Who says high income protects you from debt?
Take this hard truth, even a renowned doctor wasn't spared. He earned big, but still sank into S$48 million of debt and became an undischarged bankrupt. Eventually fined for hiding over S$4 million in assets. Status didn’t save him. Income didn’t protect him.
Debt doesn't care who you are.
It doesn’t discriminate between titles, degrees, or monthly salary.
It quietly grows, until one day, it explodes.
