Let me do the math. 19.59 million NT dollars to retire "comfortably". If I retired now and live to 90, then the annual expense for the 40 years of the rest of my life would be NT.489,750. That is NT.40,812 monthly, or NT.1,360 everyday.

That is not the number of my guess. I don't spend that much money even now. How about you? :o

i don't really get the questions of session 1. they seem to be philosophical, no, maybe abstract? @@
i might be a cynic and, a sceptic as well but, i'm definitely not a bad person!!

For questions in session 1, its all about the first question because 40 years ago it's a revolution to show no credits in the opening.
We got some thoughts like

1. Those actors and actresses and even the director are not famous so it'd better hide them.
2. The director wanted to present a feeling like it's not a movie but a true story which is going happen in the future.

And next with those figures of robots, white soldiers and dark knight those questions were actually asking how they look and their voice can shape the image for audiences/you.


Finally, my apologize that Star Wars is not the same as Star Trek. the title is wrong.

Hi Rock, you probably need to take medical expenses into account. Expenses on medication are expected to climb spirally when we become old and fragile.
