Better to be fashionably late than never.

Regardless of whether someone starts early or starts late, as long as one arrives, thats all that matters.

Like many, i was a laggard of sorts as it took a lot of convincing for me to come but come i did. :)

Its better to arrive late or for some fashionably late than not at all. I would rather be a 80 year old man
living here now with options than to be in 20s-30s and stuck somewhere or worse neither here nor there.

There are definitely bros who did well even in their 20s or earlier(respect) but also seniors who arrived after 50.

Regardless who you are, it doesn't even matter if your next plans are for Malaysia, Thailand or AU/NZ.
The point is to have a plan rather than depend on the [B]goodwill[/B] of our government.

I remembered an old story about a fish and water merchant, the water merchant basically told the fish to wait until he comes back, fully laden with water from the stream/capital. By the time you come back, said the poor fish, i would have been a dried up skeleton in the dust.

Many of us, no matter how comfortable we are right now, are basically like the fish, flopping around in the dust. We need to do something before we get dried up (read: old) and gets tossed into the dirt like yesterdays newspaper, might be still relevant but no longer fresh.
