Do you think it is a problem if I don't have dreams? I have no aspirations and all I want is to find a good job and earn enough to feed myself and my family. Can that be considered a dream?

Should I be questioning myself to figure out what dreams I have?

I don't think there's a problem with that. I do have friends who are contended with 9-5 work life and their goal is to get married and settle down. This is indeed a dream for them. Living a simple life and able to spend everyday with their family.

I have also came across individuals who are chasing their dreams. When they see their friends settle down and have kids, I often hear them say "I wish my life was simpler. I wish I didn't chase this dream". Of course, it's just a one-time remark. They are still happy with their decision.

I think at the end of the day, it is still up to you to decide what kind of life you want. Never compare because it is vastly different at every stage of life. As long as you are happy and contended, every goal you have can be a dream.

I've always believed the want to pursue greatness comes to any man whether they're small or impossible goals. Definitely no harm to explore for a bit. Who knows you may find a calling right around the corner that'll push you to strive beyond.

Frankly speaking, I was in your shoes and still am in your shoes as of now. :)

But there is a focus point for me recently, which is to fund my upcoming BTO flat ($150,000 to $180,000 loan for both me and my fiance).

Next up, aim to get a decent skillset for yourself (personal growth first) before deciding if you need the extra pay, as higher income comes with very heavy responsibilites at times. But you will never know until you try it. :)

No dreams or aspirations is okay, as long as you are able to survive in Singapore with no outstanding debts and personal liability, especially valid during this harsh COVID-19 / COVID 2020 situation.

Jiayou. :)

Having no-dreams is a dream of its own ;)

A simple life is not wrong, most people are living simple lives, there are more employees than employers out there.
