SINGAPORE: Developers of Optima@Tanah Merah have brought forward the launch of the condominium, which was to have taken place on Friday. 

However, queues formed as early as 4pm on Thursday, prompting the developers to start selling the units.

120 units were sold yesterday with another 150 units to be balloted on Friday.

The 99 year leasehold development has 297 units.

In my seminars, I always share that it is important for us to learn to increase our Financial Intelligence when we don't have much money. Because if you really think about it, what is the difference between S$1,000 and S$1,000,000, it is just a matter of having 3 extra zeros behind, that's all.

Thus, if you don't know how to Manage and Grow S$1,000, when you're given S$1,000,000, you will just "amplify" your mistakes, so instead of making S$1,000 mistake, you make S$1,000,000 mistake.

This is why statistics show that most people who became Rich through lotteries typically end up broke within 5 years after they won their money.

Below is a real life story illustrating what I shared above.
