QUOTE(Larrylow @ Nov 14 2011, 09:45 PM) Let's say a freshie earns 2k-3k, if spends wisely, what's the living cost per month? Haha, would like to know how much one can save... I don't know... how much can you eat? Lunch can cost anywhere from $3 at a food court to $15 at Jack's Place. Both are considered normal daily lunch to a fresh graduate. Just depends on who you ask. So, you'd wanna frame your questions better. Don't ask such open ended questions.

If possible Own the place you stay, pay installment is better than paying rental that only helps others buying their house. Don't you want financial freedom and peace of mind one fine day? Married early will combine two incomes as one to take up any early opportunity but your are right about single enjoying life more. The question is for how long do you really want to enjoy that way.

Ya, but the first payment is very heavy on the pocket. 20% deposit + COV + misc fees.

QUOTE(crazy25kid @ Nov 15 2011, 09:24 AM) I think the fresh grad pay is closer to 3k~3k+ now. If both partner had been for ~3 years then the CPF should be just nice to cover deposit, a little saving from both side to cover other fees... can be done. If each of you earn more than 5k after 5 years working then you cant buy hdb anymore so the SG gov is kind of encouraging young couple to settle down early. I see young people are paying much higher price for the new HDB and most of them MUST have 5 figures renovation work done before move in.  wonder how they did it.

A public listed company is a company that has it's shares traded on a stock exchange. MNC just means a company that has offices is different country? at least that is my understanding.. may be wrong
