Would you pay a maid S$25 000/mth for her devotion to you?

[quote=\"minnie2004\"]I would do the same if I had $6mn (or even more) and no kids and relatives, and no particular charity I would like to donate the money to. This maid is practically my closest family member. Who else should I give the money to? My pet turtle?


It's not about whether I'm willing to pay her for her loyalty, it's about whether I have a choice in terms of how to dispose the $$.

It's also meaningless to break down the $6mn into monthly payments. Not to mention the time value of money (i.e. 25k monthly payment over 20 years will add up to much more than $6mn), this employer certainly would never pay the maid 25k a month for 20 years.

Your pet turtle?? Why not? There're cases whereby the inheritance of rich people was willed to their pet upon their death.

The S$25000/mth (average) is just for discussion purpose only. You think me and others are really interested in the details of monthly payment over 20 yrs with time value of money, interests etc? Just leave out the details lah

Knowing that such a case is one in don't know how many millions then the discussion of such subject should be taken on a lightrer note, ok? Just adopt a humourous approah in such discussions lah. No need to have serious discussions.

:roll:

This maid must be really lucky then as her employer didn't even have pets! I would be so :stupid: :mad: if i was this maid and my doctor employer left the money to her dog instead of leaving it to me, after me working for her loyally for 20 years! :rant:

Of course I know the whole discussion is for fun and no one really cares or even understands the time value of money. My point was that no employer would ever pay a maid 25k a month, no matter how loyal, devoted she is, in any part of the world. Unless if you're paying her to do extra jobs, other than the duties of a maid, that is :evil:[/quote]In this case ah then the pet dog gets half and you get half lor. Happy or not? If not then you and the dog can go to the court to slug it out

I used my company as an example, and that states I am not BETTER OFF THAN THAT MAID. BUT the example does not state that I am NO BETTER THAN THAT MAID. That is YOUR OWN WORDS which are offensive!!!

I wrote it and I explained the implication. Thats it. If you want to interpret otherwise it's up to you.

:xedfingers:

:xedfingers: You can be sure I will :siam: from people who made such \"implication\"!!! Some people just need to relearn prepositions, brush up his English else he continues mis-interpreting his own offensive remarks!

ok ok just to have more fun in this thread:


the $25k/month maid is even better paid than our MP - TPL :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

[carebear]

I think most of us won’t mind being the maid.

Not many of us can earn $25 k a month.
I, for one, will gladly quit my profession to do domestic work if I am paid that amount.

This maid simply strikes toto after 20 years, it is as simple as that… How many people strike toto in their lifetime? A handful…only.
