie: Ok not too bad la….busy… i wanted to ask you what u think of FCL bond, but anyway I went in already. 7 yrs at 3.5% not bad right?  


Uncle8888: Not too bad if you have surplus cash.

Auntie:  What we all sure have surplus cash la…I worked 40+ yrs if u don’t know

Uncle8888: Simulate your number and see whether you need to invest your money harder. (Send her worksheet on retirement planning)

    2. CW,

      Whenever you''re ready, I'll come volunteer to help with the "promotion" part.

      I'll suggest you put a "as you wish" box for people to donate whatever amount they so wish.

      I attended the Alpha course 2 years ago and they have a box like that too. It's not to profit; but the amount collected can help pay for buying some refreshments for future classes mah!

      And yes, when asked, I'll still tell people I'll argue with you till the end of time!

      LOL!
